Why would you want to remove it? As long as they tagged the clip back to you in some sort of way you would just be ruining your own image and probably lose a fan
Why do you want them to take it down? A, it’s free promo. B, it could potentially lead to bad publicity and come off with you looking bad and potentially lose what appears to be a loyal fan (those are valuable). Best thing you could do is comment thanking them for sharing that clip so people see you’re the streamer
I wish I had someone edit and post clips for me… would make it so much easier to get discovered.
I make exactly zero dollars from TikTok, so long as they’r crediting the actual place I make money, post away!
They tagged you, I think it's good for your exposure.
What's annoying is when they repost, don't credit you, and then delete your comment that thanks them for posting your video.
However, I believe these are usually super obvious content farms and people who are interested will find the source.
The worse thing is when someone takes a groundbreaking idea you have, then make their own content out of it as if they made up the groundbreaking idea themselves, taking all the praise, attention, and money for it. They can't do that if they just repost your videos.
If they tagged and link to your stream then it's fine. Free advertising was never a bad thing, unless that clip is something you deem as embarassing or had things you don't want to be shown to the audience then yea take it down. Other than that, thanks for the free advertising and most probably new viewers coming cause of that clip
If you are live streaming then you have to be fine with people clipping almost anything you do but just think about the positives.
1. Free advertising
2. Possibly extending your viewer reach
Everything you do on live is public domain to a certain extent so if you ask everyone to take down your content then you won’t grow.
Esp if they leave clips on in their settings.
Of course, there's other ways to save a "clip" from a live stream, but if you choose to leave "clips" (and VODS) on, it's kinda fair game, and at the fault of the streamer. Esp when clipped legitimately.
maybe because it is her "picture" and some dude has no right to use it without asking? Wouldt you mind if somebody would use pics from your Insta or clips from your stream for his content without asking you?
Lets say you take pics or make clips you share on your insta/fp/whatever, if someone else would be filming you or taking pics from you while you made these pics/clips and share it to the public for his own purposes - that would be absolutely fine for you? Okay...THAT is a strange hill to die on imho ;)
If I made it possible for anyone to come in and watch on a public stream I would not be surprised in the slightest. I'm not saying if it is / isn't right, I'm just of the view that if you are streaming on a public platform, it seems unrealistic to think people aren't going to clip/record and share that in other places.
I think if you did have a problem with peoole doing that you should make your content privately and then release it via a channel where you can have more control over access.
And I'm not dying on any hill, just commenting!
...if you were right, it would be absolutely okay when we record some movie from free2air TV or music from radio, to share it on Twitch eg....but it isnt. Also if your Insta or FB is public you say everyone in the world could take this stuff, to use it ...because it was public before and so it doesnt matter? I don´t think, thats how it works...and if you ever tried to be a content creator, you would know it doesnt.
Hmmm, maybe so.
Honestly I'm not into content creation so I dont know what is / isn't allowed. That said, I do know in the case of web scraping anything that is publically accessible outside of a login screen is generally seen as public data (In UK/US at least, not sure about other countries). There have been some very high profile law suits around this area with LinkedIn for example.
That said maybe the stream is only accessible behind a login in the first place and therefore none of this relevant! Anyway - interesting conversation so thanks random redditor!
I have dcma'd my content. I don't think you read my time correctly. OP said they thought it wasn't malicious. A well meaning but naive person will likely need to have it explained to them that it's not okay to upload someone else's content.
If they've tagged you, why do you want it taken down? If they were being horrible then maybe. But if not, that's a free promo for your channel.
Just say thank you and leave it .
IDK, seems oddly petty imo. It's more likely they just wanna show off your stream/think that it's cool their favorite streamer interacted with them.
It's free promo, anyways. I'd just comment on it letting others know it's your stream if you want, ala "Thanks for coming through to my stream!" Maybe even post your link to it if you'd really like.
As most of these comments has mentioned:
Free promo
The viewer had tagged you
If it wasn't for malicious intentions then i would simply say thanks
I'd be happy if ppl shared my clips and tagged me.
If they're trying to pass it off as their own or not crediting you in the clip, sure. If it bothers you, also sure. If you don't already, maybe make one yourself and share your clips as well.
Yeah ask them to take it out if you don’t want free promotion. Getting known even with something small helps. It looks like someone is already helping build your community
Rule of the internet: If you post stuff on the internet, then someone is going to "steal" it eventually, and if you're popular, that's going to be a common occurrence.
