123movies respects the intellectual property rights of others. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), we respond promptly to valid notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws.
Nature of the Platform
123movies is a content aggregator. We do not host, upload, or store any video content on our servers. All movies and series available on this site are embedded from publicly available third-party websites. These embeds function exactly as they do when inserted into any personal blog, news outlet, or video review site.
Visitors to our platform are only provided access to content hosted elsewhere, through embed code technology, which is standard practice across the modern web.
Compliance with the DMCA
иonline service providers are protected from liability for content posted or hosted by third parties, provided they:
-
Are unaware of the infringing material,
-
Remove or disable access to the material once properly notified.
As we do not host any infringing material ourselves, we are not in violation of DMCA provisions. However, we remain committed to cooperating with rights holders and will take appropriate action when valid legal complaints are received.
Submitting a Takedown Request
If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and believe that an embedded video on our platform violates your copyright, you must submit a formal DMCA notice. Your request must include the following:
-
A clear identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
-
A direct URL to the specific 123movies page where the embed is located (not a general title or search result).
-
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder.
-
Legal proof of copyright ownership, such as U.S. Copyright Office registration or a contract establishing exclusive rights.
-
Your full legal name, physical mailing address, email, and a telephone number.
-
Your signature, physical or electronic.
Notices lacking any of the above information will not be processed.
Submit your DMCA notice to:
Email: [email protected]
Mail: Legal Department, MovieStream Solutions LLC, 350 Fifth Avenue, 59th Floor New York, NY 10118, USA
We will review each submission and, if valid, remove the embedded content or disable access within 24 to 72 hours.
Counter Notification
If you believe content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you have the right to file a counter-notice in accordance with Section 512(g) of the DMCA. Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we may restore the content unless the original complainant seeks a court order.
Instructions for submitting a counter-notification are available upon request by contacting: [email protected].
External Hosting and Limitations
Please be aware: since all video files are hosted by third-party sites (e.g., YouTube, Vidstream, Doodstream, etc.), we cannot delete or disable the actual video file. If your goal is to remove the content from the internet entirely, you must contact the host platform directly.
We do not manage, alter, or control the functionality or content of these third-party services.
Abuse and False Complaints
Any attempt to abuse the DMCA process—including sending fraudulent, misleading, or unauthorized complaints—will be taken seriously. All such actions are documented and may be submitted to legal authorities for further investigation.
We fully support the protection of intellectual property, but also value the rights of internet users, independent creators, and fair-use advocates.
