File a DMCA Takedown for Patreon

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act gives copyright owners a fast, legal way to get infringing content removed without going to court. A DMCA takedown notice is a formal request, sent to a site, its host, or a search engine, stating that specific content infringes your copyright and demanding its removal.

Hosts and platforms generally comply quickly because the same law that lets you send the notice also protects them from liability, but only if they act on valid notices. Ignoring one puts that protection at risk, which is why the process works even against scrapers with no interest in cooperating.

Yes, automatically. The moment you create a post, video, or piece of art, you hold the copyright to it, whether or not you register it anywhere. Posting it on Patreon does not change that. It is still yours, and Patreon's terms do not transfer that ownership away from you.

That ownership is the entire legal basis for a DMCA takedown. Because you own the copyright, any site mirroring or hosting your content without your permission, including automated scrapers like Kemono.su, is infringing it, and you have the right to demand its removal.

You can file a notice yourself. Find the site's DMCA or abuse contact (often in its footer, terms, or a whois lookup for its host), then send a written notice that identifies the copyrighted work, gives the exact URL of the infringing content, states that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized, and includes a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner.

If the site does not respond, or if it is an automated scraper like Kemono.su that mirrors entire pages, the next step is finding its hosting provider and filing the same notice there. In practice, this is the part that eats the most time: identifying hosts, tracking responses, and re-filing when your page gets mirrored again. LeakRemover automates every part of this, files under our own legal identity, and keeps monitoring after removal so you are not doing it again next week.

A compliant host typically removes the content within a few days of receiving a valid notice, sometimes faster. If it does not respond, escalating to the hosting provider or CDN usually gets results even when the original site ignores every notice.

Removal from the host is only half the picture. The page can still be cached or indexed by search engines, so a separate deindexing request is needed to stop it from showing up when someone searches your name. LeakRemover handles both the takedown and the deindexing for every leak, and keeps watching in case your page resurfaces.