Some people imagine that their content is highly valuable and they are losing massive licensing fees when people use their stuff for free. Get real, people. Your stuff ain't valuable, the internet is full of stuff of similar quality, and no one is going to pay you lots of money to use it.
There are definitely situations where folks are losing money because someone decided to clip their stuff and post it somewhere. And in most cases the people posting clips or compilations -aren't- crediting the creators that they are taking from so the people will likely never see a return from another 'creator' wholesale stealing content and reposting it elsewhere.
The raw facts is that most folks won't be losing money because they aren't in a position to be making the money from the content in the first place. But not protecting your content through requesting others to not use it is also potentially impacting you -if- you were to get big at some point because there was already a precedent set that you don't protect your IP and content.
It's a -very- complicated situation to be in and partly why reaction content as well as compilation content has been under fire - there's generally not enough done to denote fair use or make it transformative. Personally, if folks are linking socials and crediting then I think I'd mostly be fine since users have a way of then finding the original creator. If they are not, then that's when you ask them to remove the content and if they refuse then you can take steps with a take down request.
It's hard to say.
It is your right to remove it, sure... copyright law grants you that. But unless you're losing something substantial from their posting (revenue, sanity, some other tangible or intangible good), let it go.
If it's not malicious, and the clip was of an answer to them, and it ain't potraing you in a bad light, and they tagged you, and it's a viewer you know (so I assume it's an active one)... why do you want to take it down?!
The Person linked you in it, so they do not intent to do smth mean, at least it seems like it.
And also, it's free advertisement. More people will see the video and also see you, the other person might reach people you don't. Rather ask for links and mentions than taking it down, it's also less cofrontational, and maybe you can do a collab someday.
Me personally, if the clip is not malicious, I would welcome it, but make sure that people who clip and ship include your username burned into the clip just in case it gets viral so you get the attention you deserve :) Most people don't read captions or the description of videos, especially short clips, so this is very important.
I would accept this is the way things will be from now and treat it as free marketing.
Some people get wound up when they see compilations of their content on YouTube which they didn't consent/make and think that it'll lose them money, but the majority of the time you can view as a form of free advertising and building a fanbase.
I think it depends on the clip. Is it malicious/worsening your brand? (Likely not) Would it have been something you would’ve posted yourself? (If not, then you aren’t losing anything)
Free exposure for someone else’s effort on their own will.
At the end of the day it’s up to you, but I would recommend against it. If you have heard of vtubers, the entire industry exploded as a result of unauthorized clips like that and Mr Beast is fine with blatant theft of his content because of the exposure.
If you decide against allowing it, I’m sure nothing too bad will happen if they are a fan and you personally ask them to take it down and are nice about it. Once again, you would likely know best on that.
If they're not being malicious and seeing that they've tagged you I think it's clear they are not trying to impersonate or steal your content, you might be better off just replying so people can click on your profile, to me this sounds like free promo and good publicity
No such thing as bad publicity. This is more of a worry as you grow then right now. Any streamer whether you are just starting out or even if you have been streaming for a while and you still are looking to get noticed these things can help.
Maybe the tags they use or whatever generates views and optics you wouldn't normally get! Great for growth. Asking to take it down can come off as petty when all it is - someone appreciates your content and is sharing it. Accept the helping hand! 🫡
Just an hint, tell on socials, and in the streams that the clips before being uploaded elsewhere they need to be checked by you to get accepted for sharing.
So if a follower want share a "meme" or a moment you can control what is posted.
Obviously not all people listen and do what you want, but just suggest the rule of before posting let me se if that clip is ok for me.
And watch absolutely nobody do that because there's no point. End of the day it's a public broadcast and the original creator was tagged. You can't control the flow of memes and clips from viewers.
I know, but an adversment in the rules or a post on socials maybe can manage the complete anarchy.
And no, the stream isn't public if you can set it in subbed only, so if anyone leak anything it's a damage for the creator if maked bad. But is also a promote to subbing the channel if is a good curiosity post without decontestualization.
The important thing is the clips don't damage the creator personally or his public image, the rest is free content and sponsorship.
The stream absolutely is still public if it's in "subbed only" it just moves from free content to paid content (for the live view, an early broadcast, etc.) and is a PERK of subscription, not licensed under said subscription. Unless an NDA is involved you as a content creator have little to no expectation of control of what your community does with your content after the fact. On another note if the creator is producing content that would damage their personal or public image then maybe that person should rethink being a content creator. You can absolutely put an arbitrary rule on your socials or your channel but it's not worth the effort to do it because nobody cares.
I know, but a little streamer can manage few people and his community if he had some rules to follow.
For a big streamer is impossible to control milions of people.
