We have now changed Spymac's anonymous copyright reporting to encourage more members to report others who upload someone else's creation. If you have seen a video, picture or audio clip that does not belong to the member who uploaded it, you can now report it using the anonymous system.
This feature was added to increase the quality of competition, leveling out the playing field between those who upload original material, and those who do not. With the new system, we can eliminate those who are uploading content, enabling those with original content to win more money!
We need more people reporting in order to keep the site filled with original content. We're encouraging all of you to do your part in making Spymac the place to be for new talent! If you're on Spymac to simply upload non-original content, there are other sites that would be more suited to your needs. On Spymac, we're looking for stars... not grandma-falling-off-the-chair clips that have been circulating the net for years!
How it works
When viewing an upload, there is now a "Report" link located to the right of the video, picture or audio clip. After clicking on the link, you'll be taken to a page where you can submit evidence - such as links, images, and other relevant information - to let us know that the upload was stolen from another person or site. The more information you provide, and the more specific that it is, the faster we can process the report.
Be warned: the report system has also gotten more strict and serious. If a user's content gets reported and he/she admits it is copyrighted or he/she doesn't respond to the complaint, the content will now be completely deleted from the system (whereas previously, it was simply made private).
Spymac is very serious about copyrights. In order to be eligible to receive money for your uploads, promotional material or creative commons work of others is not allowed. For more information on acceptable content on Spymac, please review the Terms of Use: http://www.spymac.com/tos/
