Copyright & DMCA Policy

First, what this Service actually is

All-in-One Video Download is a general-purpose tool. It does not host, store, index, catalogue, search, recommend or distribute any media. There is no library on this Site and no way to browse anything. Nothing is retrieved until a user supplies a specific URL, the file is delivered to that user and deleted from our temporary storage immediately afterwards, and we keep no record of what any user retrieved.

We also do not circumvent technical protection measures. Private, age-restricted, paywalled and members-only content cannot be retrieved through this Service, and DRM-protected services are not supported. That is a deliberate design choice, not a gap.

We explain this because it affects what a notice can usefully ask us to do: since we host nothing, there is generally no file for us to take down. What we can do — and do — is act against the users and the patterns of use behind an infringement, and block specific sources where that is the appropriate remedy.

Sending a notice of claimed infringement

If you own a copyright, or are authorised to act for the owner, and you believe this Service has been used to infringe it, send a written notice to the address above containing all of the following. These are the elements required by section 512(c)(3) of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and they are what lets us act quickly rather than come back to you for more information:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of someone authorised to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed — or, for multiple works in one notice, a representative list.
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it. For this Service that means the specific source URL involved, and any identifying details of the use you are reporting.
• Your contact details: name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

What happens next

• Within 48 hours of receiving a complete notice we acknowledge it and begin investigating.
• We take the appropriate action available to us: blocking the source URL or domain from being processed, applying restrictions to the users involved, and where warranted terminating their access to the Service.
• We record the notice and what we did about it, and we count it toward our repeat-infringer process.
• We tell you what action was taken. If the honest answer is that there was nothing for us to remove because we host nothing, we will say so plainly rather than send a form reply implying otherwise.

Counter-notice

If your access was restricted and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to legal@allinonevideodownload.com containing your signature; identification of the material and the restriction applied; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was the result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, together with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

We will forward a valid counter-notice to the original complainant. If they do not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order, we may restore access.

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the access of users who are repeat infringers. In practice: a first valid notice results in a warning and restrictions; a second results in an extended block; a third results in permanent termination of access. Serious cases — commercial-scale infringement or organised redistribution — skip straight to permanent termination.

Please do not send abusive notices

Under section 512(f) of the DMCA, knowingly and materially misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. We do read notices rather than process them automatically, and we push back on ones that are plainly being used to suppress lawful criticism, commentary or competition.

If you are a user who received a notice

Read our guide to copyright and fair use — it explains, without legalese, why “it was publicly available” and “I credited the creator” are not permissions, and what actually is. Then read the Acceptable Use Policy. If you believe the notice was wrong, the counter-notice route above is open to you.

Other jurisdictions

We are based in India and also act on notices under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 and the Information Technology Act, 2000 together with the rules made under it. Rights holders in the EU may reference the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. The elements listed above satisfy all of these — send that information and the notice will be processed whichever framework you are relying on.
