Copyright & DMCA
Free Online Video Downloader respects the rights of creators and rights holders. This page explains our position and how to raise a concern.
Last updated: July 2026
Our role
Free Online Video Downloader is a tool that helps users retrieve publicly available media. We do not host, store, or own the videos and audio that pass through the service. Content remains on the source platforms and their content delivery networks.
Your responsibility
Users must only download content they own or are authorised to use. Downloading or redistributing copyrighted material without permission is prohibited under our terms of service.
How to file a copyright notice
If you believe your rights are being infringed through the use of our tool, please send a notice through our contact page. To help us act quickly, include the following:
- Your full name, contact details, and relationship to the work.
- A clear description of the copyrighted work involved.
- The specific link(s) or content at issue.
- A statement, made in good faith, that the use is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and an electronic or physical signature of the rights holder or authorised agent.
Counter-notification
If you believe content was wrongly restricted, you may submit a counter-notice with your contact details, identification of the material, and a good-faith statement that it was restricted by mistake or misidentification. We will review counter-notices fairly.
Repeat infringers
We take repeated or clearly abusive infringement seriously and may take appropriate action where it is within our control to do so.
What happens next
We review valid notices and take appropriate action, which may include restricting access to specific sources where feasible. Because we do not host the underlying content, some concerns may need to be raised directly with the source platform that stores the material.
