DMCA Copyright Policy

Last updated: September 25, 2026

KuroKoma (operated by Mediawoo) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the people we work with to do the same. This page explains how to notify us if you believe that content in our store infringes your copyright, and what we do when we receive such a notice. Our procedure follows the notice and takedown principles of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and applicable European law.

Our Designs

The posters in our store are fan-made designs created by our artists and freelance designers, and designs that anime fans send us. Everyone who submits artwork to us confirms that it is their own original work and is solely responsible for the rights in it. We rely on these confirmations and cannot independently verify every submission. If you can show that a design in our store uses your work without permission, we will remove it from the store promptly after verifying your notice.

Notice of Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that material in our store infringes your copyright, send us a written notice that includes:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If your notice covers several works, a representative list is enough.
Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it, such as the product name and the URL of the product page.
Your contact details: name, postal address, email address and, if available, a phone number.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send your notice by email to info@kurokoma.com with the subject line "Copyright notice". Notices sent through our contact page are also accepted.

Please note that under the DMCA, a person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are not sure whether the material infringes your copyright, consider seeking legal advice before sending a notice.

What We Do When We Receive a Notice

When we receive a valid notice, we remove or disable access to the material identified in it, notify the designer who provided the material and give them a copy of the notice, including your contact details, so that they can respond. We may also share the notice with the person who submitted the material.

Counter-Notification

If material you provided to us was removed because of a copyright notice and you believe that the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification that includes:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, email address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of your place of residence and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

Send counter-notifications to info@kurokoma.com. When we receive a valid counter-notification, we forward it to the person who filed the original notice. If that person does not inform us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to prevent the material from being restored, we may restore the material.

Repeat Infringers

We end our cooperation with designers who repeatedly submit infringing material, and we remove all of their designs from our store.

Intellectual Property and Publicity Rights

Copyright protects the expression of an original idea recorded in a tangible form, such as an illustration, a photo or a text. It does not protect ideas, styles, names or general concepts. Trademarks protect names, logos and other brand identifiers, and publicity rights protect the commercial use of a person's name, image or likeness. If your complaint concerns a trademark or a publicity right rather than a copyright, contact us at info@kurokoma.com with a description of the right you hold and the material you object to, and we will review it in the same way.
