Copyright and Takedown Policy

Last Updated: August 27, 2026

This page explains what Daily's games show of other people's work, why, and how to have something removed. It applies to Songless Unlimited, Bandle Unlimited and Framed Unlimited, and to anything else on Daily that shows a third-party work.

What the games show, and what they do not

Each game asks one question: can you identify this work? To ask it, the game shows a small excerpt and nothing more.

Songless Unlimited plays a short official preview clip of a recording. The clip is delivered by the music store that publishes it, under that store's terms, and Daily does not host, copy or cache the audio. The game only controls how much of the preview a player hears before guessing, starting at a tenth of a second.
Bandle Unlimited plays a short excerpt of a recording, at most thirty seconds, separated into its drum, bass, instrumental and vocal parts so that a player can build the song up one part at a time. No excerpt is offered whole, and no full recording exists on Daily.
Framed Unlimited shows a single still image from a film at a time, up to five per film, so that a player can identify the film. It shows no moving footage and no audio.

In every game the excerpt is the question. It is a small fraction of the work, it is not a substitute for the work, it is not offered for sale or download, and it is never available outside the game. Daily does not sell, license or claim ownership of any recording, composition, artwork or film. Cover art and titles are shown to identify the work and to link to where it can be bought or streamed in full.

Daily's position is that this is fair use under United States law and fair dealing under Canadian law: the use is for identification, commentary and play, it is transformative, it takes a small part of each work, and it does not compete with the market for the work. Daily also respects that a rights holder may see it differently, which is what the rest of this page is for.

Removing a work

If you own or control the rights to a work shown on Daily and want it removed, tell us. You do not need a lawyer and you do not need a formal notice: an email from an address at the rights holder's domain, naming the work and the game, is enough for us to act. We remove first and discuss afterwards.

Send it to [email protected], or use the report form, which every game links to. A removed work stays removed. It is not re-added when the catalog is rebuilt.

Formal notices

If you prefer to send a formal notice under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512) or the notice provisions of the Canadian Copyright Act, our designated agent for such notices is:

Daily, attention: Copyright Agent, [email protected]

A notice under the DMCA should include:

Identification of the copyrighted work you believe is infringed, or a representative list if the notice covers several works
Identification of the material you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it: the game, and the song, artist or film
Your name, address, telephone number and email address
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent or the law
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act for the rights holder
Your physical or electronic signature

We act on complete notices promptly, normally within one business day, by removing or disabling access to the material identified, and we confirm by email. Knowingly making a false claim of infringement can make you liable for damages under section 512(f) of the DMCA.

Counter-notices

If material was removed on a notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. It should include identification of the material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, your name, address and telephone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the United States, any district in which Daily may be found) and that you will accept service from the person who sent the notice, and your signature. We forward counter-notices to the original complainant and may restore the material after ten business days unless we are told that a court action has been filed.

Repeat infringers

Daily does not host material uploaded by users, so there is no user content to police. Should that change, Daily will terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.

Trademarks and other games

Daily is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any other game, studio, publisher, record label or company. Names such as "Songless", "Framed", "Bandle" and "Heardle" belong to their owners and appear on Daily only to identify a kind of game or to compare it with our own. Songless Unlimited, Framed Unlimited and Bandle Unlimited are Daily's own designs, code and copy, and are not ports, copies or official versions of anyone else's game.
