No, taking screenshots on OnlyFans is not illegal. Since you paid for the content, you can access and view it for as long as you want.

If you decide to take a screenshot, however, note that the content cannot be used to gain profit from it. Otherwise, if you share exclusive content even if you using the content for profit without the consent of the creator is considered a form of copyright infringement.

There are several ways in which OnlyFans protect content from copyright violators. Such content protection measures are crucial as they also contribute in ensuring the privacy of a content creator.

Some of the content protection methods OnlyFans use are as follows:

1. User Verification — Only verified OnlyFans users have access to content from an OnlyFans creator.

2. Access Control — Through paid subscription, OnlyFans limits the creator's audience to paying subscribers, which enhances creator privacy and reduces the likelihood of unauthorized sharing.

3. Digital Right Management (DRM) — DRM technologies indirectly protect the creators' intellectual property and help in limiting the dissemination of their content, thus maintaining the content creators' privacy.

4. Content Moderation — OnlyFans ensure that the content from the creators comply with the community guidelines and terms of service to prevent creators from inadvertently disclosing of personal information. This measure thus helps safeguard the privacy of the creators.
