How video on HoopDrills works

Most video here is not hosted by us. It is embedded from YouTube, TikTok or Instagram, plays from that platform, and is credited on screen to the creator who made it. Coaches may also upload their own clips and images, which we do host.

If you are a creator and would prefer your work not appear on HoopDrills at all — even as a credited embed — you do not need to file a formal notice. Email [TODO: your copyright email] and we will remove it.

Reporting infringement

HoopDrills is operated from the Czech Republic, so notices are handled under EU law — the Digital Services Act’s notice-and-action mechanism. Because we are hosted on US infrastructure and have US users, we also accept and act on notices in DMCA form. One notice to the address below covers both; you do not need to file twice.

Whichever form you use, please include:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed;
• the URL or other detail letting us locate the material on HoopDrills — a direct link to the drill, workout or pack is ideal;
• your name, address, telephone number and email address;
• a statement that you believe in good faith 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 we do next

We aim to acknowledge notices within two business days. Where a notice appears valid we remove or disable access to the material promptly, and we tell the user who posted it, passing on your notice and our reasons so they can respond. As the DSA requires, decisions are made without unfair bias and you will be told the outcome of your notice.

If your content was removed

If we removed something of yours and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can challenge it — the DSA gives you a right to complain about our decision. Email [TODO: your copyright email] with: identification of the removed material and where it appeared; why you believe the removal was wrong; and your name and contact details.

We will review the complaint properly rather than automatically, and reinstate the material if the challenge is well-founded. If we receive a counter-notice in DMCA form we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the material after 10 to 14 business days unless they tell us they have started court proceedings.

Repeat infringers and false claims

Accounts that are the subject of repeated valid notices will be terminated, and we may suspend the accounts of people who repeatedly send obviously unfounded notices. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can carry legal consequences for you — including under 17 U.S.C. §512(f) where a notice is filed in DMCA form. If you are unsure whether a use infringes, please take advice before filing.
