MyRoomz Creator Copyright Protection & Enforcement Guide
Introduction
At MyRoomz Pty Ltd, we empower Australian Creators by giving them control and ownership of the Content they produce and share on our platform. This guide outlines in high level terms how copyright works under Australian law, how to protect your Content, what to do if your work is stolen, and how MyRoomz supports you.
Words used as defined terms in this guide but not defined take their meaning from the Terms of Use.
Under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), Creators automatically own the copyright to any original Content they create. This includes:
Videos
Photographs
Voice recordings
Livestreams
Written Content, text, captions, or original scripts
You do not need to register for copyright in Australia—it exists as soon as your original work is created and recorded in some way (e.g., photo taken, video recorded, etc.).
Creators must not upload Content they do not fully control or Content bound by exclusive licensing agreements with third parties.
By uploading Content to MyRoomz, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to:
Host, display, and stream your Content within our platform
Use your Content for promotion or platform features (with your permission)
This license does not transfer ownership of your copyright. You remain the rights-holder.
We recommend these best practices:
Use watermarks: Add your username or “MyRoomz” ID visibly on Content
Avoid third-party logos or music to prevent accidental copyright claims
Keep backups with date stamps
Add metadata to your files (e.g., date created, author name)
MyRoomz provides a built-in watermarking tool for Creators. This discourages unauthorised sharing.
MyRoomz may implement optional Content fingerprinting in the future to detect reuploads and assist Creators in tracking unauthorised sharing outside the platform.
If you discover your Content being shared outside MyRoomz without permission:
Gather evidence: Take screenshots or video with visible URLs
Email takedown@myroomz.co with:
Your username and account email
Link to the stolen Content
Proof of original ownership (e.g. file metadata, upload date, screenshots)
We will issue a takedown notice to the hosting website based on your complaint
We may assist further by reporting it to:
The eSafety Commissioner via their NCII portal
Law enforcement if required
We will use reasonable endeavours to investigate and act within 72 hours of receiving a valid complaint. MyRoomz may prioritise reports involving non-consensual intimate images, minors, large-scale piracy or law-enforcement referrals and may decline to take action where the evidence provided is incomplete or the material is hosted entirely off-platform.
We strictly prohibit:
Uploading or creating Content using AI or synthetic tools to impersonate others
Using a person’s image, voice, or likeness without Consent
Altering real Content to appear like another individual
This may violate not only copyright law but also privacy and impersonation laws under Australian criminal codes.
If Content includes more than one person, all participants must provide signed Consent, and any revenue-sharing agreements are the sole responsibility of the Creator(s). MyRoomz accepts no liability for l disputes that may arise between Creators or other persons involved in Content.
Subscribers are granted personal viewing rights only. They must not:
Share, record, or download Content
Repost your work anywhere
Claim Content as their own
Violations may lead to:
Immediate account ban
Legal reporting
Possible civil or criminal penalties
MyRoomz may also withhold or reverse Creator payouts connected to infringing activity, or require the Creator to provide additional proof of ownership, before releasing funds.
Accounts that are the subject of repeated valid takedown notices may be permanently suspended under our repeat infringer policy.
Creators may report misuse or copyright violations at any time to:
Email: support@myroomz.co or takedown@myroomz.co
In-platform report tool (coming soon)
If you disagree with a takedown or infringement claim against you, you can submit a Counter Notice, including:
Your details
Why you believe the claim is incorrect
Supporting documentation
We will assess and escalate as necessary.
Refunds will not be issued due to Content takedown claims unless required by law. All disputes should follow the takedown and appeal process.
If necessary, you may also pursue legal enforcement via:
Appropriate Federal Court jurisdiction (for civil claims)
eSafety Commissioner for NCII
ACORN or AFP for criminal copyright theft or impersonation
You may also wish to consult an intellectual property lawyer. MyRoomz can provide a legal referral if requested.
This guide is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. For personalised legal matters, seek assistance from a licensed Australian intellectual property lawyer.
This Guide does not limit MyRoomz’s rights under its Copyright Infringement and Takedown Policy, which prevails in the event of inconsistency.
