Introduction
It can be frustrating and disappointing to discover that another creator has used your content in a paid campaign without your permission. If this happens to you, it’s important to take action to protect your rights and your content. In this article, we’ll outline the steps you can take if you notice that your content has been used in a paid campaign without your consent.
What to do if someone uses your content for a paid campaign without your permission
If you notice that another creator has used your content in a paid campaign without your permission, the first thing you should do is contact the creator and ask them to remove your content from their post and any ads associated with that post. It’s important to be polite and professional in your communication, even if you’re feeling frustrated or upset. It’s also a good idea to provide any relevant evidence, such as screenshots or links, to support your request. If the creator is unresponsive or unwilling to remove your content, you may need to consider taking further action, such as seeking legal advice or reporting the matter to the platform on which the content was used. It’s always a good idea to keep thorough records of any communication and documentation related to the unauthorized use of your content.
If you’re unsure of how to handle the situation or need additional support, you can always reach out to our company for help. We’ll work with you to remove the content from the campaign and restore it to its original location. Here are the steps we’ll take:
- We’ll contact the influencer who used your content and ask them to remove it from their post and any ads associated with that post.
- We’ll communicate the removal requirement to the agency or brand managing the paid campaign, so they can take down the video ad as well.
- If we determine that the paid campaign has used your content without your consent, we’ll remove the campaign altogether.
- We’ll restore the stolen content back to its original location on YouTube (or wherever it was originally posted).
If the creator has an account on a social media platform like Instagram, we’ll try to contact them directly to let them know that they need to remove any content from your account (and any other creators’ accounts) that contains their logo or name. If we can’t reach the creator directly, we’ll work with our partner agency or brand management team to take action as soon as possible.
We’ll also communicate with you, if you have an active Creator account, so you can take action and remove your content from any other campaigns that might be using it.
