DMCA & Copyright Policy

Our approach

We respect copyright and expect our writers and users to do the same. Movies In Theaters does not host or link to pirated movies or unauthorised streams. We publish our own writing, short excerpts of critic reviews and headlines with a link to the original, and movie data and images under TMDB's terms. If you believe something on the site infringes your copyright, tell us and we will act promptly under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Sending a takedown notice

Email [email protected] with the subject "DMCA notice" and include:

• Your name, address, phone number and email.
• The copyrighted work you believe is infringed (a link or description).
• The exact URL(s) on moviesintheaters.us where the material appears.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for the owner.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We review complete notices and remove or disable the material when the claim is valid, usually within a few business days, and we let the person who posted it know.

Counter-notices

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, email [email protected] with the subject "DMCA counter-notice", including your contact details, the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake, your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court, and your signature. We forward valid counter-notices to the person who filed the original notice and may restore the material after 10 business days unless they tell us they have started court action.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of users and writers who repeatedly post infringing material.

Misuse

Knowingly false claims in a notice or counter-notice can make you liable for damages under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).
