How it Works
Managing disputes at scale requires a deep understanding of Fair Use, transformative content, and international copyright law.
At Choice Network, we use a 'Priority Review' system that categorizes disputes by revenue impact and match accuracy.
If a dispute is legitimate (e.g., licensed use), we release it immediately to protect your account health.
If it is invalid, we provide the necessary evidence to reinstate the claim.
In cases of 'Appeals' or 'Legal Takedowns', Choice Network handles the advanced documentation, ensuring that your rights are defended with the full weight of our enterprise CMS privileges..
Implementation Steps
Step 1: An uploader disputes a claim initiated by the Choice Network CMS.
Step 2: The dispute immediately appears in the Choice Network Adjudication Dashboard for expert review.
Step 3: Our team compares the challenged segment against your reference file and ownership proof.
Step 4: We execute the appropriate action: Release (if match is invalid) or Reinstate (if your rights are exclusive).
Step 5: If the uploader appeals, Choice Network legal experts review the case for potential DMCA takedown or manual settlement.
