DMCA / Copyright Policy & Takedown Requests
GlobePulseTV respects intellectual property rights and acts promptly upon receiving valid Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) removal notices.
Platform Operating Disclaimer
“GlobePulseTV does not host, broadcast, or re-transmit any media content. All stream URLs are aggregated from publicly accessible index sources. Copyright owners may request stream removal via dmca@globepulsetv.com.”
1. Aggregation & Neutral Carrier Architecture
GlobePulseTV operates strictly as an open-source media feed indexer and stream player interface. Our platform does not own, record, store, or re-broadcast any of the live HLS stream manifests accessible through the directory. All metadata and stream endpoints are gathered from public domain sources and global IPTV index repositories.
2. High-Risk Category Filtering & Automated Blocklist
To prevent copyright infringement, GlobePulseTV maintains strict repository sanitization filters during database seeding:
- Exclusion of high-risk commercial categories (e.g. premium sports events, paid cable channels, and copyrighted movie streams).
- Inclusion of public domain broadcasts, state news, regional municipal programming, and free-to-air feeds.
- Instant automated suppression of streams listed on official IPTV blocklist registers.
