+# DMCA & Copyright
+
+<p class="page-description">Content sources used by Vyla API and how rights holders can request removal.</p>
+
+Vyla API is a self-hosted streaming proxy that aggregates publicly accessible stream URLs from third-party providers. Vyla does not host, store, upload, or distribute any video content. All media is served directly from its original source.
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+Vyla acts as a **reverse proxy and aggregator**. When a stream is requested:
+
+1. Vyla queries third-party providers for a stream URL.
+2. That URL is proxied through the Vyla server to handle CORS headers.
+3. The underlying video segments are fetched from their original CDN and passed through to the client.
+
+At no point does Vyla store, transcode, or re-host any media file.
+
+---
+
+## Content Sources
+
+The following third-party sources are scraped or proxied by Vyla API. These are upstream providers — Vyla does not control, operate, or own any of them.
+
+You can find the full list of sources in the [stream-api sources directory](https://gitlab.com/vyla-entertainment/sdk/-/tree/main/src/sources).
+
+---
+
+## DMCA / Takedown Requests
+
+If you are a rights holder and believe that content accessible through Vyla API infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown request. Because Vyla does not host the content itself, the most effective path is to contact the upstream source directly.
+
+However, Vyla can disable specific providers or sources upon valid request.