> if the creator is producing content that would damage their personal or public image then maybe that person should rethink being a content creator.
Not true if people do things that decontestualize the thing and make fake rumors.
If you think that then all famous people need to stop be popular only because some jerk do fake porn or fake news on they and i don't think is a correct perspective.
Yes it's okay ask them to take it down for whatever reason you see fit. Free promo or not, if you're uncomfortable with someone else posting it, that's fine!
As a streamer, I understand why you might feel the urge to take it down. The same has happened to me. Without any editing to the clip it feels like they are almost taking your content and just reposting it for their own views, likes, exc.
My manager and I reviewed this is a common thing when making content. They don’t always credit you and many who view it don’t feel the urge/too lazy to find the original clip since they just saw it, so they’ll follow the one who uploaded the clip rather than you.
Personally, I would remove it as I have in the past. If you have good content such as that clip, make it yourself and promote it yourself so people truly know where it comes from and you are the one receiving likes, views, attention rather than someone taking your content.
Hope this helps 💕
Additional: If they refuse to remove it, just slap a comment with your socials. I think removing it is best, whether malicious intent or not. Although it might feel like free promo it isn’t the source of the content and you will get little to no attention. My friends and I have gone through this
I guess there is some generational divide here, because to my mind it is obvious that someone shouldn’t post your content on their socials without first getting your permission. It gets tricky because once someone reaches a certain level of popularity, yeah, people are gonna do that. I dunno, seems like people have this attitude that you are obligated to be grateful because your fan is promoting you, but this assumes you want to be promoted. Not sure if you indicated your feelings on this, but I think a lot of streamers just want to chill with their friends, and think “going viral” is bullcrap. If it concerns you, then I’d gently ask the fan to ask for permission in the future.
If it’s not big deal, then it’s no big deal for the fan to ask for permission. Your stream is your content. I understand the vibe of this subreddit is generally advice about how to grow your stream. Well, what about brand control? I’ve seen clips of streamers where things are taken out of context and the streamer looks like a jackass. In this case, it seems like there’s no issue. OK, I’m paranoid, but people can make clips that make streamers look like awful people, and then your brand is suddenly, “pathetic streamer who chastises chat for being broke” or whatever.
It's clear that no one actually understands what "fair use" actually means. This is neither parody nor criticism, so it's not fair use. More info on that: https://youtu.be/1Jwo5qc78QU
Damn, most of the people on here apparently think content theft is just free advertising; it's not. If they uploaded a clip of yours without making any alterations, it doesn't fall under fair use copyright law and you have every right to have them take it down if you want. I have a YouTube channel where I will sometimes post content from my Twitch, and I certainly wouldn't want someone stealing content from me without my permission, even if they did give me credit. But ultimately the choice is up to you.
The people in here saying to leave it up do not seem to understand that by letting this person use your content without your consent sets a precedent for future things to happen. Ask them to take it down, and if they refuse, hit them with a DMCA. It is NEVER ok for someone to use YOUR content without consent
You are LEGALLY in the right to do whatever you want with your content, including takedown notices, cease and desist warnings, and lawsuits. You are within your rights to do so, if it's not parody or criticism, which this isn't.
That said: that's a whole lot of effort and potentially money on a small thing, and you're probably not going to look good in public.
So yeah, if you REALLY don't want the clip up, ask them to take it down, as that's free and effortless. But if they say no, you can report it to TikTok and see if they'll do anything. If they don't, see my second paragraph about time and money. Do you want to fight this or just let it ride and see what comes of it?
But if you're fine with it, at least they gave credit.
Final note: here's a very good video to watch regarding other people using your stuff. https://youtu.be/1Jwo5qc78QU
I would ask them to take it down because I wouldn’t want that to become a precedent that I allow people to take my content and reupload it.
I would say I appreciate that they like my content but just not to do it again in the future.
I had someone take a steam of mine and upload it to youtube and didn't credit me or anything, they came in and wanted me to draw something and was confused if it were a commission or not. It wasn't! They were on other streamers doing the same thing to ask them to draw what I drawing... I have not heard from them in years so that us a good thing.
Since they tagged you in it anyone that sees the clip will recognize thay the clip is from your steam and if they like it might even give you a watch. Personally I wouldn't worry about it, might even comment on the video to give it a small interaction bump.
If they were trying to pass the clip off as their own, and this was a constant thing, and I were also trying to build a tiktok following of my own and this would cause some confusion then I might do something, but my first resort would probably still not be trying to have them take it down. More likely, I'd just want them to give credit where credit is due.
