Helping Creators protect their copyright

FetHub’ mission is to empower Creators to own their potential. We are committed to providing Creators with a safe environment, so that they can share and monetize the content which they create.

Stealing content is unlawful. In addition to our other safety and content moderation measures, FetHub have a separate dedicated team of people working to help our Creators protect their content.

Who owns the content on the FetHub platform?

Each Creator owns the content which they chose to post on FetHub. Each Creator grants FetHub a legal right to use the content on the platform by displaying the content to the Creator’s Fans..

I’m a Creator and my content has been posted on another website without my permission. Can I get any help from FetHub?

No, as a Creator, you are solely responsible for the content you post on FetHub.
FetHub does not take any responsibility for your content being posted on other platforms.
FetHub will however take down any content which is on the FetHub platform if a Creator can prove that those images or movies belong to them and have been stolen and posted without any consent.

FetHub supports our Creators, and we do our best to get any stolen content taken down quickly, but not all websites respect copyright laws or comply with our takedown requests. Creators should also reach out to the websites directly and request that their content be removed. Creators can also choose to independently pursue formal legal action against infringers.

What else does FetHub do to help Creators protect their content?

Where appropriate, FetHub contacts other websites and requests that content belonging to FetHub’ Creators be taken down immediately. Some companies comply while others ignore takedown requests and continue to host stolen content.

I am a US-based Creator. Are there any other legal options I can use to pursue stolen content other than a DMCA Notice or a lawsuit?

Yes, from June 16, 2022 the CASE Act allows Creators seeking less than US$30,000 in compensation to file a claim with the Copyright Claims Board. Filing a claim is US$100. This allows Creators to take action against those who steal their content without hiring a lawyer or appearing in a courtroom.

I am a UK-based Creator. Are there any other legal options I can use to pursue stolen content other than a DMCA Notice or a lawsuit?

The English legal system allows Creators seeking to claim less than £10,000 in compensation to file a claim with the Intellectual Property and Enterprise Small Claims court. The costs of filing a claim are the same as the standard small claims court costs.

I am a EU-based Creator. Are there any other legal options I can use to pursue stolen content other than a DMCA Notice or a lawsuit?

The European Union has a small claims court that works across all European Union countries. This means that any Creator living within the European Union can make a cross-border claim using their local small claims court.

Soon, under the Digital Services Act, sites will be required to remove material from EU-based websites if a Creator reports the content is infringing on their copyrights or otherwise illegal.

I’m a Creator and someone posted my content on FetHub without my permission. Can I get any help from FetHub?
