DMCA & Copyright

The short version

If something on bulaev.ai copies your work, tell me and I'll look at it. A notice that follows the form below gets handled fastest, because it contains everything I need to act without guessing.

Most of what is here I wrote or built myself. Members can also post in the feed and put links and screenshots on their profiles, so material I did not create can appear on the site.

Designated agent

bulaev.ai is operated by She Just Works LLC, and copyright notices go to that company:

The rest of this page is in Serge's voice, because he is the person who reads your notice and acts on it. Where it describes a duty under the DMCA — removing material, forwarding a counter-notice, restoring material, terminating an account — that duty is She Just Works LLC's and Serge carries it out for the company. Where it says something was written or is owned, that is Serge himself.

She Just Works LLC publishes a DMCA page of its own on shejust.works naming this same agent for every product it runs. Both pages apply: where they differ on a point, this page controls for bulaev.ai; where this page is silent, the company page fills the gap.

Email is the fastest route and counts as service. X and Telegram still work for a quick question, but a formal notice or counter-notice should go to the address above so it lands where it can be acted on.

What a takedown notice must contain

A notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) has to include all six of these. If one is missing I'll ask for it before I can act:

1. Your physical or electronic signature, as the owner or someone authorised to act for the owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say was infringed.
3. Identification of the material you want removed, precise enough for me to find it — the full URL of the page, and which part of it.
4. Your contact details: name, address, phone number and email.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

What happens next

• A compliant notice is reviewed expeditiously. How long that takes depends on the notice.
• If it is valid, I remove or disable access to the material and notify the member who posted it — telling them what was removed and enough about the claim to respond to it.
• If the material came from a member, they may reply with a counter-notice. If it is mine, I either take it down or explain why I believe the use is licensed or fair.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address — or, if you are outside the United States, of any district in which She Just Works LLC may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice, or that person's agent.

I forward valid counter-notices to the person who filed the original notice. The material is then restored in not fewer than 10 and not more than 14 business days after I receive the counter-notice — unless that person first tells me they have filed an action seeking a court order to stop the activity, in which case it stays down.

Repeat infringers

Accounts of repeat infringers are terminated in appropriate circumstances, as 17 U.S.C. § 512(i) requires. A notice is an allegation, not a finding, so I weigh what is around it — how many notices there are, whether any were withdrawn or answered by a counter-notice, and what the member did after the first one. Where termination does follow, it ends the membership without a refund, in line with the Terms of Use, and the git access provisioned for that account is revoked.

Please don't misuse this

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing makes you liable for the damages and legal costs that follow. If the real complaint is about tone, competition, or a link you dislike, this is the wrong form — write to me on X instead.

This page describes a process, not legal advice. If a takedown matters to you, talk to a lawyer before you file.
