DMCA

Welcome to Thăng Long IT's Copyright Hub!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another space here on Thăng Long IT. If you are reading this page, you are probably looking into how we handle intellectual property, or maybe you are just curious about the legal side of running a tech blog. I am Ngo Anh Vu, the founder and admin of this little corner of the internet. Most of the time, you see me sharing heavily customized Blogger templates like Lantro UI or dropping thousand-line JavaScript snippets for Cloudflare workers. We usually talk about coding, tech news, or even share personal diary entries about life, family, and the erratic Hanoi weather.

Today, I have to step away from the usual casual tutorials and talk about something serious. We need to have a heart-to-heart conversation about copyright, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and the specific legal frameworks we operate under here in Vietnam. I know, reading policy pages is usually as exciting as watching paint dry. People often skip these walls of text. I promise I will not bore you with generic, robotic legal jargon. Instead, I want to explain exactly why this page exists, share a few painful personal experiences that forced me to write it, and lay down the ground rules for how we share and protect content here in late October 2026.

The Pain of Stolen Content: A Personal Story

Before we dive into the decrees and legal frameworks, let me tell you a story. You guys know how much effort I put into my blog posts. As I mentioned in my recruitment post a while back, my core philosophy is creating content with human brainpower. I hate reading dry, soulless texts generated in ten seconds by some AI bot. I spend hours researching, structuring my thoughts, and pouring my real emotions into every single paragraph. When I code a new feature for a Blogspot theme, I stay up until 3 AM debugging CSS and testing it across different mobile screens.

Back in mid-2025, right after I launched a heavily modified version of a UI theme, I felt incredibly proud. I wrote a massive 3000-word tutorial explaining every single line of the new XML structure. A week later, a reader emailed me a link. I clicked it, and my heart just sank. Another website had completely ripped off my entire article. They did not just copy the code; they copied my personal anecdotes, my greetings, and even my signature at the bottom. They ran an automated RSS scraper that pulled my feed and published it on their WordPress site the second I hit the "Publish" button on Blogger.

To make matters worse, they placed heavy advertisements all over my hard work and started selling my free template modifications. I felt angry, violated, and honestly, a bit demotivated. I thought about quitting blogging altogether. Why spend days writing from the heart if someone is just going to steal it in a fraction of a second?

That incident taught me a harsh lesson. Passion and community spirit are great, but they are not enough to protect your work. You need a shield. You need to understand the law and enforce it. I spent the next few weeks learning everything I could about submitting DMCA takedown notices to Google, blocking scraper IPs using Cloudflare, and understanding my legal rights as a content creator in Vietnam. I fought back, filed the reports, and eventually got their stolen pages removed from Google Search. That battle is the exact reason this detailed policy page exists today.

Chính sách bản quyền (DMCA) & The Legal Landscape of 2026

We operate globally on the World Wide Web, which means we respect and adhere to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides a framework for addressing copyright infringement online. It allows content creators to send a formal request (a takedown notice) to search engines or hosting providers to remove stolen content.

However, Thăng Long IT is proudly based in Hanoi, Vietnam. Our operations, our servers, and our community are deeply tied to Vietnamese jurisdiction. Therefore, our copyright policy is not just based on international DMCA standards; it is strictly anchored in the domestic legal system. If you steal content from us, or if we need to resolve a dispute, we rely heavily on the Luật Sở hữu trí tuệ và các sửa đổi (Intellectual Property Law and its recent amendments).

The legal landscape has evolved rapidly over the last few years. The government has recognized how severe digital piracy has become. We strictly adhere to and enforce our rights under Nghị định 17/2023/NĐ-CP được sửa đổi bởi Nghị định 134/2026/NĐ-CP. This specific decree is an absolute game-changer for blog owners like me. It establishes clear guidelines for copyright protection in cyberspace, placing responsibilities on intermediaries and providing strict mechanisms to handle infringements. The 2026 amendment specifically tightened the loopholes that automatic RSS scrapers used to hide behind.

Furthermore, we look toward Nghị định 341/2025/NĐ-CP, which outlines the administrative penalties for intellectual property violations. This decree makes it abundantly clear that digital theft carries severe financial and administrative consequences. Let me be very clear: compliance with these specific laws is cần thiết về mặt quản trị bản quyền nếu website đăng tải, phân phối hoặc lưu trữ nội dung. You cannot just run a blog, host user-generated comments, or distribute code without having a firm administrative grip on copyright policies as mandated by these recent decrees.

Thăng Long IT's Core Copyright Rules

So, what does all this legal talk mean for you, the reader, the developer, or the fellow blogger visiting Thăng Long IT? I want to keep this as transparent and straightforward as possible.

1. What Belongs to Thăng Long IT

Everything you see on this domain (thanglongit.com) is the exclusive property of Thăng Long IT unless explicitly stated otherwise. This includes our original written articles, the unique HTML/CSS/JavaScript codes we develop, our custom Blogspot template modifications, graphic designs, and our personal diary entries. We hold the exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display this content under the Intellectual Property Law of Vietnam.

