Watermarks and Anti-Piracy Protection

Fansit uses several layers to protect creator content from being scraped, downloaded, or reposted without permission. Here's what's in place and what to do if you find your content elsewhere.

What we do automatically

Watermarking

• Visible watermarks are applied to all images and videos with the fan's username embedded subtly. If a fan saves and reposts content, the watermark identifies who the leak came from.
• Invisible (forensic) watermarks are added at the file level. These survive cropping, compression, and re-encoding. We use them to trace leaks back to the original buyer.

DRM and stream protection

• Video PPV content is protected with encrypted streaming that prevents direct file download from the page.
• Right-click save and most browser-extension downloaders are blocked.
• Live streams use encrypted real-time protocols that resist standard recording tools.

Anti-scraping

• Rate limiting on all content endpoints prevents bots from downloading at scale.
• Suspicious access patterns (rapid sequential downloads, unusual session behavior) trigger temporary IP-level throttles.
• Account lockouts apply automatically to fans triggering too many anti-scrape signals in a short window.

Account-level enforcement

• Fans caught downloading and redistributing content face immediate account termination under the Acceptable Use Policy.
• Repeat offenders are banned from creating new accounts (we use device fingerprinting).

What you can do

File a DMCA takedown

If you find your content on another website (a tube site, a Reddit thread, a Telegram channel), file a DMCA takedown notice with the host of that site.

You can use Fansit's DMCA process for content reposted on Fansit itself. For external sites, you file directly with the host using their DMCA contact.

The full DMCA process is at legal.fansit.com/dmca.

Major sites have these DMCA contacts:

• Reddit: dmca@reddit.com or via reddithelp.com
• Twitter/X: copyright form on help.twitter.com
• Pornhub family: abuse@manwin.com
• Generic tube sites: the contact in the site's terms of service

Use anti-piracy services

For high-volume creators, third-party services like DMCA Force, Branded Defense, or Rulta scan the web for your leaked content and file takedowns automatically. They typically take 10–25% of recovered earnings or charge a flat monthly fee.

We don't endorse a specific provider — but we'll provide your forensic watermark records to support takedown claims.

Track leaks via watermark

If you find your content on a third-party site:

1. Save the leaked file.
2. Email support@fansit.com with the file attached.
3. We'll run the forensic watermark check and identify the originating fan account.
4. The leaking fan account is terminated immediately and reported.

What we can't fully prevent

Honest disclosure: no anti-piracy system is perfect. Determined attackers with screen-recording tools can capture playback. Our protection raises the cost of leaking dramatically — most leaks happen because casual fans share content with friends, and watermarks deter that. They don't stop nation-state level adversaries.

Best practices for high-value content

• Schedule premium content release timing — don't drop your highest-value content right before sleeping when no one's monitoring.
• Watch your forensic watermark reports — Fansit emails you a summary monthly.
• Use shorter PPV unlock windows for highest-priced content if you're concerned (we can enable expiring PPV on request — contact support).
• Engage with anti-piracy services if you're earning $5K+/month and want hands-off enforcement.
