Copyright & Takedown Policy
We respect podcast creators and other rights holders. This process gives you a direct route to identify material, explain your rights, and ask us to review, correct, restrict, or remove it.
1. How the service uses sources
TLDR Pods creates original summaries of ideas discussed in publicly available podcast episodes. Tldrs point readers to source episodes with metadata, links, and timestamps so they can verify context and listen to the original work. We do not offer raw transcripts, transcript downloads, or a substitute archive of podcast episodes.
Podcast recordings, show names, artwork, episode metadata, and other source materials remain the property of their respective owners. Inclusion of a source does not imply affiliation, permission, sponsorship, or endorsement.
2. Send a notice
Email harveyyorke@proton.mewith the subject "Copyright notice". A useful notice includes:
- your full name, organisation, email address, and a reliable way to contact you;
- the copyrighted work, podcast, episode, trade mark, or other right you say is affected;
- the exact TLDR Pods URL, Tldr title, citation, quotation, or source listing at issue;
- a clear explanation of the concern and the action you want us to consider, such as a correction, attribution change, source exclusion, access restriction, or removal;
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the disputed use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or law;
- a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorised to act for them; and
- your physical or electronic signature.
If the concern is about privacy, defamation, factual accuracy, or safety rather than copyright, say so. We will route it appropriately. Do not include unnecessary identity documents or sensitive personal data.
3. What happens next
We will acknowledge a sufficiently detailed notice and assess it in context. We may ask for clarification or evidence of authority. While reviewing a credible concern, we may temporarily restrict a Tldr, citation, or source. Depending on the facts, we may correct attribution or context, remove a quotation or Tldr, disable a source, preserve evidence, or take no action.
We may share the substance of a notice and the claimant's contact details with the person who supplied affected material, a relevant publisher or platform, our advisers, or a court or authority where reasonably necessary to investigate, resolve the matter, or comply with law.
We aim to handle straightforward, complete notices promptly. Complex ownership, quotation, fair-dealing, jurisdiction, or identity questions may require more time or professional advice.
4. Responses & corrections
If material you supplied is restricted after a notice, you may respond with the affected URL, your contact details, why you believe the notice is mistaken or the use is lawful, supporting evidence, and your signature. We may provide that response to the complainant and restore or revise the material where appropriate.
Knowingly false, misleading, or abusive notices and responses can cause harm and may create legal liability. Submit only claims you are authorised to make.
5. Podcaster source requests
A verified podcaster, publisher, or authorised representative may also ask us to review future use of a particular feed or episode even where they are not making a formal infringement allegation. Identify the feed, explain your relationship to it, and tell us what outcome you are seeking. We will consider reasonable requests in light of source availability, public interest, user expectations, and applicable rights.
6. Legal notices
This process is available globally and is intended to make legitimate concerns easy to raise. It does not concede that any particular intermediary, safe-harbour, or notice regime applies, and it does not limit any right or defence available to a claimant, source owner, user, or YORKECCAK LTD.
