Story.com, terms of service

1What “a notice-and-takedown route” means here

A notice-and-takedown route follows the U.S. DMCA pattern: the rights holder sends a notice, the material comes down, and the uploader may answer with a counter-notice.

2Other tools with this reading

Animaker, CapCut, Fliki, Higgsfield, invideo, Krea, Luma, OpenArt, Pika, SceneMixer and Vidu have the same reading, which makes 12 of the 24 tools.

Terms of service change without notice, so the current version on the tool's site governs.

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.
