Copyright & Content Ownership βš–οΈπŸ·

What you need to own before you sell it, what supporters get, and what to do if your work is stolen.

Written by 🐽 Support Piggy 🐽

Short version: your content stays yours, and you must own everything you sell. βš–οΈ


You keep your rights βœ…

Selling content on Spenny Piggy doesn't transfer ownership to us. Your work is yours. We host it, deliver it, and take payment for it β€” we don't own it and we don't claim rights over it.

Take something down, close your account, move on β€” it's still your work.


What you must own before listing πŸ“Œ

βœ… You created it, or you have a licence permitting resale
βœ… Everyone appearing in it consented, and is over 18
βœ… No music you don't have rights to β€” this catches more creators than anything else
βœ… No footage, images, fonts or designs you aren't licensed for
βœ… No brand logos or trademarked material without permission

⚠️ "I found it online" is not ownership. Neither is "I credited them."


Music, specifically 🎡

The single most common rights problem on any creator platform.

Using a track in a video you're selling is a commercial use β€” different rules from posting to social. A song that's fine on Instagram can become a copyright claim the moment you charge for the video it's in.

Use properly licensed music, or content you have explicit commercial rights to. Royalty-free doesn't always mean commercially free β€” read the licence. 🎧


What supporters get πŸ”“

When someone buys your content they get a personal licence to view and keep it. Not ownership, not resale rights, not permission to redistribute.

They can: view it, download it, keep it permanently βœ…
​They can't: resell it, redistribute it, post it publicly, or claim it as theirs ❌

Stated at purchase, and enforceable.


If your work is stolen 🚨

Someone's reselling it on Spenny Piggy β†’ report it through the chat, flagged urgent, with the listing and proof it's yours. One of the fastest routes to a suspension on this platform.

Someone's posted it elsewhere β†’ outside our platform, but you're the rights holder and can issue a takedown to the host. We'll provide your records β€” timestamps, upload dates, delivery logs β€” as evidence of when you created and published it. πŸ“Š

Someone's impersonating you β†’ report immediately. See Impersonation & Reporting 🚨🐷.


Protecting yourself πŸ’‘

βœ… Keep your originals β€” raw files, project files, higher-resolution versions
βœ… Your upload timestamps are evidence. They prove when you had it.
βœ… Watermark previews, not the paid version
βœ… Never deliver off-platform β€” you lose the delivery record, and the record is your proof
βœ… Keep your licences for any third-party material


Common questions πŸ€”

"Can I sell the same content elsewhere too?"
Yes. It's yours. We don't ask for exclusivity.

"What if a supporter shares my content?"
Report it β€” they've breached the licence. We'll act on the account and support you against the host.

"Can I use AI-generated content?"
You must have the rights to what you sell and be able to stand behind it. Check the terms of whatever tool you used β€” many restrict commercial use.

"Someone's using my photo on their profile."
Report it as impersonation, with proof. 🚨


TL;DR 🎯

  1. Your content stays yours β€” we don't claim ownership

  2. You must own or be licensed for everything you list

  3. Music is the big one. Commercial use needs a commercial licence. 🎡

  4. Supporters get a personal licence β€” not resale rights

  5. Stolen work? Report it. Your upload records are your evidence. πŸ“Š

Own it, list it, keep it. βš–οΈπŸ·
