We do not claim ownership of any media assets. These assets are used strictly for identification and informational purposes to assist viewers in discovering broadcast schedules.
2. Fair Use & Fair Dealing Legal Basis
Our use of third-party media assets is protected under the following legal frameworks:
A. Pakistan: Copyright Ordinance, 1962 (Section 57)
Under Section 57 of the Copyright Ordinance, 1962, "Fair Dealing" with a literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work is permitted for the purposes of:
- Criticism or Review: Our platform serves as a review database for Pakistani dramas.
- Reporting of Current Events: We provide real-time scheduling news and broadcast updates.
B. International & Google Compliance: U.S. Copyright Act (Section 107)
In accordance with Google's content policies and international standards, our use constitutes "Fair Use" based on the following factors:
- Purpose and Character: Our use is transformative. We do not merely repost content; we aggregate fragmented data from multiple sources to create a unified, searchable timeline—a functional utility that individual channels do not provide.
- Nature of the Work: The data provided (broadcast times, cast lists) is factual and informational, which is generally afforded thinner copyright protection than creative fiction.
- Effect on Market: Our platform functions as a discovery engine that directs traffic back to the original broadcasters (TV and YouTube). We do not host video files, streams, or full episodes that would compete with the copyright holder's revenue.
3. Data Sources & Accuracy
- Cast & Crew Info: Sourced from public domain information, official credit reels, and verified social media profiles of the artists.
- Schedule Data: Aggregated from public YouTube Community posts, official channel websites, and on-air tickers.
4. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Compliance
We respect the intellectual property rights of all content creators. If you are an authorized representative of a rights holder and believe your content has been used in a way that infringes upon your rights, we will remove it immediately.
