Every video on Weekly Most Views represents hours of planning, filming and editing. As our community grows, so does our responsibility to protect that work. Today we are introducing a dedicated Copyright Center: a clear, fair process for reporting suspected copyright issues and for resolving them without punishing creators unfairly.
Why this matters for creators
Recognition only means something when it is earned with original work. A transparent copyright process protects creators whose content is reused without permission, and it equally protects creators from mistaken or bad-faith claims. Both sides deserve to be heard.
A clear way to report
Anyone who believes their work appears on WMV without permission can now use the public reporting form on our Copyright page. Reports point to the specific links involved and can include supporting files, which are stored privately and are only visible to the review team. Every report receives a reference number.
Careful, reversible review
When a report is reviewed, action is taken on individual files only — never on an entire profile by default. A file under review can be temporarily hidden from public view while the case is assessed. Nothing is deleted, and weekly results, standings and earned points are not changed by a copyright case. If a report turns out to be unfounded, the file simply returns.
Your right to respond
- Creators are notified when one of their files is involved in a case.
- Each case has a private page where creators can see what was reported.
- Creators can submit an appeal with context, such as licences or proof of ownership.
- Every staff decision is recorded in an internal audit history.
Fair for everyone
Our team reviews each case individually. Repeated confirmed issues are tracked, and misuse of the reporting process is taken seriously too. The goal is simple: a stage where original creators can shine with confidence.
Original work deserves recognition — and protection.
