Copyright & reporting
Players publish their own challenges, kits, samples and videos. If something uses your work without permission, tell us and we'll deal with it. We respond to notices under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), and we treat notices from anywhere in the world the same way.

Find the challenge, press REPORT, and choose It uses my work. The form asks for everything a valid notice needs and gives you a case number.
Or send a notice by email or post
To our designated agent:
Copyright Handler, DrumSumDrum
334 Mc Leod Drive, Cocoa, FL 32922
Email: copyright@drumsumdrum.com
US Copyright Office DMCA designated agent registration: DMCA-1082929
A notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is fine).
- The copyrighted work you say is infringed, or a representative list if there are several.
- The material you say infringes it, with enough detail for us to find it: the challenge or kit name, the uploader's name, and what in it is yours (for example, "the snare sample").
- Your name, postal address, phone number and email.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn't 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're the owner or authorised to act for the owner.
Notices missing any of these may not be valid, and we may ask you to complete them. Knowingly false claims can make you liable for damages (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).
What happens next
- Within 2 business days we review a complete notice. If it's valid, we disable access to the material: the challenge is removed from public listings and any kit file is withdrawn.
- We tell the uploader, and may pass on your notice, including your name and email, so they can respond.
- Other reports (offensive content, spam) are reviewed within 7 days.
Counter-notices (if your upload was removed)
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to the agent above containing:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- What was removed, and where it appeared before removal (or the case number).
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the US federal district court for your address (or, if you're outside the US, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you'll accept service of process from the person who sent the notice or their agent.
We forward a valid counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they've filed a court action to stop the infringement, we restore the content 10 to 14 business days after we received the counter-notice.
Repeat infringers
Each valid notice counts as a strike against the uploader's account. After three strikes within 12 months, or sooner for flagrant abuse, we close the account. A successful counter-notice removes the strike.
