What Legal Rights Do OnlyFans Creators Have?

Though this may seem boring, understanding the legal protections for your content is essential. Copyright law grants you rights to any original work you create - photos, videos, or text on OnlyFans - from the moment it’s produced.

You own three main rights:

• Reproduction - you decide who can copy it
• Distribution - you control how it’s shared or sold
• Public display - you choose where it’s shown publicly

Unauthorized sharing of your OnlyFans content infringes upon your rights, giving you legal grounds to seek removal. If you’re active in OnlyFans communities, you’ve likely heard of the DMCA. Let’s explore how you can use it to remove leaked material.

How to Use DMCA to Remove Leaked Content

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S. law that helps creators like you prevent unauthorized use of your copyrighted material. It allows you to request the removal of leaked OnlyFans content from websites hosting it without your consent.

Simply put, the DMCA allows you to send a notice to websites hosting your content without permission, requiring them to take it down. Don’t worry - we’ve got this process covered for you. If you’re interested in the details, feel free to learn more about the DMCA at the U.S. Copyright Office.

While the DMCA is a powerful tool, enforcing it can often be challenging and requires experience to ensure effective results.

How Do I Stop My OnlyFans From Getting Leaked?

OnlyFans Watermarking with Honey Trapping

Adding a unique, hidden watermark for each subscriber can help track the source of leaks. This is called “honey trapping” - each subscriber gets a unique watermark, so if your content leaks, you know exactly who did it.

How to Enable DRM in OnlyFans

Digital Rights Management (DRM) helps protect your content from unauthorized distribution. Here’s how to enable DRM on OnlyFans:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Select Privacy and safety.
3. Scroll to the bottom and “Enable DRM Video Protection”.

While OnlyFans uses DRM to prevent downloads and screenshots, consider additional measures like limiting screen recording through video overlays or using platforms that offer enhanced DRM features.

Use Geoblocking to Hide from People You Know

OnlyFans lets you block specific countries or regions - useful if you’re worried about family, coworkers, or exes finding your page.

Regularly Monitor for Leaks

Periodically search for your content online using reverse image search tools like Google Images. Early detection allows for quicker action. You can also use tools like Chili Radar to preview any leaked content and monitor its spread over time.

Adding a Copyright Disclaimer to Your OnlyFans Profile

Adding a copyright warning to your bio won’t stop determined leakers, but it does scare off casual ones. Keep it short and direct:

All content is owned by me. Unauthorized use is prohibited. Enforced by copyrightshark.com

How Do I Deal With Chargebacks and Scammers?

Chargebacks and refund requests can be frustrating, especially as they often come from users who may also leak or scrape your content. While there’s limited action you can take directly, communities often share advice on spotting typical scam behavior - such as unusual requests or high payment amounts that don’t align with the content offered.

If a fan requests a refund, listen to their concern. Politely explain OnlyFans’ no-refund policy, and if there’s a genuine issue, consider contacting OnlyFans support for assistance.

OnlyFans monitors accounts with frequent chargebacks, and repeat offenders may have their accounts suspended. Observing patterns in unusual requests can help you anticipate and avoid scammers where possible.

You can also check accounts before engaging using free tools like CopyrightShark’s Risk Registry - a community-driven database where creators report and lookup suspicious accounts.

How Do I Remove My Leaked Content From Google?

Getting your content taken down from individual websites is important, but it’s only part of the battle. Leaks can resurface if you don’t tackle the root cause. Leakers often use hidden channels like the dark web, messaging apps like Telegram and Session, and file-hosting sites to share your content.

Google Removal Requests

Google lets you request the removal of specific URLs from their search results. You can do this by visiting the Google DMCA Removal Page and filling out the form. Note that even after content is removed from a website, cached versions may still appear in search engine results.

How to Remove Content from Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo & Social Platforms

Here’s where to submit DMCA takedowns for major platforms:

Contacting the Hosting Provider

Websites may ignore DMCA requests, especially if they operate outside of countries with strong copyright enforcement. For example, domains such as .su (Soviet Union), .to (Tonga), and .so (Somalia) often host content without complying with DMCA takedown requests. You can try using a WHOIS lookup service to identify the website’s hosting provider and send a DMCA notice directly to them. In some cases, the host may take down the entire site if it violates their terms. However, successfully navigating this process often requires experience and established communication channels with hosting providers - resources we have at CopyrightShark. Also, be aware that leakers frequently switch domains, meaning persistent monitoring is necessary to catch recurring leaks.

Seeking Legal Assistance

If nothing else works, consider consulting an attorney who specializes in intellectual property law. They can advise you on potential legal actions, including lawsuits for damages, though this route can be costly.

Combating leaks requires ongoing effort, as leakers often change domains and re-upload content. For effective protection, services like CopyrightShark can help by addressing leaks at the source and providing continuous monitoring.

Counter Notices

Counter Notice is your next step if the other side challenges your DMCA takedown for leaked OnlyFans content. In the US, you rely on DMCA rules. In the EU, you can use the Digital Services Act or local copyright laws.

When you request deindexing on Google, they typically send a message like this:

We will reinstate the content in question in 10 business days unless you file a legal action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringement. Alternatively, you may have access to an out-of-court dispute resolution process.

This means your content might return if you don’t act.

If you receive a counter notice, review it carefully to see if the other side misunderstood your rights. Some platforms offer a simple appeal or mediation option to challenge the notice. If you’re still confused about your next move, consider talking to a lawyer experienced in DMCA cases.

Sample DMCA Takedown Notice

If you find your content on a website without permission, start by checking if the site has a DMCA takedown request form. A quick Google search with the website’s name and “DMCA” or “copyright” (e.g., “TikTok DMCA”) can help locate it. For example, TikTok provides a copyright report form at TikTok Copyright Report.

If you can’t find a DMCA form or copyright information on the website, follow the steps below to send a proper DMCA takedown notice. You’ll find a sample notice below to guide you.
