Any redistribution or reproduction of part or all of the contents in any form is prohibited other than the following:

  • You may print or download to a local hard disk extracts for your personal and non-commercial use only
  • You may copy the content to individual third parties for their personal use, but only if you acknowledge the website as the source of the material

You may not, except with our express written permission, distribute or commercially exploit the content. Nor may you transmit it or store it in any other website or other form of electronic retrieval system.

Copyright Complaint Steps

Mazecity requires DMCA notices to be filed via fax or letter. The complaint must include full contact information in the complaint (including phone number). We will call and verify. Email (unless digitally signed by a verified and trusted third party) is not an acceptable medium for legal complaints. This ticket system has received what appears to be a possible DMCA complaint, but one or more of the following are missing: (a) the complaint does not contain sufficient information (b) the format of the complaint is inconsistent with the requirements of the DMCA (c) the complaint has been submitted via email without proper authentication (d) full contact information is missing. We will need you to re-submit your claim, using the proper format, including sufficient details, via postal mail or fax. Instructions on how to do so follow.

It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. This response describes the information that should be present in these notices. It is designed to make submitting notices of alleged infringement to us as straightforward as possible while reducing the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to understand or verify. The form of notice specified below is consistent with the form suggested by the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov) but we will respond to notices of this form from other jurisdictions as well.

To file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a written communication that sets forth the items specified below. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following format (including section numbers):

  1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon or other information sufficient to specify the copyrighted work being infringed (for example, "The copyrighted work at issue is ?Intellectual Property: Valuation, Exploitation, and Infringement Damages? by Gordon V. Smith, published by Wiley, ISBN #047168323X").

  2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work listed in item #1 above. You must identify each web page that allegedly contains infringing material. This requires you to provide the URL for each allegedly infringing result, document, or item.
    An example:

    Infringing Web Pages:
    http://www.mazecity.net/directory/
    http://www.mazecity.net/something/blah.html

  3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you.

  4. Provide information, if possible, sufficient to permit us to notify the owner/administrator of the allegedly infringing webpage or other content (email address is preferred).

  5. Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."

  6. Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

  7. Sign the paper.

  8. If via  email, send the written communication to the following address: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Regardless of whether we may be liable for such infringement under local country law or United States law, we may respond to these notices by removing or disabling access to material claimed to infringe and/or terminating users of our services. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content so that the owner or administrator may make a counter notification.

We may also document notices of alleged infringement on which we act. As with all legal notices, a copy of the notice may be made available to the public and sent to one or more third parties who may make it available to the public.

In order to ensure that copyright owners do not wrongly insist on the removal of materials that actually do not infringe their copyrights, the safe harbor provisions require service providers to notify the subscribers if their materials have been removed and to provide them with an opportunity to send a written notice to the service provider stating that the material has been wrongly removed. [512(g)]

If a subscriber provides a proper "counter-notice" claiming that the material does not infringe copyrights, the service provider must then promptly notify the claiming party of the individual's objection. [512(g)(2)] If the copyright owner does not bring a lawsuit in district court within 14 days, the service provider is then required to restore the material to its location on its network. [512(g)(2)(C)]

If it is determined that the copyright holder misrepresented its claim regarding the infringing material, the copyright holder then becomes liable to the OSP for any damages that resulted from the improper removal of the material. [512(f)]

Anime Share/Exchange Protocol

Originally posted by shadownirvana in TO Forum & by shinobi21 in MC Forum

This is indeed the most important topic I'd ever know, well, at least in my opinion, and if it doesn't seem to you like that, then, believe me this is the biggest topic, yet- in our beloved forum. Anyway, we knew, we'd come to a day like this, and we were holding ourselves for that. And here we are.

It is our unstoppable urge that couldn't help making this topic and to show you in broad daylight this fast; what I'm telling is in Anime Shows section of our forum, users- shinobi21 and the missingNiN, and lastly our moderator- Jasmine pulled the topic of exchanging, selling and consuming anime series between users here. And, then, we, that is me and Shontrix conversed and decided to make this topic at last.

But, before telling you that, I have a story to tell you guys, if it bores you, but, I don't think that'll bore you as I'm totally sure that no anime fan can be bored by story telling anyway, please try to listen to the story carefully as this story might behold greater meaning than it seems in open eyes.

