Last Updated: August 15, 2026
TachiyomiDownload.com respects the intellectual property rights of copyright holders and expects users, contributors, advertisers, and third-party partners to do the same.
This DMCA / Copyright Policy explains how copyright owners can contact TachiyomiDownload.com if they believe that material published on the website infringes their copyright.
TachiyomiDownload.com is an independent informational website. It is not the official Tachiyomi project, is not operated by the original Tachiyomi developers, and does not claim ownership of third-party software, manga, artwork, trademarks, repositories, or other copyrighted material belonging to their respective owners.
1. Our Approach to Copyright
We take copyright concerns seriously.
Our website may discuss software, applications, repositories, extensions, manga-reading technology, project history, and related resources.
Discussing or identifying third-party software does not mean that TachiyomiDownload.com claims ownership of that software.
Likewise, mentioning a manga title, publisher, author, application, repository, or website does not transfer ownership of that material to us.
Copyright remains with the applicable copyright holder.
If you believe that material published on TachiyomiDownload.com infringes your copyright, you can contact us using the process described below.
2. What This Policy Covers
This policy applies to copyright complaints involving material that appears directly on TachiyomiDownload.com.
Potential examples may include:
- Original written content
- Images
- Graphics
- Screenshots
- Downloadable files
- PDF documents
- Logos
- Videos
- Other copyrighted material
This policy does not mean that we control content hosted on external websites.
If the material you are concerned about is hosted on another website, repository, file host, advertising platform, or third-party application, you may need to contact the operator of that service directly.
3. TachiyomiDownload.com and Third-Party Content
TachiyomiDownload.com may link to or discuss third-party resources.
These can include:
- Software repositories
- Developer websites
- Archived project pages
- Documentation
- Extension repositories
- Community projects
- Alternative applications
- External download locations
A link to an external resource does not mean that TachiyomiDownload.com owns or hosts the material at the destination.
If your complaint concerns content located entirely on an external website, please identify the exact material and URL so we can determine whether the material is actually hosted on our website or merely referenced by it.
4. Copyright Complaints
If you are a copyright owner or an authorized representative and believe that material on TachiyomiDownload.com infringes your copyright, please send a written copyright complaint to:
Email: [DMCA EMAIL]
You may use the same address as your general contact email if you do not maintain a separate copyright address.
Your complaint should contain enough information for us to identify the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing material.
5. Information to Include in a Copyright Notice
To help us process a copyright complaint, please provide the following information where applicable:
Identification of the Copyrighted Work
Clearly identify the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed.
For example:
- Title
- Author
- Publisher
- Copyright owner
- Registration information, if applicable
- Original publication URL
- Other information that establishes your ownership or authorization
If multiple works are involved, provide a representative list where appropriate.
Identification of the Allegedly Infringing Material
Provide the exact URL or location on TachiyomiDownload.com where the allegedly infringing material appears.
If possible, include:
- Page URL
- File URL
- Image URL
- Article title
- Description of the material
- Approximate location on the page
A general statement such as “your website contains my content” may not provide enough information for us to locate the material.
6. Contact Information
A copyright complaint should include contact information that allows us to communicate with the complainant.
This may include:
- Full name
- Organization, if applicable
- Email address
- Mailing address, where appropriate
- Telephone number, where appropriate
If you are submitting the complaint on behalf of a copyright owner, identify your relationship to the copyright owner.
7. Statement of Good Faith
A copyright complaint should include a statement confirming that the complainant has a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
For example:
I have a good-faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material identified in this notice is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
The statement should be accurate and made in good faith.
8. Statement of Accuracy and Authority
If submitting a formal copyright notice, the complainant should confirm that the information provided is accurate and that they are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner where applicable.
For example:
I declare that the information in this notice is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
False copyright claims can cause legitimate content to be removed and may have legal consequences.
9. Signature
A copyright complaint should include the physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized representative.
An electronic signature or other legally appropriate identification may be sufficient depending on the applicable legal framework.
10. What Happens After We Receive a Complaint
When we receive a copyright complaint, we may review the information provided to determine whether the complaint identifies material hosted on TachiyomiDownload.com and whether further action is appropriate.
Depending on the circumstances, we may:
- Remove the material
- Temporarily disable access
- Request additional information
- Contact the relevant contributor
- Correct attribution
- Replace the material
- Remove an image
- Remove a downloadable file
- Remove or modify a page
- Decline the request where it does not establish a copyright issue
Submitting a complaint does not automatically guarantee removal.
We may need additional information before taking action.
11. Good-Faith Review
We do not intend to remove legitimate material solely because a complaint has been submitted.
Copyright law contains exceptions and limitations that can vary by jurisdiction.
Certain uses may potentially involve:
- Commentary
- Criticism
- Research
- Education
- News reporting
- Quotation
- Fair use
- Fair dealing
- Other applicable legal exceptions
The existence of a copyright complaint does not automatically establish infringement.
We may consider the information available to us when determining how to respond.
For complex legal disputes, the parties involved may need to seek advice from qualified legal professionals.
12. Images and Screenshots
TachiyomiDownload.com may occasionally use screenshots or other visual material to explain software features, interfaces, tutorials, or historical information.
If you believe that an image or screenshot infringes your copyright, identify the exact image and page URL in your complaint.
Where appropriate, we may remove or replace the material while reviewing the issue.
We do not claim ownership of third-party application interfaces merely because they appear in an explanatory screenshot.
13. Logos and Trademarks
Copyright and trademark rights are different legal concepts.
