5. Misuse Warnings
5.1 False Takedown Notices
Filing a false DMCA notice is perjury under U.S. law. Consequences include:
- Civil liability for damages
- Attorney's fees
- Potential criminal prosecution
- Account termination on Thirdrez
5.2 False Counter-Notices
Similarly, filing a false counter-notice:
- Constitutes perjury
- May result in civil liability

DMCA notices and counter-notices are legal documents filed under penalty of perjury. Consult an attorney if you're unsure about your rights.
6. Special Considerations
6.1 MotionPrint & Copyright
MotionPrint establishes provenance but does not grant copyright:
- A MotionPrint registration doesn't prove you own the copyright
- Original copyright always supersedes MotionPrint claims
- Registering copyrighted content you don't own is a violation

For content created with Kinetiq Engine:
- You generally own AI-generated outputs (subject to terms)
- Base training data remains our IP
- Disputes over AI authorship are handled case-by-case
6.3 User-Generated Marketplace Content
For marketplace submissions:
- Uploaders warrant they have rights to sell
- We're not liable for infringement by sellers
- We respond promptly to valid takedowns
