Copyright & Content Policy

This website does not store any music files and does not host copyrighted content. All audio and video are streamed directly through the official YouTube API. Our platform simply organizes publicly available YouTube content and presents it in an easy‑to‑use listening format.

How content is delivered

Rolyang is a discovery and organization platform, not a hosting service. When you play a track on Rolyang, the audio and video are served entirely by YouTube's own infrastructure through the YouTube IFrame Player API — the same technology used by millions of other websites and apps. We do not download, transcode, re-upload, or cache any audio or video content. No music files exist on our servers.

What we store

Rolyang only stores the following non-copyrighted information:

• Song and album titles, artist names, and release years
• YouTube video IDs — a short reference string that identifies which publicly available video to stream
• Descriptive metadata such as genre, region, and lyrics where contributed by users or artists
• User account information, listening history, and personal playlists

None of this constitutes the copyrighted work itself.

YouTube's role

All content accessible through Rolyang is publicly available on YouTube and is subject to YouTube's own Terms of Service and Copyright Policy. Rights holders who wish to restrict playback of their content may do so directly through YouTube's Content ID system — any such restrictions are automatically respected when content is streamed through the YouTube API.

Copyright takedown requests

If you are a rights holder and believe that specific content listed on Rolyang infringes your copyright, please contact us. We will promptly remove the listing upon receipt of a valid request. Note that because no audio or video is hosted on our servers, removing a listing from Rolyang does not affect the content's availability on YouTube itself.

Fair use & cultural purpose

Rolyang exists to help listeners discover Himalayan and Tibetan music — a tradition with a rich cultural heritage that is often underrepresented on mainstream platforms. We operate in good faith to support artists and their audiences, and we welcome direct contact from artists who wish to have their work featured, updated, or removed.
