Instagram Copyright Violations
Summary
Instagram repeatedly removes your licensed content, denying appeal options. Document interactions, consult an intellectual property lawyer, and consider legal action. For hacking and false claims, report to authorities and seek legal advice.Full Conversation
Yes. The platform Instagram continues to violate my rights as a license copyright holder which allows me to post copyrighted material over the airwaves in the same manner as a television station and as a radio station. I continue to add my license on my post on the physical picture of what I'm posting and in the description so every post has at least two indicators of my license allowing me to post the material and Instagram keeps taking down my material and making me dispute or appeal it which I do and every time they come back and they release the video back to me because I win the appeal. But now when Instagram takes my video down like they do weekly they are not including the option to appeal it in the notification to me so one they're violating my rights by taking down my material which I have a license to be able to post it in the first place. So I feel like they're discriminating against me because they're not even giving me the option to appeal like all of the other users have the ability to appeal when they have a dispute with one of instagram's actions towards them which now it takes me longer to go file a dispute because I have to contact customer service every time and they give me the same runaround and then when they approve my video to release it back to me the promotion that I was trying to promote is already gone and I miss out on potential customers being able to go to my events because they keep taking down my post and violating my rights what can I do
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. To better understand your case, could you please tell me where you're located? This might impact the legal remedies available to you.
I'm listed in Huntington Beach California

What do you mean by filing a formal complaint because I've been on with their customer service for the last hour trying to speak to a supervisor and they won't let me speak to a supervisor and they keep saying that rest assured that once my account gets viewed and they realize that the violations that I have which are minor will be overturned and then they'll release the video back to me which I'm saying is there is no violation that I caused I had the right to post it they violated my rights by taking the video down yet they're saying I'm the one who's the violator
Filing a formal complaint involves submitting a detailed report of your issue to Instagram. This can be done via their Help Center. This complaint should include all relevant details and evidence supporting your claim. If this doesn't resolve your issue, you may need to proceed legally.
Yeah is there something I can do about this situation Instagram took down my video and I disputed it and then submitted an appeal and won they released the video back to me so I took that same video and reposted it again and they took it down again and violated me so I disputed it again and submitted the appeal and they didn't accept the appeal on the second time around saying that I'm violating copyrights and won't accept my license even though I've already had probably * disputes and one all of them with my license and now they've taken away the option for me to dispute on the notification there used to be a button that I could click and submit an appeal and they don't give me that option anymore yet they give the other Instagram users that option
I'm sorry for your frustration, ****. Here are your options:
- Document all interactions, disputes, and appeals.
- Consult a lawyer specializing in intellectual property.
- You may need to file a lawsuit if Instagram continues not to recognize your license.

Thank you I have another issue and want to see if you can help me with this
Of course, ****. I'm here to help. Please go ahead and describe your other issue.
My ex-fiance who used to be physically abusive to me and verbally abusive lied to the cops and said I hit her and said I was hacking her phone and computer and was threaten her so she got a restraining order against me because I caught her cheating on me and she got mad at me for catching her cheating. In the documents for the courts out of the * points that she used to reference why she needs a restraining order against me * out of the * were all fabricated thighs which I have the proof to show that she's lying on every single one of them. My problem is I filed a restraining order against her and in our hearing the judge only heard her restraining order case and then at the end of hers decided he's heard enough and believed her lies and went ahead and made a ruling in her favor and through my restraining order in the trash not even going through the restraining order showing that I had a police report in there about her hitting me with her car and driving with me a hundred feet on the hood until she f***** me off and pictures of all the physical damage that she did to my face and body when she would hit me with her closed fist on top of that the evidence showing that she was the one who was hacking my computer and my phone not me hacking her and all the lies about the points that she would make on her timeline of events she would only include when I would retaliate against her as the violent actions that I'm doing instead of her initiating the violence making me look like I was the aggressor and she was the victim and I just found out that she is using a third party private eye service to hack my phone and they are having my calls forwarded to this private investigator service what can I do because I lost a job offer when they saw that I had the domestic violence restraining order because it was for a management position and they can't have someone with domestic violence issues managing women so it's impacting my ability to get a high paying job because she was lying. And also the judge granted her compensation for a phone she said that I broke install from her which I didn't she actually gave me the phone and the phone is still in *% working condition so she lied about me stealing it and breaking it and their garden garnish my wages and make me pay $* to replace the phone when I shouldn't have to replace the phone because she lied about it but the IRS already sent me a thing saying that they're going to garnish my wages so how do I have her held accountable for committing perjury
I understand this is a difficult situation, ****. To clarify, have you consulted with a lawyer about these issues yet?
No I'm currently not working and I tried to call legal aid to get help but she had used legal aid as her attorney to file the restraining order against me so legal aid won't help me because they helped her so basically I might have to represent myself or I need to find a lawyer that could do a pro bono but I don't know what to even go tell the lawyer so I'm looking to see if you can help me with an outline or a draft that I could take to the lawyer to discuss each incident or point and reference cases that will help support my situation
I'm sorry to hear about your circumstances, ****. Here's a general outline you could follow when discussing this with a lawyer:
*. Explain the restraining order and the false allegations.
*. Show the evidence you have that refutes these allegations.
*. Discuss the physical abuse you suffered (include police report and photos).
*. Mention the impact on your employment due to the restraining order.
*. Explain the issue with the falsely claimed phone and wage garnishment.

Are you familiar with the Cassie verse Sean Combs abuse case?
I can provide general information on public cases. Could you please specify what aspect of the Cassie vs. Sean Combs case you're interested in?
Well she sued him for the abuse that he did to her so I wanted to be able to file a lawsuit against her seeking compensation for damages for her hitting me physically with her fist many times her hitting me with her car and then lying to the insurance company and saying that I jumped on top of her car and for lying to the cops two times getting me arrested and then making me pay $*,* and $*,* for bail and attorney fees to fight my charges that she made up and lied to the cops about which the district attorney dropped both cases because I showed all of the evidence that she was lying so I want to recoup the *,* and my property that she never let me recover from her house because I was living with her and for mental stress in anguish.
I understand your situation, ****. In order to provide you with the most relevant information, could you please tell me in which state this occurred?
On top of that she also stole my wallet with $* in it and two $* gift cards for my kids and she claims she threw it in the bushes by my house but I never got the wallet back and it also had my social security card and my identity has been stolen and someone has tried to file a fake tax return with my information for *-* * and * all which happened after she stole my wallet which contained my driver's license and my social security card plus $* and $* gift cards
