Copyright Policy

1.Purpose
1.1Setlyst respects the rights of authors, composers, arrangers, publishers and other rights holders. This Policy explains the responsibilities of those who use the platform and the notice, takedown and counter-notice procedures.
2.Legal protection
2.1Lyrics, musical compositions, arrangements and transcriptions are intellectual works protected by Brazilian Law 9,610/1998 (Copyright Law). Reproducing, distributing and communicating these works to the public generally require the prior and express authorisation of the rights holders.
2.2Setlyst does not supply or license lyrics, chords or musical works. We are not a licensing intermediary and do not grant authorisation for public performance, which is governed by its own rules.
3.Content added by users
3.1The whole Setlyst repertoire is added by users themselves. Whoever adds a work is solely responsible for having the right to use it or for using it in a way the law allows.
3.2Keeping lyrics and chords in your account for study, rehearsal and support of your own performance is what the platform was made for. That private use does not authorise public distribution of the work.
3.3Your own works, works in the public domain and works under a licence that allows sharing may be shared freely, within the limits of that licence.
4.Public sharing
4.1Public links show only the running order and technical information (title, artist, key, tempo and duration), without lyrics or chords, and the PDF that can be downloaded from a public link does not include them either. Setlyst therefore does not reproduce or communicate to the public, through public links, the lyrics and chords entered by users.
4.2Free-text fields shown on public links, such as the setlist description, must not contain third-party lyrics or chords; content in that situation may be taken down under this Policy.
4.3Within a band, content is visible only to its members, according to the permissions set.
5.Infringement notice
5.1A rights holder, or their representative, can notify Setlyst through the dedicated, permanently available channel suporte@setlyst.com.br, with the subject “Copyright”. The Contact page and the “Report content” option on public links lead to this channel. So that we can locate the content unambiguously and assess the request, the notice must include:
- the full name or company name, CPF or CNPJ (or equivalent tax ID), e-mail address and phone number of the notifying party;
- if acting as a representative, a document proving the power to represent;
- identification of the protected work and of the ownership of the rights;
- the address (URL) of the public link or, where there is none, precise identification of the content (title, username or band);
- a description of how the content infringes the rights;
- a statement that the use has not been authorised by the rights holder, their representative or the law;
- a statement, under penalty of law, that the information is true and that the notifying party is the rights holder or is authorised to act on their behalf;
- a physical or electronic signature.
5.2Incomplete notices may be returned with a request for the missing information.
6.Review and takedown
6.1Once a complete notice is received, Setlyst makes the content unavailable to the public within 2 business days and, where appropriate, removes it.
6.2Whoever added the content is told about the measure and its reasons, under article 20 of the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet, and receives the information needed to submit a counter-notice. The notifying party's contact details may be shared with the user when needed for the defence of rights.
7.Liability regime
7.1Copyright infringements are not subject to article 19 of the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet (article 19, § 2, and article 31 of Law 12,965/2014). Setlyst follows a notice and takedown procedure: once a complete notice is received (section 5), the indicated content is made unavailable to the public, by disabling the public link or blocking the item, within 2 business days, regardless of a court order, and the user is informed so that they may, if they wish, submit a counter-notice (section 8). For other unlawful content, the Civil Rights Framework for the Internet and its interpretation by the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court apply.
7.2Under article 21 of the same law, images or materials containing nudity or private sexual acts disclosed without the participants' authorisation are removed after notice from the affected person or their representative, regardless of a court order. The notice must allow the specific identification of the material and prove the standing of whoever submits it.
8.Counter-notice
8.1If you believe the content was removed by mistake or that you have the right to use it, you can send a counter-notice to suporte@setlyst.com.br within 30 days, including:
- your full name, username and e-mail address;
- identification of the removed content;
- the reasons why the use is legitimate (your own work, public domain, licence or the rights holder's authorisation), with documents where available;
- a statement, under penalty of law, that the information is true.
8.2If the counter-notice is well-founded, Setlyst may restore the content and will inform the notifying party, who may go to court. Any court order will be complied with.
9.Repeat infringers
9.1Accounts with 3 (three) upheld notices within 12 months have public sharing disabled for 90 days; from the 5th upheld notice within the same period, the account may be closed, with the opportunity to submit a counter-notice assured in each case.
10.Improper notices
10.1False notices, notices made in bad faith or notices intended to harm others may give rise to civil and criminal liability for whoever submits them.
