DMCA & Copyright

Last updated Nov 8, 2026

PixelArk (pixelark.net), respects the rights of copyright owners. This page explains how to report content you believe infringes your rights, and what we do with your report. It follows the notice procedure of Section 512 of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA); notices under other laws, such as the copyright law of the Republic of Moldova or of the European Union, are handled the same way.

What is on PixelArk

  • Game pages: facts about games (titles, dates, platforms), covers and data from IGDB and Wikidata, trailers embedded from YouTube.

  • Editorial content written for PixelArk: stories, guides, news and emulator sheets. Emulator sheets only link to the official pages of each project.

  • Links to files stored by third-party hosts. PixelArk does not store game files on its own servers, but it does publish links to them. These links can be reported like any other content.

  • Comments and ratings written by members.

How to send a notice

Send your notice by email to [email protected], with "Copyright notice" in the subject. It must include:

  • the copyrighted work you believe is infringed;

  • the exact address (URL) of each page or link on PixelArk you want removed;

  • your name, or the name of the company you act for, and your postal address, phone number and email address;

  • a statement that you believe in good faith that this use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;

  • a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf;

  • your physical or electronic signature.

A notice that misses one of these points may be delayed while we ask for it. The contact form can be used for a first message, but a complete notice by email is faster to process.

What we do

  • We review each complete notice and answer within 7 business days.

  • When the notice is valid, we remove the content or disable access to it. A reported link is taken off the site.

  • When the content was posted by a member, we tell them, where we can, that it was removed and why.

  • We keep a record of the notices we receive. Members who repeatedly post infringing content lose their account.

Counter-notice

If content you posted was removed by mistake or because it was misidentified, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include:

  • the content that was removed and the address where it appeared;

  • your name, postal address, phone number and email address;

  • a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith that the content was removed by mistake or misidentification;

  • a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts competent for your address, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice;

  • your physical or electronic signature.

We forward a valid counter-notice to the person who sent the notice. The content may be restored unless they tell us they have started legal action.

Misleading notices

Sending a notice you know to be false can make you liable for damages. If you are not sure that the content infringes your rights, please seek legal advice first.

Links to other sites

PixelArk links to sites it does not run. We do not control their content; to have a file removed from a third-party host, contact that host as well.
