☀️ Bright Miles: Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last updated: July 8, 2026

Bright Miles (formerly Bright Side) respects intellectual property rights and expects its users to do the same. Bright Miles is a hosting platform for user-generated content. Users are solely responsible for the content they post and must have the rights to post it. When we receive a valid notice that content infringes someone's copyright, we remove or disable access to that content expeditiously, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Reporting copyright infringement (Takedown Notice)

If you own a copyright (or are authorized to act for an owner) and believe content on Bright Miles infringes your work, send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed.
3. Identification of the infringing material and enough information for us to locate it (username, link, or screenshot).
4. Your contact information (name, address, phone, email).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

You can also flag content inside the app: open the ⋯ menu on it and choose Copyright / intellectual property. That files a report for our team to review; it does not take the content down by itself. If the claim holds, we remove or disable access to the content. An in-app report is not a formal DMCA notice: to send one, write to the agent below with the details listed above.

Designated Copyright Agent

This agent is also registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory.

After a valid notice

We remove or disable access to the reported content expeditiously, make a good-faith effort to notify the user who posted it, and may provide them a copy of the notice and an opportunity to file a counter-notice.

Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above containing: (1) your signature; (2) identification of the material and where it appeared; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and (4) your name, address, phone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal court, and that you will accept service of process from the complainant. We may restore the content in 10–14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.

Repeat Infringers

Bright Miles will, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing (or was removed by mistake) may be liable for damages.
