Report Abuse / DMCA
Last updated: August 2026
Fast2Share is a file-hosting service: our users upload their own files and we store them. We do not create, select, review or endorse what is uploaded. We act as an online service provider under the notice-and-takedown regime of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) and Article 14 of EU Directive 2000/31/EC, and we remove infringing or otherwise unlawful material as soon as we are properly notified of it.
1. Writing a proper notice
So we can act without going back and forth, your notice must contain all of the following:
- Your identification as the owner of the copyrighted work or of an exclusive right in it — or as a person authorised to act for that owner — together with a physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you believe is being infringed.
- The exact Fast2Share links to the material you are reporting — one full
https://…/f/…URL per file. We cannot act on a search term, a folder, a username or a third-party page that merely links to us. - Your contact details: name, postal address, phone number and email address. If you are acting for the rights holder, state your relationship to them (attorney, agent, distributor, anti-piracy vendor, and so on).
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the reported use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and — under penalty of perjury — that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the right you claim is being infringed.
2. What happens next
When we receive a proper notice — or otherwise become aware that content on the service is infringing or unlawful — we disable access to the reported files as quickly as we can. You do not need to wait for a confirmation before the link stops working; we confirm afterwards on the ticket your report created.
Because a file's bytes may be shared by several accounts holding the same content, blocking a reported link also blocks every other copy of those exact bytes on the service.
3. Repeat infringers
We keep a record of the accounts behind reported content. Accounts that repeatedly upload infringing material are suspended and terminated, and any remaining subscription time is forfeited. Uploading unlawful content also ends any affiliate or reseller earnings on the account.
4. Counter-notice
If your file was blocked and you believe your use of the material was lawful — you own it, you are licensed to share it, or the report was simply mistaken — you may send a counter-notice and ask for access to be restored. Reply on the ticket, or open a new one under Abuse / DMCA, and include:
- your identification of the blocked file and the link it used to have;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the file was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification;
- your name, address, phone number and email address; and
- your consent to the jurisdiction of a court where you reside, or where the service is established if you are outside that jurisdiction.
We follow the counter-notice procedure of the DMCA/EUCD and restore access where the law requires us to.
5. Child sexual abuse material and other serious harm
Child sexual abuse material is not a copyright matter and is not handled by the procedure above. It is removed immediately on discovery, the account is terminated, and the case is reported to the competent law-enforcement authorities. The same immediate action applies to content promoting terrorism, credible threats of violence, and malware.
Report it through the form under Abuse / DMCA with "urgent" in the subject.
6. False reports
A notice is a legal statement. Knowingly reporting material you have no right to report — or misrepresenting that content is infringing — can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. We also stop processing reports from senders who repeatedly file bad-faith notices.