Me and Shontrix met in the net, I had sent 5 mails to subcontinental anime fans, to their email addresses taken from some Animax fan site, and the next day, I got mail from Shontrix, and the day after that I got mail from MX, I had only 10 anime series titles at that moment and I phoned MX, I told him- "Please, please, give me all the anime you have, I don't have anything to give you, but, I'd give anything to you", then, MX, the coolest geek in any block I'd ever know (Not I'm flattering, you'd know what I'm telling when you'd meet that guy), he said- "Yosh! I'll give everything I've, no comment?". I really didn't have any comment, I was there on the other side of phone set, and, I'd never tell you, what I did that time. Me and Shontrix gathered around MX like honey-seeking bees, and we have only one thing we'd want from him- ANIME!! and nothing else! But, that didn't last long, friendship is such a bizarre feeling, and like a gaping hole- the more you wanna run from it, the bigger it'll get to swallow you (Max Payne dialogs, don't mind, my most favorite one!), and we're swallowed! Shontrix, me and MX, we were altogether and yet it's going on, and Shontrix has made this site (TeamOtaku) and all, we're not attracting to each other not only for anime, but also for something that anime always intends to show us- friendship!
And, that ends my story, we were first leechers, but, not anymore, we're friends and sharing our dreams together, that is.

We've made rules for exchanging, giving or taking anime for our members, and consumers, and enthusiasts. So, at first I should tell you that these rules are to be obeyed strictly by all users from now on, and we really hope that you'd do that! Don't make any inconvenient and problematic situation so that we can't get along good.

Rules are here-

1) No money, taka, kane or any currency can be used for exchanging or giving or taking anime, the systems for exchanging anime are as follows-

a. You can exchange anime with another user by Episodes=Episodes system, or, Title=Title system, in any of the given way- you feel comfortable with. Example is- a user can exchange a series with another user by episode count, as one can give a 13 episodes series and get another 13 episodes series. Or, one can exchange a 13 episodes series with a 26 or 52 or whatever episode series if both of the exchangers are okay with that.

b. You can exchange anime by quantity or negotiation only, don't ask or bargain for quality or anything, as that spoils the solemnity anime beholds.

c. One who can't provide any anime, can get anime by providing any treat or help to the provider, and it must not include money in any way. The consumer can treat the provider a dinner or anything, or some other way you can think of, or the consumer can help the provider in any ways- the consumer is capable of.



    2) The total exchange can only be done through Hard Disk Drive data copying or via DVD or CD writing. In case of burning/writing CDs or DVDs, the provider can only ask for the price of DVDs or CDs, that's 20/- to 40/- for both DVDs and CDs. No extra charge for burning, or downloading can be claimed by the provider.

    3) The teamOtaku will try to look through every exchange that will be made here, but, even so, please, try to be honest and abide by the rules here, as we all believe anime fans are honest and responsible, and for that reason- they are clinging to anime even in this age.


teamOtaku reserves all the right to edit or change any of the rules here, all member will be notified if that happens.

That's it, put your lists for show with the information of the anime title, episode it contains, format you have, and any info needed for the exchange to be smooth as much as possible, so that our users can contact you via PM or cell phones and exchange can take place to their heart's content.


Here's one example, if you didn't get the full idea-
Me, while browsing over this forum came to know that, one user here, that is shinobi21 had some anime that I, as well as teamOtaku didn't, so, I sent the member a PM, asking if he is alright with the rules and all. Next day, he PMed me back, telling he is really eager to do the exchange, and believe me, that thing we did after, wasn't any exchange in any way, we just took hell load of anime from shinobi21, hoping one day, we'd give him the anime he wants from us.
shinobi21 and I exchanged our cell numbers. Then, I talk to shinobi21, and heard shinobi21's address, and went there to collect the anime I want. Before that, I told shinobi21 to send the total anime list shinobi21 has, and I selected what anime I'd need from shinobi21. And thus, the total procedure was done safely!

Well, that's it. Members, you can start exchanging anime here by starting giving your full anime list here. And, your cell numbers or contact addresses, if you want.

