It is not rare to find news about content creators that have been victims of leaks on OnlyFans. The platform’s Terms of Service expressly prohibit any attempts to unlawfully distribute and reproduce private content but are not sufficient to stop the overwhelming number of breaches.Ā Ā
In this article, you will find out how to hire an OnlyFans leak attorney.
When Should an OnlyFans Content Creator Hire an Attorney?
When a content creator creates an account on OnlyFans, the website’s Terms of Use state that the platform only has a limited license to provide the posted content to a select audience. If you have an OnlyFans account, it is impossible to take the guidance of an expert attorney for granted.
If any of the following events have occurred to you, it is crucial to consult with an attorney with experience defending OnlyFans content creators:
- A user stole videos or photos from an OnlyFans account and is publishing them using a different account on the same platform
- A user has created an account impersonating your content on OnlyFans
- A user has stolen videos or photos from an OnlyFans account to unlawfully publish the content on another platform
- The unlawful distribution of OnlyFans content on adult websites
- The occurrence of harassment or stalking through an OnlyFans account
However, the best approach is to seek expert legal action before anyone decides to steal your content on OnlyFans. An experienced intellectual property attorney may assess your case and identify an ideal preventive strategy.Ā Ā
How to Hire an OnlyFans Leak Attorney – Timely and Efficient Reaction
If the leak has already occurred, it might require you to take legal action in court. In such cases, letting the time run out may only result in the spoliation of evidence and the expiration of the statutory deadline for bringing claims.
For example, copyright infringement claims generally have a statute of limitations of three years. Failing to act within the statutory deadline will result in disappointment and financial prejudice. Before proceeding with legal action, it is possible to seek some non-judicial alternatives to solve the issue.Ā
The content creator can send a DMCA takedown notice to the infringing party to compel the removal of the content or use a cease-and-desist letter to request the perpetrator to stop the unlawful action.
The injured party can file a civil lawsuit based on copyright infringement claims, infliction of emotional distress, intrusion of privacy, and misappropriation. Depending on the level of the infringement, it may be possible to file a criminal lawsuit for fraud or other similar legal grounds.
Is a Victim of a Content Leak on OnlyFans Entitled to Damages?
If a content creator suffers a leak on OnlyFans and the infringing party unlawfully appropriates copyrighted content registered with the US Copyright Office, the injured party may obtain up to $150,000 in statutory damages.
Additionally, the infringing party may also have to pay the victim’s litigation costs and attorney’s fees. If the content creator has not officially registered the content before the release on OnlyFans, it is possible to seek actual damages and the infringing party’s profits obtained with the leaked content.Ā Ā
