What Should You Do If Your OnlyFans Content Is Used Illegally?

In today’s digital era, OnlyFans has become a platform that allows anyone from ordinary people to celebrities, influencers, and creators  to share their own content freely and legally, under their full consent.

However, in reality, many creators have faced unexpected violations where their photos, videos, or other content from OnlyFans are reuploaded or distributed on other platforms without permission. These materials may be shared on pornographic sites, private forums, or even sold by third parties.
Such actions clearly constitute a violation of image rights and computer laws.

Who Owns the Rights to OnlyFans Content?

Under copyright law, the creator of the content or photograph is the rightful owner of that work.
Even though the content is uploaded to OnlyFans, the ownership and rights to the images or videos still belong to the creator, unless there is a specific contract transferring those rights.

Therefore, if someone uses your OnlyFans images without permission, such as:

• Downloading and reposting them elsewhere
• Editing, reproducing, or altering the content
• Using the images to defame or insult you

They are committing both civil and criminal offenses.

Common Cases of OnlyFans Content Violations

1. Reposting images or videos to porn sites or private groups without permission
→ Violates the Computer Crimes Act, Section 14(4) for importing obscene data into a computer system.

2. Editing faces or creating deepfake videos for sale
→ Constitutes defamation by publication and computer data forgery.

3. Sharing intimate photos of an ex-partner to humiliate them
→ Violates laws on extortion, intimidation, and invasion of privacy.

4. Claiming to own or selling another creator’s content
→ Violates copyright law and may lead to civil damages.

What to Do If Your OnlyFans Content Is Misused?

1. Don’t stay silent or underestimate the situation.
Online violations can seriously affect your image, income, and long-term reputation.

2. Immediately collect all evidence:

• Screenshots
• Website URLs where the content was shared
• Dates, times, and usernames of the violators

These will help your lawyer file a formal complaint quickly.

3. Consult a lawyer right away.
Many victims are unsure how to begin or which legal route to take. Consulting a lawyer ensures you can take swift legal action to protect your rights.

Legal Protections for Personal Content

Many people don’t realize that private photos and videos are personal data under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
If someone discloses or uses this data without consent, they may be charged under:

• Criminal Code, Sections 326–328: Defamation by publication
• Computer Crimes Act, Section 14: Uploading obscene or false information
• PDPA B.E. 2562: Using personal data without consent punishable by imprisonment and/or fines

Don’t Be Afraid to Seek Legal Help  Your Image Is Your Right

Many creators, especially women, hesitate to seek help out of fear of judgment or public exposure. But legally, you are the victim, and the law fully protects you.

Having a lawyer handle the matter early helps prevent escalation and ensures efficient legal resolution, such as:

• Requesting a court order to shut down websites or accounts sharing your images
• Claiming damages from violators
• Preventing further data leaks
