We Are a Search Engine, Not a Host
This platform acts as a spiritual catalog and directory (similar to Google or Spotify indexing). We do NOT host, upload, pirate, or own any audio or video MP3/MP4 files on our servers.All media played on this website is dynamically pulled from the official public YouTube Data API.
Revenue Belongs to Zemarians
When you listen to a Mezmur on this platform, the underlying audio is playing directly from the original YouTube link. This means every listener on our app counts as a view on the Zemari's YouTube channel, and any YouTube advertisements or monetization revenue generated goes 100% to the original creator. We do not intercept this revenue.
No Impersonation
We are an independent, community-driven project dedicated to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. We are not officially affiliated with, nor do we claim to represent or impersonate any Diocese, Sunday School, or individual Zemari.
