Copyright & takedowns
Last updated 10 August 2026
DisDubs is a dubbing game: it plays a clip and records people performing over it. That means copyrighted footage is involved, so this page says plainly what we host, what users bring, and how to get something removed.
Where the material comes from
There are two kinds of scene in DisDubs and they are not in the same position.
- The built-in catalogue. A small set of scenes installed by us and offered to every server. We host and serve these. They are dub packs made by The Choicer Voicer community authors and they contain footage from films and television we do not own.
- Scenes people upload. Anyone can import a dub pack into their own Discord server. Those are private to the server that uploaded them, we did not choose them, and the person who uploaded one is responsible for having the right to use it.
If you are a rights holder, the distinction matters for who to complain to but not for what happens next: tell us and it comes down. We do not require a court order, a lawyer, or a perfectly formatted notice to remove something.
Reporting something
Email admin@gridiron-duels.com with the subject line Copyright. The fastest thing you can send is the scene title and, if you have it, the URL. A plain description of the work and where you saw it is enough to get it looked at.
If you want the notice to be a formal one under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, include all six of these:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed;
- identification of the material to be removed, specific enough that we can find it: a scene title or URL;
- your address, telephone number and email address;
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law;
- a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.
Sending a notice you know to be false can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Please do not use this to take down something you simply dislike.

Reporting from inside the game
DisDubs has a Report button on both scenes and finished dubs, and it reaches the same people. That is the better route for anything about a performance, meaning what somebody said into a microphone, because it tells us which room and which recording without you needing to describe it. Copyright complaints about footage are better by email, where you can identify the work.
What we do
We remove the material. Depending on what it is, that means deleting the scene from the catalogue, deleting an uploaded scene from the server that holds it, or deleting a finished dub. We will tell whoever uploaded it that it was removed and why.
Note that recordings are deleted on a schedule anyway: raw takes after about two hours, finished dubs after six hours. See the privacy policy. Something you saw yesterday is very likely gone already, which is why a notice is worth sending promptly if you want the file itself looked at rather than only the scene it was made from.
Counter-notice
If your scene was removed and you believe that was a mistake or that you hold the rights, email us a counter-notice containing: your signature; identification of what was removed and where it was; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if you are outside the United States, the District of Montana), and that you will accept service from the person who complained.
We may restore the material after 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant tells us they have filed a court action.
Repeat infringers
Accounts and Discord servers that repeatedly upload material they do not have the right to use lose access to importing, and then to DisDubs. We keep a record of removals in order to apply this. There is no fixed number of strikes and no appeals process beyond emailing us; it is a hobby project run by one person.
A note on dubs themselves
A finished dub is a recording of people performing over a clip. Even where the performance is clearly transformative, the underlying footage is not ours to license, and nothing on this page is a claim that dubbing something makes it yours. If you make a dub, you own your performance and nothing else in the file.
