DMCA / Copyright Complaints

Last updated: April 2026

Before you file: NUZU News is a headline-and-link aggregator. We do not host article text, images, video, or audio. Every headline on our site links directly to the original publisher, where the full article lives. If your complaint is about the body of an article, you will need to contact the publisher that hosts it — not NUZU.

What NUZU actually displays

On our pages you will see:

A short headline as written by the publisher in their RSS feed.
The publisher's name.
A small favicon or logo used to identify the publisher.
A link that takes the reader to the publisher's website.

We do not reproduce article bodies, lead paragraphs, photographs, or embedded media beyond the small identifying favicon.

When to contact NUZU directly

Please send a notice to NUZU if:

You are the publisher of an outlet we link to and you would like us to stop including your feed. We will remove the feed on the next build (typically within the next hourly cycle).
The small favicon / logo we use to identify your outlet is incorrect, outdated, or being used in a way you object to.
A headline on NUZU is substantially different from the one the publisher actually ran (rare, but possible when feeds are malformed).
You believe a specific cluster or grouping of your content on NUZU infringes your rights in a manner not addressed above.

How to send a takedown notice

To comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), your written notice should include each of the following:

Your identification. Full legal name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
Identification of the work. Description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed (for example, "headlines published on example.com between date and date").
Identification of the material on NUZU. The exact URL(s) on nuzunews.github.io where the material appears, together with a screenshot if helpful.
Good-faith statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by you, the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
Accuracy statement. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Signature. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or their authorized representative.

How we respond

We aim to act on complete, good-faith notices within 48 hours:

Feed-level removal. If you ask for your publication to be removed, we drop the feed on the next hourly build. Because we host nothing, removing the feed is the complete remedy.
Specific item removal. For a specific headline or cluster, we verify the link, remove it from the live data, and confirm the removal by email.
Favicon / logo issues. We will either update the icon with a version you approve or remove it from the display.

Counter-notices

Because we don't host user-generated content, traditional DMCA counter-notices rarely apply. If a publisher believes their feed was removed in error, they may email us at the same address and request re-inclusion; we will treat the request with the same 48-hour response target.

False or abusive notices

Submitting a materially false DMCA notice may carry legal consequences under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Please only send a notice if you have a genuine, good-faith basis for doing so.

Other rights

Trademark complaints, right-of-publicity questions, and other intellectual-property matters not covered by the DMCA can be sent to the same email address. We will route them to the right place and respond on the same timeline.
