How to File a DMCA Takedown on XNXX
XNXX is among the highest-traffic adult sites on the internet, and it's a routine destination for ripped paid clips and leaked private videos. It belongs to the WGCZ network alongside XVideos, and the two share a removal process, which means one well-prepared filing session can clear your content from both. Here's the procedure.
Before you start
- Proof of ownership, the original file or the page where your content first appeared.
- A complete URL list. Search XNXX for your stage name, titles, and watermark text; then run the same searches on XVideos, because content stolen onto one WGCZ site is nearly always mirrored on the other.
- A monitored email address, replies and follow-up questions arrive there.
- Your filing identity. Notices signed personally carry your legal name; an authorized agent or takedown service can file under its own name instead.
Step 1: Find the removal channel in the site footer
Scroll to the bottom of any XNXX page and look for Content Removal, Report, or Legal/DMCA links, these lead to the current official process. Ignore removal emails circulating on forums; if the site's own pages don't list an address, don't use it.
Step 2: Decide between DMCA and the non-consensual route
Copyright owners should file a DMCA notice. But if you appear in the video, the non-consensual content route is open to you regardless of who owns the recording, no ownership paperwork, and typically a faster response. Since the 2020+ industry reforms, the major tubes act quickly on content tied to unverified uploaders when the person depicted objects.
Step 3: Assemble a complete DMCA notice
Include: a description of your original work and where it was first published; the exact URL of every infringing copy on XNXX; your (or your agent's) name, email, and address; a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you're the owner or authorized to act; and a typed signature.
Step 4: File the XVideos copies in parallel
Prepare a matching notice for the copies you found on XVideos. The shared WGCZ process means the same documentation works for both, just keep each site's URLs in its own notice so nothing falls through.
Step 5: Submit and archive everything
Send the notice via the footer channel, then save the notice text, your URL list, and any acknowledgment email. These records make follow-ups and repeat filings much faster.
Step 6: Verify removal and de-index
Re-check each URL after three to five business days. Follow up on anything still live, and submit the URLs to Google's copyright removal tool so search results for your name clean up too.
What happens after you file
Valid notices are generally honored within days, and repeat-infringer accounts can be banned. Uploaders can counter-notify, which delays restoration decisions and triggers a notification to you. Expect re-uploads under altered titles, that's the norm for popular leaks, so schedule recurring searches, or delegate the whole cycle to a takedown service like Rulta, which monitors XNXX and its sister sites continuously and files under its own name rather than yours.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I send an XNXX takedown request?
Use the links in the XNXX page footer labeled Content Removal, Report, or Legal/DMCA. XNXX shares its removal process with XVideos, since both are WGCZ network sites.
If my video is on both XNXX and XVideos, do I file twice?
The two sites share a removal pipeline, but list the URLs from each site explicitly. The safest approach is one notice per site, each with that site's URLs.
I'm in the video but didn't film it. Can I still get it removed?
Yes. Anyone depicted in content can use the non-consensual content reporting route, which doesn't require copyright ownership and is often faster than a DMCA notice.
Will the uploader learn my identity?
DMCA notices can be forwarded to the uploader with the complainant's name attached. Filing through an authorized agent or takedown service keeps your legal name off the notice.
How long does removal take?
Complete notices are usually actioned within a few business days. Missing information, vague URLs, no ownership statement, is the most common cause of delay.
