Problem

Your content has been used without your permission.

Solution

For individuals (generally younger users - copied work/remixed without credit, etc)

We advise that you contact us using our Support Portal so we can deal with the matter quickly. Don't try and deal with it yourself as this can cause arguments.

For businesses and copyright holders

We understand that your copyrighted assets and other intellectual property are important to your business. We would like to facilitate any requests you may have, however we would like you keep in mind the following:

  • OpenSprites is mainly used by young children.
  • OpenSprites was created with the intent of being an educational resource sharing site.
  • The users are not very likely to do harm to your brand or business - this is a low scale site and a child's school project is unlikely to cause a drop in your profits.

If you still feel it is necessary to file a DMCA Report you may go ahead, and we reserve the right to publish your report at chillingeffects.org.

How to file a DMCA Report

To file a DMCA Report you need to use the OpenSprites Support system. This can be accessed here. You will be expected to register for a support account to file your request.

Please note:

  • You will be expected to provide sufficient evidence that you are the copyright holder.
  • You will be expected to identify which asset on our site is violating copyright law.
  • We can not handle DMCA Requests 24/7. It may take up to 72 hours for your request to be processed.