If they didn’t tag and just left you hanging with no credit, then I would say ask to take it down but they attributed it to you. I think it’s sweet that they thought that much of your clip to not only save it, but post it for other people to see and promote your page ◡̈
Anecdote time. Many years ago I worked for a death metal band. Someone made a fan video using one of their songs. The band loved it and it went viral, generating 4x more views than their official videos.
Unfortunately the label made YouTube take the video down. This generated a ton of bad PR when the guy posted about it online. Eventually it got resolved and the video went back up. I think the band gave him free tickets to a show so they could meet him in person.
If the clip doesn't show you in a bad light you're better off leaving it alone or being supportive. No reason to risk bad PR.
In my opinion, of they tagged you then it's similar to someone posting someone art on a random Facebook group but in the post, they name the artist. It's different from someone stealing content with no attribution since you are tagged and linked, so anybody wanting more of the same content knows where to find it.
That said, it IS still your content and if you want to be more guarded on how it's distributed, that's your right and your choice to pursue, but I'd personally allow it.
Your edit warms my heart. Yeah, unless you are super famous and people are just using you for their own clout (And even then...), consider it an endorsement and free advertisement of your talents. I am jealous! :)
In addition to commenting to thank them, you could duet their post reacting/laughing. That’s both a thank you and an easy way for people to have your account t info right there.
Just be prepared that if you duet it, you’re encouraging people to do it more. That’s great for spreading your content, just don’t want you to be surprised
Please be careful with TikTok in this way, if footage of you is uploaded to an account other than your own sometimes when you post videos after the fact it strikes them for being stolen, I have seen this happen to a few friends when they’ve been posted or tried to move to new TikTok’s
that's fine but I think it's better to just comment "thanks for the share :)" and people will click through to your profile
THIS,is free promo and also means your followers are making content about you(wich is amazing)
if your comment gets erased... well, you get the memo ;)
Free promo. Comment on the video and leave it alone
Why would you want to remove it? As long as they tagged the clip back to you in some sort of way you would just be ruining your own image and probably lose a fan

I would absolutely follow Mr. Breasts advice

Yeah ask them to take it out if you don’t want free promotion. Getting known even with something small helps. It looks like someone is already helping build your community
this last part is key

Thank then for the share and move on

As a streamer, I understand why you might feel the urge to take it down. The same has happened to me. Without any editing to the clip it feels like they are almost taking your content and just reposting it for their own views, likes, exc. My manager and I reviewed this is a common thing when making content. They don’t always credit you and many who view it don’t feel the urge/too lazy to find the original clip since they just saw it, so they’ll follow the one who uploaded the clip rather than you. Personally, I would remove it as I have in the past. If you have good content such as that clip, make it yourself and promote it yourself so people truly know where it comes from and you are the one receiving likes, views, attention rather than someone taking your content. Hope this helps 💕
Additional: If they refuse to remove it, just slap a comment with your socials. I think removing it is best, whether malicious intent or not. Although it might feel like free promo it isn’t the source of the content and you will get little to no attention. My friends and I have gone through this
Just thank them for free advertising.
I'd be very happy if someone thought I was worthy enough to clip. I don't stream yet but you've just made me add another one to the goals list.
I guess there is some generational divide here, because to my mind it is obvious that someone shouldn’t post your content on their socials without first getting your permission. It gets tricky because once someone reaches a certain level of popularity, yeah, people are gonna do that. I dunno, seems like people have this attitude that you are obligated to be grateful because your fan is promoting you, but this assumes you want to be promoted. Not sure if you indicated your feelings on this, but I think a lot of streamers just want to chill with their friends, and think “going viral” is bullcrap. If it concerns you, then I’d gently ask the fan to ask for permission in the future. If it’s not big deal, then it’s no big deal for the fan to ask for permission. Your stream is your content. I understand the vibe of this subreddit is generally advice about how to grow your stream. Well, what about brand control? I’ve seen clips of streamers where things are taken out of context and the streamer looks like a jackass. In this case, it seems like there’s no issue. OK, I’m paranoid, but people can make clips that make streamers look like awful people, and then your brand is suddenly, “pathetic streamer who chastises chat for being broke” or whatever.
Many people go the "easier to ask forgiveness than permission" route, though.
It’s likely fair use and thus they would not have to take it down even if you asked. But like others I wonder why you would ask. Makes no sense.
It's clear that no one actually understands what "fair use" actually means. This is neither parody nor criticism, so it's not fair use. More info on that: https://youtu.be/1Jwo5qc78QU
why would you take down easy advertisement? especially when you are tagged on the post?!
