Where Do I Report A Site That Uploads My Work Without My Permission? by Typing(op): 7:03am On Nov 04, 2025
There is this site that uploaded some of my YouTube videos without my permission. The site does not have any means that they can be contacted on the site. No emails, no link to contact their support or phone number.

How do I report that site since I can't contact them directly?

If it's an embedded YouTube video, forget it.

Just like YouTube videos are uploaded on Nairaland, there's nothing you can do about it.

The only thing you can do is to restrict embedding on the video via YouTube.

I got this AI response you could try

To report a website for copyright infringement when you cannot contact the site owner directly, you should file a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) take down notice with the website's hosting provider. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Identify the Website's Hosting Provider
Since the website itself has no contact information, you need to find out who hosts it.
Use a WHOIS Lookup Tool: Go to a WHOIS search tool (like the ICANN Lookup tool) and enter the URL of the infringing website.
Locate Hosting Information: The results will provide information about the domain registrar and often the hosting provider (the actual company running the servers). Look for the "abuse contact email" or the name of the hosting company.

2. File the DMCA Takedown Notice with the Host
Once you have identified the hosting provider, you can send them a formal DMCA takedown notice. Most legitimate hosting companies have a dedicated process for this.

Check the Host's Website: Visit the hosting provider's website and look for a "DMCA," "Copyright Infringement," "Abuse," or "Legal" section (often in the footer). They may have an online form which is the preferred method, or an email address.

Prepare Your Notice: Your notice must include specific information to be legally effective:
Your contact information: Name, address, phone number, and email address.
Identification of the copyrighted work: A clear description of your original YouTube videos.
Location of the infringement: The specific URLs on the infringing site where your videos are located.
Location of your original work: The URLs of your original videos on YouTube (even if they have been removed, the original link helps establish ownership).
A statement of ownership: A declaration that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
A "good faith" statement: A statement that you believe the use of the material is not authorized by you or the law.
An accuracy statement: A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate.
Your electronic or physical signature.
Send the Notice: Submit the notice via the host's online form or email address.

3. Additional Steps
Use a DMCA Service: Services like DMCA.com can handle the entire process on your behalf for a fee, which can be helpful if you find the process confusing or if the host is difficult to contact.

Report to Google Search: If the host is unresponsive (e.g., if they are outside the US and not subject to the DMCA), you can file a complaint with Google to have the infringing pages removed from Google search results. This won't take the site down but will make it much harder for others to find via search engines.

By contacting the hosting provider, you are directing your complaint to the entity that has the power to remove the content quickly without needing to interact with the site owner directly

Just send an email to: [anything@targetdomain].

If the target domain has a catch-all address, all emails (even invalid ones) get delivered to a single inbox.

In that case, your email will appear “delivered,” even though the specific user doesn’t exist.

Don't you know it's an advantage not a threat huh
If the site uses a link to your youtube channel it's a way to gain traffic to your channel. I really don't get your point with your post.

If unsure, the police is always there to take any case. Then later classify it as either civil or criminal case.

Even movies are being uploaded on so many sites and the producer couldn't do anything about it, there's nothing you can do about it except you want to pay hacker to hack the site.
