Copyright and credit

Every upload asks who originally made the resource and where it came from. Those answers are stored with it and shown on its page. A reviewer sees them before anything is approved, and an upload that claims someone else’s work as its uploader’s is refused.

Uploading something you did not make is allowed when it was released freely and the credit is honest. Passing it off as your own is not. The difference is the whole of this page.

• Paid or premium content, posted without the seller’s agreement.
• Leaked or unreleased work.
• Anything with the original author’s name stripped or replaced.
• Obfuscated files, which hide what the code does from everyone.

Use the takedown form. It opens a numbered case and a person reads it. You do not need an account.

If your work is here and you are happy for it to stay but the credit is wrong, say so through Report Content — correcting an attribution does not need a legal notice, and we would rather fix it than remove something people are using.

You can ask for your work not to be mirrored here at all, and that holds for future uploads rather than only the one you found. Tell us through the takedown form and say so plainly; the request is recorded against your name so a reviewer sees it next time.
