How to report copyrighted content (DMCA)

If you believe content on our platform infringes your copyright, you can report it to us by submitting a copyright infringement notice.

Please note: only the copyright owner or an authorized legal representative acting on their behalf can submit a valid DMCA takedown request. If you are not the copyright holder or an authorized representative, you may still report content that violates our Terms of Service, but you cannot submit a DMCA notice on behalf of someone else. Please notify the copyright owner os they can take action themselves.

For more information, please see our Notice and Take Down Policy.

Before submitting a copyright report

To process a DMCA takedown request, we need a complete copyright infringement notice containing all legally required information. This allows us to verify the claim and take appropriate action.

A valid DMCA notice should include:

  • Your contact information
  • Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed
  • Identification of the content you believe infringes your copyright, including enough information for us to locate it
  • A statement explaining that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the content is not authorized by the copyright owner, their agent, or the law
  • A statement confirming that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
  • Your physical or electronic signature
