2. About TRDB

The Retro Database (TRDB) is an index and database of retro television shows, games, and entertainment content. TRDB does not host, create, produce, or own any media content listed, linked to, or embedded on this website. We are an index of content that is publicly available on the internet from third-party hosting platforms and services such as YouTube, Archive.org, Dailymotion, Twitch, TikTok, and others.

3. Third-Party Content & Copyright Disclaimer

TRDB claims zero copyright over any content found on, linked to, or embedded into this website, with the sole exception of our own original branding materials (such as the TRDB site logo and original design elements).

All media content — including but not limited to television shows, films, clips, audio, images, and game footage — is the copyright of their respective owners, brands, studios, broadcasters, and rights holders. All rights are reserved by those respective copyright owners.

Content featured on TRDB comes exclusively from third-party services and providers. TRDB has no control over the files, streams, or media hosted on those third-party platforms.

4. How Content is Added

Content on TRDB is sourced in two ways:

• Automated indexing: An AI-based system automatically indexes publicly available content from the internet. This system does not include active monitoring or editorial review processes and does not evaluate the copyright status of content beyond confirming a valid HTTP response and the appropriate content type.
• User submissions: Registered users of the website may submit content links. Submissions are checked only for a valid HTTP 200 response and the correct content type (e.g. video or audio). We do not conduct further investigation into the copyright or ownership status of user-submitted content.
