Repeat infringer policy

Last updated 5 November 2026

When a takedown notice is upheld, the clip is removed from the service and the account that made it receives a strike. The account holder is told by email and can reply with evidence that they hold the rights.

• First strike: the clip is removed and the account holder is warned.
• Second strike within twelve months: posting is suspended for 30 days.
• Third strike within twelve months: the account is terminated and cannot be reopened.

Uploading content with a false rights attestation, or using a campaign source list to clip a channel that has not authorised it, counts as a strike without a notice. Accounts created to get around a termination are closed.
