We’re Not Lawyers: This policy is meant to comply with the DMCA and isn’t legal advice. If you’re unsure about your rights, consider consulting a lawyer.
Emojis and Copyright: Many emojis are based on Unicode standards or public domain designs, which may not be subject to copyright. However, we’ll still review all claims carefully.
