Someone stole or re-uploaded your content?
Under the Copyright Act, 1957, original videos, photos, music, writing and designs are protected from the moment you create them. If someone copies or re-uploads your work, you can ask platforms to take it down and send the infringer a legal notice for removal and compensation.

FAQ
Someone stole or re-uploaded your content?: common questions
Do I need to register copyright to protect my content?+
No. Copyright exists automatically, but registration with the Copyright Office is useful evidence in disputes.
Can I get money from someone who used my content?+
Yes. Courts can award damages and order the infringer to account for profits, especially in commercial misuse.
Is it free to submit my problem on LawPaw?+
Yes. Telling us your problem and getting a call back from your coordinator is free. You pay only if you decide to go ahead.
What will I have to pay?+
Up to three things, all told to you in writing before you pay: (1) LawPaw's convenience fee for coordinating your matter, (2) the professional's fee, which they quote, and (3) government charges such as court fees or stamp duty, at actual cost. GST applies as per law. There are no hidden charges.
