Illegal Content Reporting (LCEN / DSA)

Last updated : 6 septembre 2026

IADEM respects intellectual property and the dignity of third parties. This policy describes the procedure for reporting content published on Scenby that you believe infringes your rights.

1. Principle

In accordance with article 6-I-5 of the French Law for Confidence in the Digital Economy (LCEN) and article 16 of the European Digital Services Act (DSA), Scenby provides rights holders and third parties with a procedure to report any allegedly illegal content.

2. What Can You Report?

  • Intellectual property infringement: content that reproduces, without authorization, a work protected by copyright, a registered trademark, or a design;
  • Right of publicity / image rights infringement: unauthorized use of your face, voice or identity;
  • Defamatory or abusive content;
  • Clearly illegal content: child sexual abuse material, glorification of terrorism, incitement to hatred, etc.

3. Reporting Procedure

To report content, send an email to contact@scenby.com with the subject "REPORT — [type of violation]" and the following information:

  1. Your identity (full name, capacity, contact details);
  2. The exact URL or identifier of the disputed content on Scenby;
  3. A precise description of the right or provision being violated;
  4. Evidence of your rights (e.g. INPI/USPTO trademark registration, copyright, assignment contract, ID for image rights);
  5. A sworn statement attesting to the truthfulness of your report, signed and dated.

Important notice: any abusive or clearly unfounded report may give rise to civil and criminal liability for its author (Article 6.I.4 of the French LCEN — up to one year of imprisonment and a €15,000 fine; equivalent perjury sanctions may apply in other jurisdictions).

4. Report Handling

IADEM undertakes to handle your report diligently:

  • Acknowledgement of receipt within 48 business hours;
  • Review and decision within 7 business days (24 hours for clearly illegal serious content);
  • Appropriate measures: removal of the content, suspension of the author's account, reporting to the competent authorities if necessary;
  • Notification of the content author about the report and the actions taken.

5. Counter-Notification

If you are the author of content that was removed following a report and you believe the removal was unjustified, you may file a counter-notification with contact@scenby.com including:

  • Your full identity and contact details;
  • Identification of the removed content;
  • A sworn statement that you believe the removal was made in error;
  • Your acceptance of the competent jurisdiction (French courts) for any dispute arising from this counter-notification.

6. Reporting to Authorities

For serious clearly illegal content (terrorism, child sexual abuse material, threats to state security), you can report directly to the French authorities (or your local equivalent):
