If someone uses your copyrighted material on Rumble without permission, you can file a formal takedown request by providing specific information to Rumble's copyright agent, and Rumble is required to respond under U.S. copyright law.

The DMCA process provides a legal mechanism for creators and rights holders to request removal of infringing content, but also exposes users whose content is incorrectly flagged to takedowns, with a counter-notice process available to dispute improper claims.
Creators can protect their content from infringement on Rumble through the DMCA process, but users whose content is incorrectly taken down can also file a counter-notice, which may restore the content if the original claimant does not pursue legal action.

"If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on the Service, please notify Rumble's copyright agent. For your complaint to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide the following information in writing: (1) An electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; (2) Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; (3) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing; (4) Information reasonably sufficient to permit Rumble to contact you; (5) A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized; (6) A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate.— Excerpt from Rumble's Rumble Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implements the notice-and-takedown requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which governs online service provider liability for copyright infringement. Compliance with DMCA safe harbor requirements under 17 U.S.C. Section 512 is necessary for Rumble to maintain its liability shield for user-uploaded infringing content. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. The DMCA process is a well-established legal framework and Rumble's implementation of a designated copyright agent and specified notice requirements is consistent with standard platform practice. Exposure arises primarily from improper handling of counter-notices or failure to act expeditiously on valid takedown requests. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU platforms are subject to the EU Copyright Directive (Article 17), which imposes upload filter obligations that differ from the U.S. DMCA notice-and-takedown model. EU-facing operations should be assessed separately for compliance with Article 17 obligations. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Content licensing partners and brands distributing content through Rumble should ensure their agreements address DMCA takedown risk and clarify responsibility for responding to infringing use of licensed materials. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should verify that Rumble's designated copyright agent registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is current, that internal takedown response workflows meet the 'expeditious' standard, and that the counter-notice process is documented and accessible to users.
