 1. WHICH TYPES OF ART ARE SUBJECT TO DMCA?

Copyright ownership gives the owner the exclusive right to use the work, with some exceptions. When a person creates an original work, fixed in a tangible medium, he or she automatically owns copyright to the work. Many types of works are eligible for copyright protection, for example: 

• Audiovisual works, such as TV shows, movies, and online videos 

• Sound recordings and musical compositions 

• Written works, such as lectures, articles, books, and musical compositions 

• Visual works, such as paintings, posters, and advertisements 

• Video games and computer software 

• Dramatic works, such as plays and musicals

 The Copyright Office has information online, 

and you can check with a lawyer if you want to know more.

 Can I use content from a work that’s protected by a copyright?

 Copyright holders have the right to control most uses of their works. In some circumstances, it's possible to use a copyright-protected work without infringing their copyright: 

• You've checked with the copyright holder, who has allowed you to use the content. It's a good idea to get written permission from them, for example, in the form of a license agreement. 

• Some copyright holders make their works available to others for uncompensated reuse, with a few requirements. To learn more, you can read about Creative Commons licenses. 

• In some cases, you can use content from a work that’s protected by copyright without getting permission from the copyright holder. That's because some uses of copyrighted works are considered "Fair Use" or may fall within a limitation or exception to copyright law such as fair dealing. 

If you're not sure whether the use you’re considering is legal without permission, you may wish to consult a Patent / Trademark lawyer.

 What If I State That "No Copyright Infringement is Intended"?

 If you don't have permission to use copyright-protected work, your content could still be removed even if: 

• You gave credit to the copyright holder. When giving permission to use their work, some copyright holders ask that you do this. In some cases, you may also need to credit the copyright holder if you plan to use their work in a way that you consider fair use or fair dealing. However, this doesn't automatically give you the right to use the content without permission. 

• You bought the content, including a physical or digital copy. Owning a copy means you might be able to sell that copy or give it to a friend, but it doesn't give you the right to publicly share that content with the entire internet. 

• You're not making a profit from the content. While it's more likely that non-commercial use can be considered fair use, or might satisfy the requirements of some licenses, not making a profit alone doesn’t always mean your use is non-infringing. 

• You've seen similar content elsewhere on the internet. Those other users might have gotten permission to share the content, or they may be using the content in a way that can be considered fair use. 

• You recorded the content yourself from the TV, a movie theater, or the radio. Making your own copy from one of these sources doesn't give you the right to the underlying content. 

• You copied the content yourself from a textbook, a movie poster, or a photograph. As with the above, making your own copy doesn't give you the rights to the underlying content. 

• You've stated that "no copyright infringement is intended." This never helps. Copyright infringement is a "strict liability" offense. This means that when the courts decide whether there was copyright infringement, they don’t look at whether you intended to infringe or not.

 Can Apex Card Services Determine Copyright Ownership?

 NO. Apex NFT Card isn't able to mediate rights ownership disputes of Trademarks or Copyrights. We will however perform a check with the USPTO for a result callback, However, when we receive a complete and valid takedown notice, we remove the content as per the law requires to under the DMCA (Digital Millennial Copyright Act . When we receive a valid counter notification, we forward it to the person who requested the removal. If there's still a dispute, it's up to the parties involved to resolve the issue in court or mediation. Ultimately is solely up to the one that is requesting membership to investigate if the New Work is Copywritten BEFORE Minting The NFT with Apex Card Services on a Third Party Blockchain such as Ethereum or Polygon for example. Apex Card Services and ZenChip PRIME as well as its partners and affiliates will accept no responsibility for Copyright or Trademark Infringement due to Member(s) lack of due dilligence.

 What's the Difference Between Copyright & Trademark? What About Patents?

 Copyright is just one form of intellectual property. It isn't the same as trademark, which protects brand names, mottos, logos, and other source identifiers from being used by others for certain purposes. It's also different from patent law, which protects inventions.

 What's The Difference Between Copyright & Privacy?

 Just because you appear in a video, image, or audio recording doesn't mean you own the copyright to it. For example, if your friend took a picture of you, she would own the copyright to the image that she took. If your friend, or someone else, uploaded a video, image or recording of you without your permission, and you feel it violates your privacy or safety, you may wish to file a privacy complaint.
