How to report copyright and trademark infringement on Weird Requests.

Last updated 2026-07-22

Our policy

Digital Envision LLC respects intellectual property and expects users to do the same. We respond to properly submitted notices of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. section 512, and to trademark complaints.

We remove or disable access to material we determine is infringing, and we terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

Posting material you do not have the rights to is a breach of our Content Rules and our Terms of Service.

Designated agent

Send all notices of claimed infringement and counter-notices to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent Digital Envision LLC 16192 Coastal Highway Lewes, DE 19958 United States support@weirdrequests.com

Email is the fastest route and the one we monitor. Please put "DMCA Notice" or "DMCA Counter-Notice" in the subject line.

This address is for intellectual property notices only. Other legal correspondence sent here may not be actioned promptly — use support@weirdrequests.com with a clear subject instead.

Submitting a takedown notice

To be effective under section 512(c)(3), your notice must be in writing and include all of the following:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list.
  • Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it. A direct URL to the request, delivery or message is by far the most useful thing you can give us.
  • Your contact information: name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

What we do with it

On receipt of a compliant notice we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material, take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted it, and provide them a copy of the notice, including your name and the contents. If you would prefer certain contact details withheld from the user, say so — we will withhold what we lawfully can, but we cannot withhold the substance of the claim.

Incomplete notices

If your notice is missing required elements we will tell you what is missing. We may not act until we receive a compliant notice.

Counter-notices

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice under section 512(g)(3). It must include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  • A statement, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, postal address and telephone number.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.

What happens next

We forward your counter-notice to the original complainant, including the information it contains. If they do not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the activity, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days of receiving your counter-notice.

We cannot restore material that breaches our Content Rules for reasons unrelated to the copyright claim.

Misrepresentation is not free

Under section 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by the copyright owner, or by us.

Do not use this process to remove criticism, to win a dispute with a fulfiller, or to take down work you commissioned but no longer wish to pay for. Consider whether the use might be fair use before submitting.

We may decline to process notices from senders with a pattern of abusive or bad-faith submissions, and may refer such conduct to the affected users.

Repeat infringers

We maintain and reasonably implement a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

Copyright strikes are tracked alongside our other enforcement strikes. A valid, uncontested takedown counts as a strike. A strike is reversed if the material is restored following an uncontested counter-notice.

Accumulating the strike threshold results in termination, as described in the Content Rules. Blatant or commercial-scale infringement may result in termination on the first occurrence.

Trademark complaints

The DMCA covers copyright, not trademarks. To report trademark infringement, email support@weirdrequests.com with "Trademark Complaint" in the subject and include:

  • Your name, the trademark owner's name, and your authority to act.
  • The trademark at issue, its registration number and jurisdiction, or the basis of any unregistered rights claimed.
  • The goods or services it is registered for.
  • Identification of the material complained of, with URLs.
  • An explanation of why the use is likely to cause confusion, and confirmation it is not authorised.
  • A good-faith statement and your contact details.

We assess trademark complaints on their facts. Nominative, descriptive and comparative uses, commentary and parody are generally permitted.

Other rights and jurisdictions

Right of publicity and likeness

If your name, image, voice or likeness — including a synthetic or AI-generated version — is used without permission, email support@weirdrequests.com. This is also a breach of our Content Rules and we act on it independently of any copyright claim.

Outside the United States

If you are in the European Union, this policy operates alongside our obligations under the Digital Services Act, and you may submit notices through the same address. If you are in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, we accept notices in the form described above regardless of where you are.

Court orders

We comply with valid court orders. Send them to support@weirdrequests.com with the order attached.