TachiyomiDownload.com may mention or display names and logos belonging to third-party projects for identification, commentary, comparison, or informational purposes.
We do not claim ownership of third-party trademarks.
If you believe that a trademark or logo is being used in a misleading way, contact us with the specific page and explain the concern.
Trademark complaints may require a different review process from copyright complaints.
14. Software and APK Files
TachiyomiDownload.com may discuss APK files, application versions, repositories, or software releases.
We do not automatically claim ownership of third-party software simply because an article discusses or links to it.
If a copyrighted software file is hosted directly on TachiyomiDownload.com and you are the copyright owner or authorized representative, identify:
- Software name
- Version
- Exact file URL
- Copyright owner
- Proof or explanation of ownership
- Reason you believe the distribution is unauthorized
This information helps us determine whether the file is actually hosted by us or whether the page only links to an external source.
15. External Download Sources
Some pages may reference third-party download locations.
If the file is hosted entirely on an external service, removing a link from TachiyomiDownload.com may not remove the underlying file from the internet.
In such circumstances, the copyright owner should also contact the relevant hosting provider, repository, file host, or website operator.
We may still review whether our page should continue linking to the resource.
16. Manga and Other Copyrighted Works
Tachiyomi historically interacted with external content sources through extensions.
TachiyomiDownload.com does not claim ownership of manga, comics, novels, artwork, or other copyrighted works simply because those works are discussed in an article.
If you believe that copyrighted material is being hosted directly on our website, identify the exact material and location.
If the material is hosted by a third-party source, the copyright owner should generally contact that source directly as well.
Users are responsible for complying with applicable copyright laws when accessing third-party content.
17. Repeat Infringers
Where appropriate and technically possible, TachiyomiDownload.com may take reasonable action against accounts, contributors, or other users who repeatedly submit material that is found to infringe copyright.
Possible action may include:
- Removing submitted material
- Restricting submissions
- Blocking accounts
- Removing access to certain website functions
- Taking other reasonable measures
The specific action will depend on the circumstances.
18. False or Abusive Copyright Notices
Copyright complaint systems should not be used to remove lawful criticism, reviews, comparisons, historical information, or other legitimate content merely because the copyright owner dislikes the content.
We may request additional information where a complaint appears incomplete, inaccurate, abusive, or unrelated to copyright.
We reserve the right to decline requests that do not provide enough information to identify a genuine copyright issue.
19. Counter-Notification
If material has been removed following a copyright complaint and you believe the removal was incorrect, you may contact us with an explanation of why you believe the material should be restored.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we may consider a counter-notification or other appropriate response.
A counter-notification should identify:
- The removed material
- The original location
- Why you believe the removal was incorrect
- Your contact information
- Any supporting evidence
Formal counter-notification procedures may have specific legal requirements.
If you are involved in a significant copyright dispute, consider obtaining independent legal advice.
20. Restoration of Content
Content that has been removed because of a copyright complaint may not automatically be restored.
We may consider restoration when:
- The original complaint is withdrawn
- The copyright owner confirms authorization
- The material is determined not to infringe
- Additional evidence changes the assessment
- A valid counter-notification is received
- Applicable law requires restoration
The decision may depend on the facts and applicable legal requirements.
21. Copyright Ownership of Our Content
Unless otherwise stated, original written material created specifically for TachiyomiDownload.com is intended to remain protected by applicable copyright law.
This does not include third-party trademarks, software, screenshots, quotations, or other material that belongs to their respective owners.
Unauthorized copying of substantial portions of our original articles may violate applicable copyright laws.
If you would like permission to reproduce substantial portions of our original content, contact us before doing so.
22. Attribution
Where appropriate, TachiyomiDownload.com may identify the source or owner of third-party material.
Attribution alone does not necessarily create permission to use copyrighted material.
If you own material appearing on our website and believe attribution is incorrect or insufficient, contact us with the relevant information.
We may review the attribution and make corrections where appropriate.
23. Publicly Available Material
The fact that material is publicly available on the internet does not mean that it is free of copyright restrictions.
We do not assume that a file, image, article, screenshot, or other material is free to reproduce simply because it can be accessed online.
When using third-party material, we aim to consider the source, purpose, relevance, permissions, and applicable copyright limitations.
24. Copyright Policy for User Submissions
If TachiyomiDownload.com allows users to submit comments, corrections, images, articles, or other material, users should only submit material that they have the right to provide.
Users should not upload or submit copyrighted material without appropriate authorization.
By submitting material, users should not assume that TachiyomiDownload.com will automatically publish it.
We may review, edit, reject, or remove submissions according to applicable policies.
25. Third-Party Services
Some content or functionality may be provided by third-party services.
Examples can include:
- Embedded videos
- External repositories
- Images hosted elsewhere
- Advertising networks
- Social media platforms
- Software repositories
- Analytics systems
A copyright complaint concerning content controlled by a third party may need to be submitted to that third party.
We can review our own page when appropriate, but we cannot remove material from a website that we do not control.
26. DMCA Designated Agent
If TachiyomiDownload.com formally establishes a designated DMCA agent for receiving notices under applicable United States law, the relevant contact details will be published here.
DMCA Contact: [DMCA EMAIL]

Response times can vary depending on:
- Complexity of the complaint
- Amount of material involved
- Availability of supporting evidence
- Need for additional information
- Third-party involvement
- Legal requirements
Submitting multiple duplicate complaints does not necessarily accelerate the review process.
