RC Crash Crew hosts a lot of member-created content — photos, forum posts, wiki articles, build logs, marketplace listings, and files. This page explains what to do if something posted here infringes your copyright or trademark.
Filing a copyright complaint
If you believe content on RC Crash Crew infringes your copyright, send a notice through our Contact page with the subject line "Copyright complaint" and include all of the following:
Your identification. Your name, and (if you are not the rights holder yourself) a statement that you are authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf.
The work. A clear description of the copyrighted work you believe is infringed, and where reasonably possible a link to an original or authorized copy of it.
The location. The exact URL(s) on rccrashcrew.com where the infringing material appears.
A good-faith statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
An accuracy statement. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
Your signature. A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is sufficient).
We review every complete notice and, where it is valid, remove or disable access to the material and notify the member who posted it.
Counter-notification
If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake — for example, the material is not infringing, or you have permission to use it — you can submit a counter-notice through the same Contact channel with the subject line "Copyright counter-notice," including: your identification and contact information, identification of the material and where it appeared before removal, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the US, an appropriate judicial body) and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original complaint.
Unless the original complainant informs us they have filed a court action, we may restore the material after a reasonable waiting period.
Repeat infringers
An account that receives multiple valid copyright complaints will be suspended or permanently banned, at our discretion, regardless of the account's trust level or history on the site.
False notices
Submitting a knowingly false copyright complaint or counter-notice can carry real legal liability for the person who submits it. Only file a notice if you genuinely hold or represent the rights involved.
Trademark complaints
If you believe a business name, logo, or listing on RC Crash Crew infringes your trademark — including a claimed business listing — send a notice through our Contact page with the subject line "Trademark complaint," describing your mark, your registration or rights in it, and the exact page where the issue appears. See also our Business Listings & Shop Claims Policy for how business pages and claims work.
A note on video content
RC Crash Crew never hosts video files directly — our Videos feature only embeds links from YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, and Streamable. A copyright issue with an embedded video should generally be reported to the platform actually hosting that video, though we will still remove an embed link from our own pages on request.
