Copyright and DMCA Policy

Welcome to Bollywood Songs and Lyrics. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable international intellectual property laws, we have established the following policy regarding copyright infringement.

1. Ownership of Content and Intellectual Property

All song lyrics, movie titles, character names, artist aliases, album art, and promotional materials displayed on Bollywood Songs and Lyrics (https://bollywoodsongsandlyrics.com/) are the sole property of their respective copyright owners, which may include music labels, film production houses, composers, and lyricists.

Bollywood Songs and Lyrics does not claim ownership of any musical works, lyrics, or video content unless explicitly stated. Our platform serves as a digital library and news portal designed to curate and celebrate the cultural impact of Bollywood music.

2. Fair Use and Educational Purpose

The lyrics and information provided on this website are published for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only. We operate under the principles of “Fair Use” as recognized under international copyright laws. Our goal is to provide context, language learning (through English and Hindi scripts), and commentary on the artistic value of the songs.

By providing transcriptions and metadata (such as singer and musician credits), we aim to promote the original works and encourage fans to support the artists by purchasing official music and movie tickets. We do not provide direct audio or video file downloads (MP3/MP4) on our servers; all visual content is streamed via official third-party embedding tools.

3. YouTube Embedding Policy

Our website utilizes the YouTube API Services and standard embedding features provided by YouTube. We only embed videos that have been made available for sharing by the original uploaders (typically the official music labels or movie studios).

  • We do not host video files on our own servers
  • All views generated through our embedded players count directly towards the original creator’s YouTube statistics and monetization
  • If a copyright owner chooses to disable embedding or removes the video from YouTube, the content will automatically become unavailable on our site

4. DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that any material hosted on our website infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a Notification of Claimed Infringement. To be effective, the notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

  • A Physical or Electronic Signature: The signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed
  • Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A clear description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notification, please provide a representative list
  • Identification of the Infringing Material: A description of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (specifically, the exact URLs of the pages on our site)
  • Contact Information: Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and an email address where we can reach you
  • Statement of Good Faith: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law

  • Notify the individual who posted the material (if applicable) that access has been disabled
  • Maintain a record of the claim to prevent “repeat infringers” in accordance with our internal policies

We aim to process all legitimate takedown requests within 48 to 72 hours.

6. Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that your content was removed by mistake or through misidentification, you may submit a Counter-Notification. This request must be in writing and include:
