1. Purpose and Scope

November 8 Studios, LLC (“November 8 Studios,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including the Frayed podcast and our websites, social-media accounts, audio, video, written works, artwork, logos, and other media properties, provides this page as a centralized channel for reports concerning:

• unauthorized copying, distribution, display, performance, reposting, or other use of copyrighted material;

• fake, cloned, compromised, misleading, or impersonating accounts, profiles, pages, websites, advertisements, messages, or fundraising campaigns;

• uses of NOVEMBER 8 STUDIOS, FRAYED, associated logos, trade dress, or similar identifiers that may create confusion about source, sponsorship, affiliation, approval, or endorsement;

• unauthorized synthetic, altered, cloned, or AI-generated use of a person’s voice, likeness, identity, or performance;

• privacy, personal-data, doxxing, image-consent, security, or confidentiality concerns; and

• specific alleged factual errors in our published content.

Submitting a report does not guarantee removal, correction, payment, attribution, preservation, investigation, or any particular outcome. We evaluate reports in good faith under applicable law, contractual rights, editorial standards, platform rules, public-interest considerations, and available evidence.

2. General Reporting Requirements

To permit a meaningful review, provide the information below. Incomplete, vague, anonymous, duplicative, abusive, or unsupported submissions may be delayed, closed, or rejected.

Required information

What to provide

Reporter identity

Your full legal name, organization (if any), role or authority, mailing address, telephone number, and a monitored email address.

Exact location

The complete URL, platform name, username or handle, episode title and timestamp, post date, product listing, advertisement, or other precise location of the material.

Description

A clear explanation of what is wrong, what right or interest is affected, and the action requested.

Evidence

Screenshots, screen recordings, source files, registration information, publication dates, account records, correspondence, or other reliable documentation. Preserve original metadata where possible.

Authority

If reporting for another person or entity, identify the rights holder and provide written authorization or other proof that you may act for that party.

Good-faith certification

A statement that the information is accurate and that you have a good-faith basis for the report and requested action.

3. Copyright and DMCA Notices

For a claim that material hosted, posted, or controlled by November 8 Studios infringes copyright, send a written notice that substantially complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). The notice should include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner.

2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. For multiple works at one online site, a representative list may be used when legally sufficient.

3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, including exact URLs and, for audio or video, relevant timestamps.

4. Contact information reasonably sufficient to reach the complaining party, including address, telephone number, and email address.

5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

6. A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Fair use and other lawful uses. Before submitting a notice, consider whether the challenged use may be authorized by license, consent, fair use, public-domain status, statutory exception, or another legal doctrine. A takedown demand should not be used merely to suppress criticism, commentary, reporting, parody, or other lawful expression.

Misrepresentation. Knowingly and materially misrepresenting that material or activity is infringing may create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including for damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees where applicable.

Counter-notification. A person whose material was removed or disabled in response to a copyright notice may submit a counter-notification that substantially complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), including a signature; identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification; the person’s name, address, and telephone number; consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. federal district court; and acceptance of service of process from the original complainant or the complainant’s agent.

DMCA designation note: November 8 Studios accepts copyright notices at the contact listed above. This page does not represent that the company has completed a U.S. Copyright Office designation unless and until a current designation appears in the Copyright Office’s public DMCA Designated Agent Directory. Formal designation is a separate filing and renewal process.

4. Fake Accounts, Impersonation, and Fraud

Report any account, site, message, advertisement, fundraiser, job offer, invoice, sponsorship request, merchandise listing, or communication that falsely claims to be operated by, affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorized by November 8 Studios, Frayed, Bobbi Short, or an authorized representative.

• Provide the platform, account handle, profile URL, display name, contact information used by the impersonator, and screenshots showing the false representation.

• Identify any payment request, financial account, cryptocurrency address, donation link, phone number, email address, or private-message request associated with the activity.

• Do not send money, credentials, verification codes, identity documents, or sensitive information to a suspicious account.

• Also report the account directly to the relevant platform. Suspected fraud, extortion, theft, or identity crime should be reported to appropriate law enforcement and, where relevant, the Federal Trade Commission.

5. Trademark, Brand, and Source-Confusion Reports

A trademark report should identify the mark or brand claimed, the owner, registration or application number if applicable, the relevant goods or services, the challenged use, and why consumers are likely to be confused about source, sponsorship, affiliation, approval, or endorsement. Include examples of actual confusion if available.

A shared word, phrase, theme, color, title, or design element does not automatically establish infringement. Trademark rights are context-specific. We may consider similarity of the marks, relatedness of goods or services, channels of trade, strength of the claimed mark, evidence of confusion, nominative or descriptive use, parody, commentary, and other applicable factors.

6. Voice Cloning, Synthetic Media, Likeness, and Identity Misuse

Report audio, video, images, avatars, advertisements, calls, messages, or other media that use or imitate a person’s voice, likeness, name, identity, or performance without authorization, particularly where the use suggests a false endorsement, solicits money or information, impersonates a real person, is defamatory, invades privacy, or creates a material risk of deception or harm.

• Identify the real person and your relationship or authority to report for that person.

• Provide the exact location, a copy or recording where lawful, publication date, account identity, and why the material appears synthetic, altered, cloned, or unauthorized.

• State whether the content includes a disclosure that it is fictional, altered, parody, satire, dramatization, reenactment, or AI-generated.

• Describe the harm or likely deception, including any commercial use, fraudulent request, reputational injury, harassment, or safety concern.

We may preserve evidence, label content, restrict distribution, remove material, contact the uploader or platform, refer the matter to counsel or authorities, or take other proportionate action. Nothing in this policy restricts lawful news reporting, commentary, criticism, parody, satire, transformative use, or other protected expression.

7. Privacy, Personal Data, Doxxing, and Security Concerns

For privacy or personal-data concerns, use the subject line “PRIVACY REQUEST” and identify the specific information, where it appears, the person to whom it relates, and the requested action. Do not send unnecessary sensitive data. We may require reasonable identity and authority verification before acting.

• Access, correction, deletion, portability, or opt-out requests, to the extent provided by applicable privacy law and applicable to November 8 Studios.

• Claims that private contact information, financial information, government identifiers, medical information, intimate imagery, precise location, or other sensitive information was disclosed without authorization.

• Doxxing, stalking, harassment, threats, or publication of information creating a credible safety risk.

• A suspected compromise, unauthorized account access, data-security incident, or accidental disclosure involving information provided to us.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Some requests may be denied or limited where an exception applies, including protection of free expression, journalism, legal claims, security, fraud prevention, recordkeeping, compliance obligations, or the rights of others. Where applicable law provides an appeal right, instructions for appeal will be included with the decision.

Security warning: Do not email passwords, full Social Security numbers, complete payment-card numbers, medical records, or unredacted government identification unless specifically requested through a secure method.

8. Factual Error and Correction Requests

A correction request must identify a concrete, verifiable statement of fact—not merely a disagreement with opinion, analysis, characterization, editorial judgment, or a good-faith interpretation of disputed evidence.

• Quote the exact statement and identify the episode, article, post, page, publication date, and timestamp or paragraph.

• Explain precisely why the statement is inaccurate or materially misleading.

• Provide reliable, primary-source documentation where available, such as a court order, official record, transcript, agency document, authenticated communication, or direct evidence.

• State the specific correction requested and disclose any personal, professional, financial, litigation, or advocacy interest relevant to the request.

We may correct, clarify, update, annotate, retract, or decline to change content. A change may be made in the original content, an episode description, a correction log, a later episode, or another format appropriate to the significance and medium. We are not required to remove accurate public-record information merely because it is unfavorable, embarrassing, disputed, or later recast by an interested party.

9. Review Process and Possible Actions

• Acknowledge receipt when practicable and assign the report for review.

• Request additional information, verification, sworn statements, or supporting documents.

• Preserve relevant records and refer the matter to counsel, insurers, hosting providers, platforms, law enforcement, or other appropriate parties.

• Temporarily restrict access while investigating where warranted by legal, safety, or evidentiary concerns.

• Remove, disable, label, correct, clarify, restore, or leave material unchanged.

• Decline demands that are legally deficient, unsupported, overbroad, abusive, fraudulent, duplicative, or directed at lawful expression.

We may share a report and supporting materials with the person who posted the challenged content, the applicable platform, our service providers, insurers, legal advisers, law enforcement, courts, regulators, or others as reasonably necessary to evaluate, defend, enforce, or resolve the matter. Reports should not include information the sender expects us to keep confidential.

10. Preservation, No Waiver, and Reservation of Rights

Submitting a report does not create an attorney-client relationship, fiduciary duty, confidential relationship, agency relationship, settlement privilege, or contractual obligation. Receipt, acknowledgment, review, silence, delay, or voluntary action does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing, ownership, liability, jurisdiction, service of legal process, or waiver of any right, remedy, defense, privilege, immunity, limitation, or objection.

November 8 Studios reserves all rights to investigate suspected infringement, impersonation, fraud, unauthorized synthetic media, misuse of confidential information, interference with business relationships, or other unlawful conduct; issue platform complaints or legal demands; preserve and disclose evidence as permitted by law; and pursue injunctive relief, damages, fees, costs, or other remedies.

11. Abuse of the Reporting Process

Do not use this process to harass, intimidate, retaliate, suppress lawful criticism, obtain private information, create a false record, impersonate another person, or make knowingly false claims. We may reject abusive submissions, block repeat misuse, preserve evidence, notify affected parties or platforms, and refer suspected fraud, perjury, extortion, stalking, threats, or other unlawful conduct to counsel or authorities.

12. Legal Process and Formal Notices

This reporting address is not consent to service of process and is not a substitute for service required by statute, court rule, contract, subpoena, warrant, or other legal authority. Subpoenas, summonses, court orders, preservation demands, and other formal legal process must be served in the manner required by applicable law. Email alone does not constitute valid service unless November 8 Studios expressly agrees in a signed writing or applicable law provides otherwise.

13. Policy Administration

Effective date: July 18, 2026. November 8 Studios may revise this page prospectively. The version posted at www.november8studios.com controls from its stated effective date.
