Copyright
Policy.
This Copyright Policy defines the relationship between contributors and ArticlePaid.com regarding intellectual property, content licensing, and the rigorous enforcement of original reporting.
01. Content Ownership
We believe in the sovereignty of the creator. At ArticlePaid, you remain the primary owner of the intelligence you produce.
Writers' Rights
You retain full ownership of your original articles and Q&A content published on our platform.
Platform License
You grant ArticlePaid a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, display, and monetize your content.
02. Originality Standards
As a premier freelance journalist website, we do not tolerate the unauthorized reproduction of work. Prohibited content includes:
- Plagiarized excerpts or "rewritten" articles from other domains.
- Media (images/video) used without proper licensing or creator attribution.
- Content generated by AI that lacks significant human editorial transformation.
🚫 Plagiarism Enforcement
Every submission undergoes forensic scanning for duplicate data and AI markers. Violation of these standards results in immediate account termination and the forfeiture of all pending freelance journalist salary earnings.
03. Infringement Reporting
If you identify your copyrighted work hosted on ArticlePaid without authorization, please refer to our DMCA Takedown Policy.
Formal notices must be directed to our legal compliance team at: dmca@articlepaid.com
04. Fair Use Doctrine
ArticlePaid acknowledges the "Fair Use" doctrine for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, and research. However, the burden of proof lies with the contributor. "Fair Use" is not a shield for low-effort content reproduction.
05. Violations & Penalties
Failure to comply with these standards will trigger the following enforcement actions:
- Permanent removal of infringing assets.
- Global ban from the ArticlePaid contributor network.
- Notification of infringement to relevant search engines and service providers.
