DMCA Policy for Short Films
Content Hosting and Embedding
We host short films directly on our servers and also embed content from major streaming sites such as YouTube and Vimeo. Hosted films are remastered and enhanced to the highest possible resolution, up to 8K quality, and encoded for optimal viewing.
For embedded content, all traffic and statistics such as views, likes, shares, and ranking will benefit your original channel on the source platform (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo). This ensures that you, as the content creator, receive all relevant credit and engagement metrics directly on your channel, contributing to your overall visibility and performance on those platforms.
DMCA Takedown Requests
For Content Creators
If you are a content creator and your video has been listed without your consent, and you wish for it to be removed, please follow these steps:
-
Review Distribution Options:
- Claiming View Share: Check the Distribution Section for information on claiming view share on your content. If your short film was submitted to be hosted by a third party who was not eligible, or if you prefer to convert the embedded link to a hosted variant, you can update your distribution preferences.
- Distribution Benefits: By converting to a hosted variant, your film will be remastered and enhanced to the highest possible resolution, up to 8K quality, and hosted on our servers. You will receive a competitive payout of $0.10 CPM, and your work will be promoted on our platform with a detailed bio for better visibility and support.
- Physical Media Distribution: Opt to include your short film in our physical media compilations. Our partner, HDDVD-Revived.com, offers various formats including VCD, DVD, SVCD, HDDVD, Blu-ray, 4K, 8KDVD, and even VHS, DVHS, BetaMax, and WVHS. You earn 0.4% per minute of footage on the disc, with a minimum payout of £10 for media sales and streaming views.

Contact Us: If you still wish to apply for a takedown after reviewing the distribution options, please fill out the DMCA form below. All takedowns are processed within 28 days or less.
Takedown Process
- Submit Takedown Request: Fill out the form with your details and the video you believe violates your terms.
- Verification: If the video is hosted by us, we will verify your request. We may ask you to provide a 4-digit passphrase (such as 1234) to be added to the end of the video description to verify that you are the rightful owner.
- Action: If the video is removed from the platform it is embedded from, or if embedding is disabled via the remote platform, the content will be swiftly delisted by us.
- Confirmation: Once your request is verified and processed, we will confirm the removal of the content.
Embedded Partnerships
If you prefer to keep your video hosted on platforms like YouTube or Vimeo, all traffic and statistics will benefit your original channel. This means all views, likes, shares, and engagement metrics will continue to accumulate on your original platform, ensuring you receive all relevant credit and rankings. However, there is no revenue share from views. You can still partner with us for physical media sales and other promotional opportunities.
