How to Protect Your Content Through OnlyFans DMCA Takedowns

Your OnlyFans content is your bread and butter, so protecting it from leaks, impersonators, and misuse is key to safeguarding your income and your brand.

If you’ve never searched yourself on Google, twitter, and so on, brace yourself. You are going to find catfish accounts and people posing as you. This isn’t the only way that lowlives will scam with your content. They may be impersonating you on Tinder, Snapchat, or finding other ways to sell your stolen content.

At the best, these people are just annoying, and at the worst, they’re damaging your brand and taking away potential subs (and earnings) from you.

That's why it's important to know your legal rights and resources as an adult content creator. This short guide will run through all the ways you can keep your content safe, including through OnlyFans DMCA takedowns.

How Can I Protect My OnlyFans Content?

Is OnlyFans safe? Yes and no. While no online content is completely leak-proof, you can reduce risk by combining smart habits with available protection tools. Using a DMCA service for OnlyFans and external sites helps remove stolen content and discourages repeat leaks. Watermarking photos and videos makes piracy easier to trace, while keeping explicit content behind paywalls or PPV messages limits how easily it can be shared. Adding a clear copyright disclaimer, monitoring impersonation or leak sites, and avoiding oversharing personal details all play a role in protecting your content, income, and online identity over time. It also helps to use an OnlyFans VPN to help mask your IP address and location, adding an extra layer of privacy when uploading content or chatting with subscribers.

How Does OnlyFans Protect Creators and Their Content?

OnlyFans provides several built-in tools to help creators protect their accounts, content, and earnings. These include mandatory identity verification to prevent impersonation, two-factor authentication for account security, and granular privacy controls such as blocking users by location, restricting downloads, and muting or banning subscribers. The platform also offers content watermarking and a dedicated OnlyFans DMCA protection process to help remove stolen material from the platform and third-party sites. While these protections form a solid baseline, creators are encouraged to actively use them and maintain good security habits to minimize risks.

DMCA Notices for Stolen Content Outside of OnlyFans

DMCA stands for “Digital Millennium Copyright Act” and serves to legally protect your videos and images from being used by someone else without your permission.

Oftentimes, users who are stealing your content are posting it somewhere other than OnlyFans in order to monetize it and avoid OnlyFans’ copyright system.

Most leaks are posted on forums, leak sites, or Telegram. You can find them by googling your OF or social / Reddit account names and then tracking them on those sites. Sometimes you’ll need to log in to those sites in order to find your content but once you are, you can keep track of new leaks and stay on top of looking out for your content.

There are also many private firms that offer an OnlyFans DMCA service to keep your digital content safe. Register, sign a form to allow them to act on your behalf, and they will directly contact the sites with your pirated content to take it down.

Here are some of our top creators’ favorites:

DMCA Notices for Stolen Content on OnlyFans

OnlyFans does have DMCA protection for OnlyFans creators. You can find the link at the bottom in the support section. When you use this, DMCA sends a notice to a person accused of infringement to claim the content, and who is the one claiming it.  

To report the stolen content on OnlyFans, go to their profile and click on the image or video you want to report. At the top right corner, you can see ‘More’, select it, and find ‘Report’ in the dropdown menu.

How to Take Down OnlyFans Leaked Content

Content leaks are frustrating, but they’re unfortunately common on OnlyFans. The good news is that creators have clear, actionable steps they can take to remove stolen content quickly and reduce future leaks.

  1. Collect evidence: Take screenshots and copy URLs where your content is being shared without permission. Include usernames, post links, and platform names.
  2. Report leaks on OnlyFans: Visit the infringing profile or post on OnlyFans, click More, then select Report and choose Copyright Infringement.
  3. Submit a DMCA takedown for external sites: If your content appears on forums, leak sites, or social platforms, file a DMCA notice directly with those sites or use a third-party takedown service.
  4. Use OnlyFans’ DMCA support: Submit a copyright report through the OnlyFans support section so their team can issue takedown notices on your behalf.
  5. Monitor for repeat leaks: Regularly search your username and content titles to catch new leaks early and act quickly.
  6. Prevent future leaks: Watermark your content, keep explicit material behind paywalls or PPVs, and add a clear copyright disclaimer to your profile.

Make It Easier to Identify Stolen Assets

Watermark your content so anything leaked can be easily tracked back to you. This helps others identify you and lowers the chances of someone else successfully monetizing. It’s like putting a tattoo on your digital self!

Also, consider using a stage name that stands out. Having a unique name can help you in terms of Google search. Usually, it’s just amateurs who will impersonate you with your same name, but all the same, it’s a good idea to be as easy to identify as possible.

Use a Content Disclaimer

There’s a fine balance to strike between keeping your content safe and not disturbing the experience of fans on your page. The majority are there to support you and enjoy what you make, but unfortunately, it only takes one person with bad intentions to leak your content.

Disclaimers in your OnlyFans bio are a great option because they can be subtle and fit your brand without being off-putting to potential subs. Here are a few examples of what you can say:

“Content on this page is private and copyrighted, much like your desires are safe with me.”
“I’m a good girl, but I can get nasty with DMCA if you steal my content.”
“I reward loyal fans who help protect me from thieves! If you pirate my content, you will be punished.”

These disclaimers are soft and deliver the message with flirty and sexy language to keep the tone light but firm!

There’s also a more traditional disclaimer, like this, you can use if you want to be more serious:

“By subscribing to my page, you agree to follow these legally binding terms: All content on this page is copyright/owned by me. This includes any content purchased separately. Content is not to be downloaded, copied, or shared under any circumstances. This includes all comments, conversations, and private messages. Failure to comply with these terms will result in legal action being taken against you and a permanent ban from the OnlyFans platform.”

Keep Explicit Content Behind a Paywall

Don’t give any of your juiciest photos or videos out for free. If fans have to purchase these by PPVs in your DMs, it is way more difficult to export and leak than if you have it on your main feed. Read more here on how to price your content and why PPVs are always a good idea.

This is not a hard rule, as it can pay off for you to reward top spending fans with little freebies here and there.

Final Words

With tools like DMCA OnlyFans services, and Supercreator, you can instantly find whether a fan is a super spender or not and know who to trust with these bonuses!

In the end, nothing is safe on the internet, but the points mentioned above will help you get your content removed if it’s stolen. Keep creating, doing you, and being a boss ass bitch!
