Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last updated: 20 April 2026

PianoQuest respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in line with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the US and corresponding UK/EU laws.

Our approach to copyright

PianoQuest's teaching material is drawn from:

• Public-domain works — classical pieces, traditional folk songs, and other compositions no longer under copyright
• Chord symbols — chord progressions for popular songs (chord symbols such as "Cm7" or "G7" are not copyrightable subject-matter on their own)
• Original content — our own exercises, lesson material, and UI

We do not knowingly host note-level transcriptions of copyrighted melodies, copyrighted lyrics, or unlicensed artist imagery.
