GTA Nerd respects intellectual property rights and expects users, contributors, and community members to do the same.

This Copyright and DMCA Policy explains how copyright owners can request removal of allegedly infringing material from GTAnerd.com.

Our content and ownership

Original GTA Nerd articles, text, original graphics, editorial formats, layouts, and website elements are owned by GTA Nerd unless otherwise stated.

Third-party names, trademarks, game titles, screenshots, videos, artwork, and other referenced materials remain the property of their respective owners.

GTA Nerd does not claim ownership of Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive, Grand Theft Auto, GTA, GTA VI, GTA V, or related intellectual property.

Use of third-party material

GTA Nerd may reference limited third-party material for purposes such as news reporting, commentary, criticism, education, analysis, or discussion.

We aim to avoid hosting leaked, stolen, pirated, datamined, or unauthorized pre-release material.

We also avoid publishing content whose main purpose is to distribute spoilers, cheating tools, exploit services, unauthorized mods, pirated game files, or infringing material.

DMCA takedown notices

If you believe content on GTAnerd.com infringes your copyright, please send a written notice through our Contact page or to the copyright contact email listed on our website.

To help us review your request, a complete notice should include:

  1. Your full legal name and contact information.
  2. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative.
  3. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
  4. The exact URL or location of the material you want removed or disabled.

  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Incomplete notices may delay our response.

Response to notices

When we receive a complete and valid copyright notice, we may remove or disable access to the identified material while we review the request.

We may also contact the person who posted or provided the material, where applicable.

Counter-notices

If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice.

A counter-notice should include:

  1. Your full legal name and contact information.
  2. Identification of the removed material and the URL where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
  4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction required by applicable law and will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.
  5. Your physical or electronic signature.

After receiving a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material if the original complainant does not notify us of legal action within the required period, where applicable.

Repeat infringers

GTA Nerd may restrict, suspend, or terminate access for users or contributors who repeatedly submit or upload infringing material.

Community submissions

If GTA Nerd allows comments, tips, forums, Discord submissions, uploads, or other user-generated content, users are responsible for the material they submit.

Do not submit copyrighted material you do not have permission to share. Do not submit leaked footage, stolen files, pirated copies, datamined assets, unauthorized game materials, malware, spam, or content that violates third-party rights.

DMCA agent note

If GTA Nerd enables user-generated content at scale or relies on DMCA safe-harbor protections, we may designate and maintain a registered DMCA agent as required by applicable law.
