Copyright & DMCA Policy
MediaDocks respects the intellectual property rights of creators and copyright holders. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).
Ephemeral Architecture & Non-Hosting Notice
MediaDocks is an ephemeral stream multiplexing and conversion utility. We do not host, store, index, or archive any user video, audio, or image files on our servers. All media files processed through our tool originate directly from third-party public servers and are streamed transiently in memory directly to the user's browser.
Despite storing zero permanent media files, MediaDocks takes all copyright concerns seriously and maintains a proactive system to block access to specific URLs, channels, or accounts upon receipt of a valid notice.
What this service may and may not be used for
The AI transcription, subtitle and summarisation tools operate on files you supply, and we assume you have the right to process them. The link-based converters read publicly accessible media, and a file arriving on your device grants you no rights you did not already hold. The distinction below is the one that matters.
Generally legitimate
- Transcribing or captioning recordings you made or commissioned yourself.
- Saving your own uploads back from a platform you published them to.
- Material released under a permissive licence such as Creative Commons, within that licence's terms.
- Works in the public domain, where copyright has expired or was never asserted.
- Content whose rightsholder has given you explicit permission.
- Producing accessibility accommodations — captions, transcripts — where you hold the rights or have authorisation.
Not permitted
- Republishing, redistributing or monetising someone else's work without authorisation.
- Re-uploading third-party content to your own channel or feed.
- Building a derivative library, archive or dataset from material you do not hold rights to.
- Removing or obscuring attribution, watermarks or credit from a creator's work.
- Commercial use of third-party media without a licence that permits it.
- Bulk or automated extraction at scale, which we rate-limit and do not support.
Platform terms of service are a separate obligation
Copyright is not the only thing governing what you may do with media from a hosting platform. Most large platforms, YouTube among them, prohibit downloading their content in their own terms of service, independently of who owns the copyright in any particular video.
That restriction is a contractual matter between you and the platform, and it can apply even to material that is public domain or openly licensed, and in some cases even to your own uploads. Agreeing to a platform's terms and then downloading from it is a question of that agreement rather than of copyright law. You are responsible for knowing which terms you have accepted, and we encourage you to use a platform's own official download or export feature where one is offered.
Fair use is narrower than it is usually assumed to be
Fair use in the United States, and fair dealing in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and elsewhere, can permit limited unlicensed use for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching and research. These doctrines are real and genuinely important.
They are also narrower, more fact-specific and less predictable than internet convention suggests. Fair use is assessed case by case against statutory factors including the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the work, how much was taken, and the effect on the market for the original. Crediting the creator does not establish it. Neither does adding a disclaimer, keeping a clip under some supposed duration threshold, or not making money — these are widely repeated and none of them is a rule. Fair dealing regimes outside the US are typically more restrictive still, limited to enumerated purposes.
Nothing on this page is legal advice. If your intended use depends on fair use or fair dealing to be lawful, that is precisely the situation in which qualified advice for your jurisdiction is worth obtaining.

Prohibited Conduct & Repeat Infringers
Users are strictly prohibited from using MediaDocks to process copyrighted material without authorization. In accordance with applicable law, MediaDocks maintains a strict policy of terminating or blocking access to users, automated systems, or IP ranges that repeatedly attempt to misuse the service for copyright infringement.
Several measures support this in the design of the service rather than only in policy. The tool never authenticates, so private, follower-only and paywalled material stays out of reach; it does not bypass age gates, CAPTCHA or DRM; bulk playlist and channel extraction is deliberately unimplemented, since that is the pattern most associated with wholesale republishing; and per-visitor rate limits cap sustained automated use. Where a valid notice identifies specific sources, we block extraction from them.
We would rather the scope of this tool be clear than maximise what it appears able to do. Each platform page states which links work and which do not, measured against live public URLs, and the service reports an honest unavailable result instead of attempting to work around a restriction.
Got a link? That is the entire setup.
