Important: The complaint handling department (including administration and management) of the InstaLawyer site will not consider the following types of complaints, and the rights holder accepts this:

If the video material, whose publication allegedly violates the rights of the rights holder, is physically located on a third-party resource, such as fb.com, youtube.com, video.bigmir.net, rutube.ru, video.online.ua, video.mail.ru, truba.com, vimeo.com or other similar video file storage services, and is only embedded as video streaming code on the InstaLawyer site page.

In this case, InstaLawyer does not violate any copyright with respect to such video material, as InstaLawyer has no relation to the distribution of such video, only displaying publicly accessible information (similar to how search engines do) that is distributed on third-party resources.

If such video material violates the rights of the rights holder, the rights holder must contact the original source and remove the video that violates their rights on the video hosting site.

After removing the video file from the video hosting site, it will automatically be removed (without any intervention) from the InstaLawyer site.

In this case, there is no point in demanding the removal of any video from the InstaLawyer site, but you should contact the original site that distributes the video. InstaLawyer will provide a link under each video file that will direct to the original site from where the video is broadcast, and where the rights holder should direct their complaints. This will save a lot of time for our complaint handling department and the rights holder.
