How we deal with leakers
Learn how Passes safeguards your content through digital watermarking, DMCA takedowns, and enforcement actions against users who distribute paid creator content without authorization.
Unauthorized distribution of paid content constitutes copyright infringement and theft of intellectual property. Passes is committed to protecting creators from exploitation through comprehensive content protection measures.
Our proprietary digital watermarking technology enables us to identify specific users who engage in unauthorized content distribution. Additionally, our dedicated DMCA enforcement team continuously monitors the internet and removes infringing content.
Understanding DMCA Protection
What is DMCA? The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S. legislation that establishes procedures for online service providers to handle copyright infringement claims and provides legal protections for both content creators and platforms.
How DMCA Takedowns Work: When you discover your content has been distributed without authorization, you can file a DCMA takedown request with Passes. Each request must include specific information, including the URL where the infringing content appears. We review all submissions and remove validated infringing content promptly.
Reporting Unauthorized Content
Review our complete DMCA Takedown policy before submitting reports. To report unauthorized content distribution, email leaks@passes.com with:
- Detailed description of the content (ex. "A mirror selfie")
- Direct link or URL to the infringing content
- Your contact information (email or phone number)
We will contact you after reviewing your submission.
Service Details
Submit takedown requests whenever you discover unauthorized content distribution. There are no limits on the number of requests you can file.
Digital Watermarking
DMCA takedowns can be processed for any unauthorized content, regardless of watermark presence. However, digital watermarking helps identify the source of content distribution.
Enable Watermarking: Navigate to Settings 👉 Privacy & Safety 👉 Watermark to activate this feature.
Once enabled, a subtle gray watermark will appear on all paid content. The watermark is designed to be minimally intrusive while providing tracking capabilities.
The creator economy depends on trust and respect for intellectual property rights. Passes is dedicated to maintaining a secure environment where creators can confidently share their content, knowing their work is protected by industry-leading security measures and swift enforcement actions.
