"Intellectual property - Policies that protect Intellectual Property rights of individual and organizations on the X Platform— Excerpt from X's X Rules and Policies
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Copyright enforcement engages the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the US, including its notice-and-takedown procedures and counter-notification rights. EU Copyright Directive Article 17 applies to platforms in the EU with respect to copyright-protected content. The automated claims system for live video may implicate fair use or fair dealing defenses that automated systems may not adequately assess. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium for individual users; High for media organizations, live streamers, and content creators who broadcast third-party audio or video. The automated live video copyright claim system described in the index can interrupt broadcasts in real time, creating operational risk for time-sensitive communications. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU users have DMCA-equivalent protections under the EU Copyright Directive but counter-notification procedures and timelines may differ. Users in jurisdictions with robust fair use or fair dealing provisions should be aware that automated systems may not apply these defenses consistently. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations that use X for live broadcasting events should assess their content licensing agreements to confirm coverage of X platform streaming. Vendors providing content to organizations for X broadcast should include platform-specific licensing representations. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams advising media, entertainment, or events clients should review the automated copyright claims policy in full to understand how real-time matching operates and what remediation procedures are available when broadcasts are incorrectly flagged.
