1What “repeat infringers removed” means here

A repeat-infringer rule means notices are counted. After a number the terms do not give, the account can be closed.

2Other tools with this reading

Descript and MagicLight have the same reading, which makes 3 of the 24 tools.

The reading rests on the terms as published on the day read; the tool was not asked to confirm it.

3Why it matters for a book

Takedown runs the other way from the warranty: it is how a rights holder complains about something you uploaded. Where repeat infringers are removed, notices add up, and an account can be closed together with the projects in it.