Also you can post your List here too: Sport Your Anime Collection

  • The people who've come here (i.e. MazeCity, teamOtaku) to share anime are doing so (ideally) for the sake of sharing, for the sake of discovering new anime and for the sake of making friends.
  • If anyone, as part of this forum, feels that another member is taking unfair advantage by asking for an unreasonable exchange and one that you can't *feasibly* agree to, then you have every right to report them. We're not trying to eavesdrop on or monitor every exchange since we want to think that you guys are doing what's best for both parties, i.e., sticking to the teamOtaku/MazeCity beliefs.
  • If anyone wishes to turn their anime sharing into a business venture, then please take your wares elsewhere. Leave the members of the forum out of this because they haven't come here to put up with such behaviour.
  • The rules are pretty lax as you can see. Yeah they mention an episode:episode or a title:title ratio but also say you're free to choose the amounts provided both of you are happy about it. If both of you are happy, then we're happy and that's the end of that little event. It would therefore be rather poor behaviour if one of you turned around later and said "Oh, I gave you more that time... and I want something in return now". Please, please refrain from that behaviour. If things work out all peachy you'll start off with an exchange and end gaining something better: friendship. Then it's no longer about what you share or how much... and it becomes a gift that keeps giving. That, I think, is what the founders of tO would like it to be.
  • If those doing the giving and uploading and what-not think they're "doing a favour", then I suggest they stop and pack up. Sharing isn't a favour that one owes. Plus, there's the hidden bonus in that your anime is safe somewhere else and you have every right to get a copy of the copy you gave out, should anything happen to yours ;)
  • Similarly to those getting the anime from sharers, they need to keep up their end of the bargain. They should be able to negotiate politely and reasonably. You should make every effort to honour the art of sharing and do your bit, however big or small, to complete the circle. Can't offer anime? What about movies? Got videogames? So on.

History

How it happened!


This is how it all happened; back in 2006 four Anime lovers from different walks of life were brought together by fate, how they were brought together is equally complicated and a story for another day. Back in those days (Pre-animax era) very few watched or even knew about this genre. Sharing this connection, before they knew it they became best of friends and even more, we even had our very own place to meet and on rare occasion it was possible for all four of us to get together under same roof and watch an Anime flick while munching on cyclone burgers. Very soon we began to operate as a team and one day we decided to name our group ‘Team Otaku’ since Team is a group of people linked in a common purpose and we acted and bonded like one while helping each other out  by sharing, collecting, allocating downloads. Back then we were hyped with the word Otaku and used to think it simply meant ‘Anime lovers’ in English which was us so that’s how Team Otaku came to be. Then one day, shuvra suggested we go international, while we were lucky to have each other united by fate, there maybe others like us who still thinks that he/she is the only one who watches Anime in the BD and it would be our job to reach out to them and let them know that they are not alone. With my little webpage designing skills, we put together a site and forum and advertising them on various social networks soon the forum began to gain momentum, we and the others discovered that there were more than a few Anime fans in BD as our board reached over 39000+ posts. In the forum it was decided that we have a real meeting so that we can get to know each other better and have a real outing/discussions among Anime fans, so various meeting were held at place like Rifles Square, A&W, Star Kabab, Pizza Hut, American Burger, Boomers etc.

 

How did Team Otaku became Mazecity?

Team Otaku used to be on a free forum which used to have huge downtime, lacked features and had horrible support so we decided to buy our own server since we grew a lot as community. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the database of our old forum so we had to start the new forum from scratch. Since the forum was new, so was the site and name we decided to adopt a new name since many people had long-term complains with term ‘Otaku’ (wiki) especially shinobi21 and many others voiced an strong opinion against it and rightfully so, as in Japanese context Otaku was literally slang and degretory term synonymous to freak, something which we were not and the Japanese version of the name was not considered while naming in the first place. So after brainstorming and polls of suggestion the community name was decided to be ‘Mazecity’ which is how you know it now.

Welcome to V.4

Greetings loved ones, let’s take a journey, journey through Mazecity v.4. We decided to welcome the New Year with a new website. Here are some changes that were made in this new version.

  • Faster loading times: (The site and forum are no longer integrated so calls to the DB is reduced and hence the load).
  • No Downloads:(While we offered DDL in the past we ran into some problems with the authority as well as the host, which is why we are discontinuing it… also it is easier to share anime directly than upload :P).
  • No Online Manga Reader: (It was a pain to keep the reader up to date with latest chapters while they are site dedicated to that throughout the web like mangashare.com).
  • No Adds: (Some adds are ugly while the other eats your bandwidth, so we decided to keep the site free from adds for the time being).
  • Meeting Reviews: (We decided to focus more on us than others things so from now on detail meeting reviews will be recorded on site for memorial/historical purposes).
  • New Forum Layout: (A new forum layout has been added, tweaked and cleaned to make it faster than ever also many unnecessary mods have been removed)

In short the site will now act more like an information portal dedicated to the activities of Mazecity /team Otaku and Bangladesh Anime scene rather than serve contents such as Medias. You can always request in the forum should you have any trouble finding links to particular movies, music, wallpaper etc.{jcomments off}

Who the hell do you think, we are! - Kamina!
