Effective Date: 2026
1. Introduction
New Artist Source (“NAS,” “we,” “our,” “the Platform”) respects the intellectual property rights of creators, artists, and copyright holders. NAS complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and provides a process for submitting copyright infringement notices and counter-notifications.

- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
- Identification of the infringing material, including URLs or direct links.
- Your contact information (name, address, phone number, email).

- Place a temporary hold on related earnings.

After receiving a valid counter-notification, NAS will:
- Forward the counter-notification to the original complainant.
- Allow the complainant 10 business days to file a court action.
- Restore the content if no legal action is filed and restoration does not violate other NAS policies.

- Multiple DMCA notices.
- Repeated copyright violations.
- Evidence of intentional infringement.
- Uploading movies, TV shows, music videos, or other high-risk content without proper rights.

- NAS may reverse payouts.
- NAS may deduct losses from future earnings.

- Content from unverified creators.
NAS may require proof of ownership or licensing before enabling monetization.
