For example, we typically require the licensors to represent in the licensing agreement that they have the legitimate right to license the content and require them to indemnify for losses arising from any claims of infringement or violation of laws and regulations. With respect to user-generated content, we also rely on the safe harbor provision for online storage service providers under PRC copyright laws and regulations, and we have adopted measures intended to minimize the likelihood that we may be held liable for copyright infringement as a result of distributing user-generated content on our platform. Such measures include (i) requiring users to acknowledge and agree that they will not upload or perform content which may infringe intellectual property rights; (ii) restricting users on our blacklists from uploading or distributing content; (iii) using best reasonable efforts to seek licenses from the relevant copyright owners once they are identified and verified and adopting contractual protections for works licensed from labels and other copyright owners; and (iv) implementing “notice and take-down” policies to be eligible for the safe harbor exemption for user-generated content.