2. The "Fair Use" and Sharing Culture

I built this blog to share knowledge. The slogan "Website Chia Sẻ Thủ Thuật" literally translates to a website for sharing tricks and tips. I want you to learn from my code. I want you to apply my Cloudflare worker scripts to your own sites. You are highly encouraged to use the knowledge provided here.

If you want to quote a section of my article, or share a piece of code on your own blog, you absolutely can! But there is a strict condition: You must provide clear, visible attribution. This means you need to include a direct, clickable do-follow link back to the original article on Thăng Long IT. You cannot just write "Source: Internet". You must state "Source: Thăng Long IT" and link it.

3. What is Strictly Prohibited

You cross the line into copyright infringement when you do any of the following:

Mass Scraping: Using automated bots or RSS parsers to clone our articles onto your website. If I catch a site mirroring my content, I do not send warnings. I go straight to filing a DMCA complaint with Google and your hosting provider.
Commercial Exploitation: Taking the free templates or code snippets I share, removing my copyright credits in the footer, and selling them to others. That is a direct violation of our ethos and the law.
Plagiarism: Copying my personal stories, rewriting a few words, and claiming them as your own experiences. Writing is hard work. Write your own stories.

Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice to Us

I hold myself to the exact same high standards that I expect from others. Thăng Long IT is built on original, human-written content. However, we are a community. We occasionally feature guest writers, and we have an active comments section. Despite my rigorous moderation and strict anti-AI publishing rules, there is a tiny mathematical possibility that a user might post something in our comment section that infringes on your copyright.

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on Thăng Long IT in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please notify me immediately. As required by the DMCA and aligned with the intermediary responsibilities outlined in Nghị định 17/2023/NĐ-CP, we will take swift action.

To file a formal DMCA Takedown Notice, you must send an email to our designated copyright agent (me) at [email protected] (Please use our official contact form for priority routing). Your notice MUST include all of the following elements:

Physical or Electronic Signature: A signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Typing your full legal name at the bottom of the email suffices.
Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A detailed description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notification, provide a representative list.
Identification of the Material: The exact URL(s) on Thăng Long IT where the allegedly infringing material is located. I cannot search my entire site based on a vague description; I need the exact link.
Contact Information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit me to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and an email address.
Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
Statement of Accuracy: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Once I receive a valid, complete notice, I will investigate the claim within 48 hours. If the claim is legitimate, I will remove or disable access to the infringing material immediately. I do not play games when it comes to intellectual property.

The Counter-Notice Procedure

Sometimes, mistakes happen. Fair use is a complex legal doctrine. Someone might file a DMCA takedown notice against a piece of content on our site that actually qualifies as fair use, educational criticism, or parody. If you are a guest contributor or a commenter on Thăng Long IT, and your content gets removed due to a DMCA claim that you believe is false or mistaken, you have the right to file a Counter-Notice.

Your Counter-Notice must be a written communication sent to me that includes substantially the following:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that has been removed and the specific URL at which the material appeared before it was removed.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone number, along with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the relevant courts in Vietnam (or your local federal court if outside Vietnam), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notification.

If I receive a valid Counter-Notice, I will forward a copy of it to the original complaining party. If they do not notify me within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity, I will restore the removed material.

How We Actively Protect Our Content in 2026

Since that horrible scraping incident in 2025, I did not just sit around waiting for laws to protect me. I leveraged my coding skills to build proactive defenses. Remember the "Thăng Long IT Admin Tool" I introduced a few months ago? That tool runs on Cloudflare Workers and D1 SQL Database. It is not just for tracking page views.

I specifically programmed an advanced firewall and IP tracking system. If my system detects an abnormal spike in traffic from a specific server—which is usually a clear sign of an automated bot trying to scrape my XML sitemap or fetch my raw HTML bodies—the system automatically logs the IP, generates a threat report, and drops a temporary ban on that device. I can monitor this in real-time on my custom dashboard. If the scraping persists, I use the API integration to permanently blackhole that IP address at the DNS level.

We also implement dynamic JavaScript obfuscation to protect the core functionalities of the premium templates we showcase. I firmly believe in open-source learning, but I also believe in protecting the integrity of a developer's hard work. By combining strong technological defenses with the fierce legal backing of Nghị định 134/2026/NĐ-CP and Nghị định 341/2025/NĐ-CP, Thăng Long IT creates a secure ecosystem where genuine readers can learn freely, while malicious actors are kept firmly at the gates.

Final Thoughts

Running a blog in 2026 is infinitely more complex than it was when I first started tinkering with HTML in 7th grade back during the COVID lockdowns. The internet is filled with incredible opportunities to connect, learn, and grow. But it also has its dark corners filled with people looking to exploit the hard work of others.

This DMCA and Copyright Policy is my line in the sand. It ensures that Thăng Long IT remains a high-quality, trustworthy platform for everyone. I respect your rights, and I fiercely demand that you respect mine. Let us focus our energy on writing great code, sharing meaningful stories, and building a community we can all be proud of.
