Do you need to register a copyright in a video
No. you don't need to register a copyright in a video. Having a copyright in a video means that you own it in the same way that you own a tangible property. Ownership allows you to decide how the video is being used and, in many cases, it enables you to stop the video’s distribution. In the UK, you don't need to register your copyright in a video anywhere but you will need to have a document that shows that the copyright in the video had been transferred to you.
We keep this document and whenever you need, you can use it as proof of ownership.
How to buy a copyright in a porn video
You can buy copyright in a porn video directly from the previous copyright owner. Often the owner of the copyright will be the production company or the individual who created the video. In other cases, copyright might have already been assigned or transferred to a third party, for example to a distribution company.
In cases where the video was created through a production company and the company had gone into administration, you might be able to buy the copyright from the Crown, which by default owns all the intellectual property rights which are unclaimed due to companies going bust.
What are the difficulties in buying copyright in porn videos
When buying copyright in porn videos, you are likely to face a number of challenges. For example, the fact that there are other actors in the film might mean that you cannot have a full copyright because the others might also want it or already own a share of the copyright. Another example for a difficulty in buying back copyright in a porn video is that the video might already be subject to licences.
Licences to use or to distribute a video are lower rights than copyright rights but a copyright might come subject to some licences that had already been granted. This means that you can still buy the copyright in the porn movie but if someone can show that they have previously been granted a licence to use or to distribute the video, you will need to either honour the licence or find a way to revoke it.

You gave me back my life!
The help that I received gave me tremendous relief. Removing sexual content from all over the internet after a long period of feeling debilitated has given me my life back. Thank you!
You helped me to overtake the most difficult moment of my life!
I don't know if you have the real notion of what just happened! You guys have helped me to overtake the most difficult moment of my life! You were the ones on my side when I couldn't find hope anywhere else! I felt I was being understood from day one. You understood the whole situation and you were capable of putting into words all the turmoil that was inside me. Even your patience, with my almost daily calls asking for updates, was overwhelming! Great team, great people! God bless you all. Thank you!"
Even just knowing the possible options put my mind at rest immensely.
'When I fell victim to a supposed friend and their use of a hidden camera while staying with them one weekend, I felt utterly betrayed, disgusted and scared of the implications. All sorts of things go through your mind, like 'what might the footage contain' and 'where might it end up', 'could it be used to blackmail me'. The police did not initially take it seriously, and were going to drop the case. I felt quite alone. It was then that I recalled the glowing praise which Yair had engendered from a friend who had already been helped by him, and had won a high profile and complex case against an internet stalker. I asked her for his details and gave him a call. The consultation fee was worth every penny. He was compassionate, knowledgeable and gave very clear advice, explaining carefully the options available and what outcomes may be achievable. It's almost impossible to put into words how much better I had felt after that Skype call. It felt like this massive problem for me had just become a massive potential problem for the perpetrator instead. Even just knowing the possible options put my mind at rest immensely.'
