Copyright & DMCA

Big Brother Fantasy is an independent fan project. We host material our members upload — letters to the houseguests, ideas and screenshots, team icons, and recap images — and we publish editorial commentary about the show. If you own a copyright and believe something here uses it without permission, we want to hear from you, and we will act on it.

Sending a Takedown Notice

Send notices to support@bigbrotherfantasy.com with DMCA in the subject line. That inbox is read by a person, not a bot, and copyright notices are triaged ahead of general support.

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all six of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed — or, if multiple works at this site are covered by one notice, a representative list of them.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and want removed, with enough detail for us to locate it. A direct URL is the fastest way to get it taken down.
4. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you: your address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

If your notice is missing any of these, we may not be able to act on it, and we will write back and tell you what is missing.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

What Happens Next

When we receive a complete notice, we remove or disable access to the material expeditiously, and we notify the member who posted it, forwarding them a copy of your notice — including your contact details, which is what the statute requires.

Counter-Notices

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the takedown notice or their agent.

We will forward your counter-notice to the original complainant. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days.

The same warning applies in both directions: § 512(f) penalties cover knowing material misrepresentations in a counter-notice too.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We terminate the accounts of members who are repeat infringers. In practice: a valid takedown notice against material you posted is a strike. Accumulate strikes and we remove your access to Big Brother Fantasy — your account, your uploads, and your ability to sign up again. We may also terminate an account immediately, with no strikes, for a single flagrant case (for example, uploading a full episode or a paywalled feed clip). Strikes are removed if the notice is withdrawn or successfully countered.

Show Material and Fan Use

Big Brother, its logos, its footage, and its promotional photography belong to CBS, Paramount, Endemol Shine, and their licensors. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any of them. Where we publish show stills, we do so as illustration for fan commentary, criticism, and reporting about the season — self-hosted rather than hotlinked, and credited where we can identify the credit. We keep a provenance record for the imagery we publish.

If you hold rights to something here and you would rather a specific image came down, you do not need a formal notice. Email us and we will pull it.
