Legal & Compliance
Last updated: 2026-09-22
Adults Only (18+/21+)
KnockOffs (knockoffs.io) contains sexually explicit material intended solely for consenting adults. By accessing this site you affirm that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) and that it is legal to view such material where you live. If you are a minor, or if such material is illegal in your location, leave now.
Parental Controls & Blocking This Site
Every page on KnockOffs is labeled with the RTA (“Restricted To Adults”) meta tag, so any RTA-aware parental-control or content-filtering tool recognizes and blocks this site automatically — no manual configuration needed. If you would like to make sure a minor cannot reach adult content, you can also:
- Turn on the built-in content controls in your operating system — Screen Time on iOS/macOS, Family Safety on Windows, or Family Link on Android/ChromeOS.
- Enable adult-content filtering at the network level with a family-safe DNS resolver such as OpenDNS FamilyShield or Cloudflare for Families (1.1.1.3).
- Install a dedicated parental-control app (for example Qustodio, Net Nanny, or Bark) and add knockoffs.io to its blocklist.
These tools are provided by third parties; KnockOffs is not affiliated with them and lists them only as a convenience.
We Host Nothing — Aggregation & Embedding Only
KnockOffs does not host, store, upload, produce, or own any of the videos displayed. KnockOffs is an automated index and search layer. Every video is played via an embedded player (iframe) served directly by the third-party website on which it is hosted. Video files never pass through, and are never stored on, KnockOffs' servers.
Images are handled differently, and not all in the same way. Most thumbnails load directly from the site hosting the video, or from the public scene database the listing was matched against. A few hosting sites refuse to show their thumbnails on other websites; for those, KnockOffs' server fetches the thumbnail from the hosting site and passes it on to your browser. Many performer portraits are copies kept on KnockOffs' own server, so that the database they come from is not asked for the same image on every page view. KnockOffs does not produce or own any of these images.
Apart from those portrait copies, what KnockOffs stores is metadata only — titles, tags, performer names, and hyperlinks/embed addresses that point to publicly available pages on third-party sites. This is functionally the same as a search engine or a directory of links. KnockOffs exercises no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the content, availability, or practices of those third-party sites.
18 U.S.C. § 2257 Record-Keeping Compliance Statement
KnockOffs is not a "producer" (primary or secondary) of any of the content accessible through this site, as that term is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and 28 C.F.R. § 75. KnockOffs does not create, edit, host, or upload content; it only links to and embeds material hosted by others.
Accordingly, the records required by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 for any content are maintained by the original producers and/or the third-party websites that host that content. Please refer to the 2257 statement on the originating website (reachable via each video's source) for that information. All performers depicted were represented to the originating producers as being 18 years of age or older at the time of production.
DMCA / Copyright — Takedown Requests
Because KnockOffs hosts no files, it cannot remove media from the originating site — that must be requested from the host where the content actually resides. However, KnockOffs will promptly remove the corresponding link/embed from its indexupon a valid notice.
To request removal of a link, use the takedown form and include:
- identification of the copyrighted work and the specific KnockOffs URL(s) linking to it;
- your contact information;
- a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are the owner or authorized agent;
- your physical or electronic signature.
Valid notices are actioned (link removed from the index) as quickly as practicable.
KnockOffs is an information location tool under 17 U.S.C. § 512(d): it indexes and links to material hosted by third parties and stores no copy of any work.
Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), KnockOffs has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating access, in appropriate circumstances, for repeat infringers.
- Each valid takedown notice is recorded against the third-party source site whose material was linked, with the date and the URL(s) removed.
- A source that is the subject of repeated valid notices is delisted: its links are removed from the index and the automated indexer is blocked from adding further material from that source.
- KnockOffs hosts nothing and has no user uploads, so there are no publishing users to terminate — the equivalent sanction is permanent removal of the infringing source from the index.
- Notices believed to be abusive or materially misrepresentative may be rejected; see counter-notification below.
Counter-Notification
If you believe a link was removed in error or through misidentification, you may send a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) through the takedown form (choose “Other legal request”) including: identification of the removed link and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice carries liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
Content Removal / Performer Requests
If you are a performer or rights holder and want a link removed from the index — for any reason, including non-consensual or wrongly-attributed content — use the takedown form with the URL(s). We remove on request, no copyright claim required.
Who Operates This Site
Not yet filled in. EU rules generally expect a service provider to be identifiable: a name, a postal address and a contact point. Until the operator details below are completed this section is incomplete, and that is a gap rather than a position.
Operator: [legal name or registered entity]
Address: [postal address]
Contact: takedown and request form
Notice & Action — How to Get Something Removed
Use the takedown and content-report form. It needs no account, it records your notice with a reference number, and it reaches the operator within one processing cycle — normally under three hours.
Anyone may use it: a rights holder, a performer, someone depicted, or a representative. You do not need a copyright claim to ask for a listing about yourself to be removed.
What we can and cannot do: removing a listing removes it from this index. It does not delete the video, because the file lives on the third-party site that hosts and serves it. For the file itself you must contact that host, and we will point you to it where we can.
Personal Data — What We Hold and Your Rights
Review pending. This section describes what the software actually stores, verified against the live database. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer, and the controller identity above is still blank.
What is stored on our side, and nothing else:
- a count of how many times each listing was opened;
- the text of searches: the words searched and when, and — for searches made in the site's own search box — which section was searched and how many results came back. Nothing about who searched is stored with them: no IP address, no browser or device details and no location. Search entries are deleted after 30 days;
- if you vote on a video, the vote, together with a random identifier your browser generates for itself;
- if you send a notice or report through the site, what you typed into it — including the name and email address you give — so that it can be acted on and answered;
- if you choose to sync devices, a record keyed to a code you generate, holding only your own lists.
Separately, the proxy server in front of the site keeps a short technical log of requests — network address, time, the address requested (which can include a search) and browser — that is overwritten as it fills.
To apply regional restrictions, the site determines the country — and, in the United States, the state — that your network address belongs to, and whether that address belongs to a United States mobile carrier's network. For some address ranges it uses the locations that the networks operating them publish. That is used to answer the request and is not stored. IP geolocation by DB-IP.

Infrastructure: the site is served from a server run by a hosting provider, which handles the network traffic to and from it: [hosting provider — not yet filled in].
What never leaves your browser: favourites, watch history, blocked items and preferences are kept in your own browser's storage unless you deliberately sync them.
There are no accounts, no advertising or analytics trackers, and nothing is sold or shared with third parties for marketing.
To ask what is held about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted, use the request form and choose "Personal data request". Because we hold no identifying account data, the practical scope of such a request is usually a notice you sent or a sync record you can identify.
If you are in the EU or EEA you may also complain to your national data protection authority. In Sweden that is the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).
Terms of Use
KnockOffs is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. Links and embeds point to third-party sites governed by their own terms; KnockOffs is not responsible for them. You agree to use the site lawfully and not to rely on it as authoritative as to any content's legality, accuracy, or rights status. KnockOffs may change or remove any listing at any time.
Privacy
KnockOffs does not require accounts and does not collect personal information for its core function. Note that embedded third-party players and thumbnail hosts may set their own cookies and receive your IP address when their content loads — that data is governed by those third parties' privacy policies, not KnockOffs'.
