How do I report copyright infringement on PlayHouse?

If you own the copyright in something that's been posted on PlayHouse without your permission, you can ask us to remove it with a takedown notice under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). You don't need a PlayHouse account.

Send your notice with the Takedown notice form on our Copyright takedowns page. Our DMCA and Copyright Policy explains the process.

What your notice needs

• your signature, or the signature of someone authorized to act for the copyright owner;
• a description of the work you believe was copied;
• the links to where it appears on PlayHouse;
• your address, phone number and email address;
• a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you're the owner or authorized to act for them.

After you send it, we email you an acknowledgment with a reference, and our team reviews the content it names. Claiming falsely that material infringes your rights can make you liable.

If your content was removed

If something you posted was removed because of a DMCA notice and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice with the Counter-notice form. A counter-notice is a legal document, and a copy, including your contact details, may be sent to the person who filed the original notice.

We keep track of repeat infringement, and we close the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Your content on other sites

If it's intimate content of you posted without your consent, it's a safety issue, not just copyright. See How do I ask PlayHouse to remove an intimate image of me?.
