Hi,

my app was removed with this reason:  Alleged copyright infringement (according to the terms of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act).

My app is a list of free video url, a sort of bookmarks list that when the user click on it open a video player with that url.

So it just takes video url and loads it in a video player app.

I always used official free streams url, but an Italian company opened a DMCA practice against my app because I open their urls (that are free and public, www.rai.tv)

Is this a copyright infringement? I never streamed something, I always used official free and public streams and I interpreted my app as a list of public links. It is wrong?

I searched on wikipedia about DMCA and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act#Linking_to_infringing_content but I think this is not my case.

Cheers,

Giuseppe.
