DMCA Takedown
A formal legal request to remove pirated content from a website, filed by the copyright holder.
A DMCA takedown is a formal notice sent to a website or hosting provider demanding the removal of copyrighted content. OnlyFans creators file takedowns against piracy sites that host their leaked content.
How to File
- Self-filing — Send a DMCA notice directly to the website's hosting provider (free but time-consuming)
- Paid services — Companies like Rulta, BranditsDown, and DMCA Force automate the process ($50-$200+/month)
- OnlyFans DMCA tool — OnlyFans has a built-in DMCA reporting feature for some platforms