Damn, most of the people on here apparently think content theft is just free advertising; it's not. If they uploaded a clip of yours without making any alterations, it doesn't fall under fair use copyright law and you have every right to have them take it down if you want. I have a YouTube channel where I will sometimes post content from my Twitch, and I certainly wouldn't want someone stealing content from me without my permission, even if they did give me credit. But ultimately the choice is up to you.
The people in here saying to leave it up do not seem to understand that by letting this person use your content without your consent sets a precedent for future things to happen. Ask them to take it down, and if they refuse, hit them with a DMCA. It is NEVER ok for someone to use YOUR content without consent
Just comment on the clip "Hey! I'm on this clip! This is from my twitch stream :)"
You are LEGALLY in the right to do whatever you want with your content, including takedown notices, cease and desist warnings, and lawsuits. You are within your rights to do so, if it's not parody or criticism, which this isn't. That said: that's a whole lot of effort and potentially money on a small thing, and you're probably not going to look good in public. So yeah, if you REALLY don't want the clip up, ask them to take it down, as that's free and effortless. But if they say no, you can report it to TikTok and see if they'll do anything. If they don't, see my second paragraph about time and money. Do you want to fight this or just let it ride and see what comes of it? But if you're fine with it, at least they gave credit. Final note: here's a very good video to watch regarding other people using your stuff. https://youtu.be/1Jwo5qc78QU
...irl people have to ask YOU to use your content for their purpose. So yes...it´s not only "okay"...
I would ask them to take it down because I wouldn’t want that to become a precedent that I allow people to take my content and reupload it. I would say I appreciate that they like my content but just not to do it again in the future.
I had someone take a steam of mine and upload it to youtube and didn't credit me or anything, they came in and wanted me to draw something and was confused if it were a commission or not. It wasn't! They were on other streamers doing the same thing to ask them to draw what I drawing... I have not heard from them in years so that us a good thing.
If you don't want clips of you on the internet, stop streaming.
Since they tagged you in it anyone that sees the clip will recognize thay the clip is from your steam and if they like it might even give you a watch. Personally I wouldn't worry about it, might even comment on the video to give it a small interaction bump. If they were trying to pass the clip off as their own, and this was a constant thing, and I were also trying to build a tiktok following of my own and this would cause some confusion then I might do something, but my first resort would probably still not be trying to have them take it down. More likely, I'd just want them to give credit where credit is due.
If they didn’t tag and just left you hanging with no credit, then I would say ask to take it down but they attributed it to you. I think it’s sweet that they thought that much of your clip to not only save it, but post it for other people to see and promote your page ◡̈
Anecdote time. Many years ago I worked for a death metal band. Someone made a fan video using one of their songs. The band loved it and it went viral, generating 4x more views than their official videos. Unfortunately the label made YouTube take the video down. This generated a ton of bad PR when the guy posted about it online. Eventually it got resolved and the video went back up. I think the band gave him free tickets to a show so they could meet him in person. If the clip doesn't show you in a bad light you're better off leaving it alone or being supportive. No reason to risk bad PR.
Lol
So long as they're properly tagging/linking your channel leave it up, it's free promotion.
As long as they are giving you credit I would let it ride! Free advertising
In my opinion, of they tagged you then it's similar to someone posting someone art on a random Facebook group but in the post, they name the artist. It's different from someone stealing content with no attribution since you are tagged and linked, so anybody wanting more of the same content knows where to find it. That said, it IS still your content and if you want to be more guarded on how it's distributed, that's your right and your choice to pursue, but I'd personally allow it.
Went thru this recently but I was cropped outta the clip entirely and not tagged. Shits rough.
Your edit warms my heart. Yeah, unless you are super famous and people are just using you for their own clout (And even then...), consider it an endorsement and free advertisement of your talents. I am jealous! :)
In addition to commenting to thank them, you could duet their post reacting/laughing. That’s both a thank you and an easy way for people to have your account t info right there. Just be prepared that if you duet it, you’re encouraging people to do it more. That’s great for spreading your content, just don’t want you to be surprised
I agree. As long as you got credit or tagged or I've been some say comment and thank them for the share.
I mean if u don’t want your viewers posting clips from ur live u can always send em this way
Please be careful with TikTok in this way, if footage of you is uploaded to an account other than your own sometimes when you post videos after the fact it strikes them for being stolen, I have seen this happen to a few friends when they’ve been posted or tried to move to new TikTok’s
Comment and collect those viewers.
Thats a free promo right there
Its oka but leave it be
