DMCA Policy

Last updated: August 15, 2026

CineCorner UK respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This page explains how to notify us if you believe material published on this site infringes your copyright.

Our use of film and television material

CineCorner UK publishes news, review and criticism about film and television. Posters, stills and promotional images are used to illustrate that commentary and remain the property of their respective rights holders. We believe such use constitutes fair dealing under sections 30 and 30A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, and fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107 where United States law applies. Where a rights holder disagrees, we will review the material promptly on receipt of a valid notice.

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on this site in a way that constitutes infringement, please send a written notice that includes all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorised to act on their behalf.

3. The exact URL or URLs on CineCorner UK where the material appears, so that we can locate it.
4. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.

6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

Incomplete notices cannot be processed. Please send your notice through the form on our Contact us page with the subject line "DMCA Notice".

What happens next

We review every valid notice. If the claim is substantiated, we will remove or disable access to the material, normally within five business days of receipt, and inform the author who published it.
