Copyright and takedowns
How to have a component or library removed from Layro, and how to dispute a removal.
Draft, last changed Nov 3, 2026. Written in plain words to describe what Layro does; it's not legal advice. Questions: hello@layro.dev.
Layro hosts components published by their authors and copies of public libraries it indexes, credited to their authors under the library's own licence. If something here is yours and shouldn't be, this page explains how to have it removed.
If you own a library Layro indexed
The quickest way needs no notice. Write to hello@layro.dev with the library's name, or claim it on its page ("Is this yours?") and ask from there. We remove it, and a block stops it coming back. See Indexed libraries.
Sending a copyright notice
Email hello@layro.dev with:
- The work you say is being infringed.
- The Layro link of each component you want removed.
- Your name, address, phone number and email.
- A statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorised by the owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or may act for them.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
A false claim can make you liable for damages, so check the licence first: a permissive licence may already allow the copy, as long as it keeps the credit.
What happens next
- We look at every complete notice, usually within two working days.
- If it holds, the component is taken down: it leaves pages, the registry, agents and the CLI, and its recorded media is hidden.
- If the author has a Layro account, we email them the reason. Indexed authors without an account are never contacted.
- Copies already installed in people's projects are outside Layro's reach.
Counter-notice
If your component was removed by mistake, reply to the email or write to hello@layro.dev with the removed link, a statement under penalty of perjury that it was removed by mistake or misidentification, your name, address and phone number, your consent to the jurisdiction of a court in your area, and your signature. We pass it to the person who complained. The component can return unless they tell us they've gone to court.
Repeat infringement
Layro may suspend accounts that repeatedly publish other people's work without the right to.
