DMCA Policy
At Public Adda, we value and respect the creative work of others just as much as we protect our own original content. We are committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and supporting the protection of intellectual property rights. This page outlines our DMCA policy and the process to follow if you believe any content on www.publicadda.com infringes on your copyright.
Our Commitment to Copyright Protection
Public Adda publishes news, opinions, and informational content primarily focused on Jharkhand, and we strive to ensure that all material shared on our platform is either original, licensed, or falls under fair use.
We take copyright violations seriously. If we become aware of any content that infringes upon the legal rights of others, we act promptly to remove or disable access to such material in accordance with DMCA guidelines.
What Is Copyright Infringement?
Copyright infringement occurs when someone uses content (such as text, images, audio, or video) without proper authorization from the owner or without permission under applicable copyright exceptions, such as fair use. This includes:

-
Uploading or embedding unauthorized video or audio files

Republishing someone else’s intellectual property as your own
If you find such content on Public Adda and are the rightful copyright owner—or represent one—you may submit a formal takedown request under the DMCA.
