Methodology & Rights
How an item gets published
- Confirmed first. We publish an exact identification only when a brand, designer, stylist, production or retailer has stated it — or when the piece is unmistakable and we can point to why.
- Otherwise we label it. A close match is called a close match. An unknown is called unknown. We would rather publish less than mislead someone into buying the wrong thing.
- We show our reasoning. Every item says how we know.
- We date everything and update pages when prices, availability or streaming rights change.
Copyright and performers' rights
These are the rules we hold ourselves to, and they are not negotiable:
- No screenshots or frame captures from films, television or streaming — including frames taken from video hosted elsewhere. Those frames belong to their makers.
- Scenes are shown by embedding the official clip published by the studio or distributor, using the platform's own embed feature. Views and ad revenue go to the rightsholder, as they should.
- Product photography comes from the retailer or brand under a licence that permits it. If we have no licensed image, we publish none.
- We do not use a performer's name or likeness as a sales hook.Pages are titled by character and title. Performers are named in the text where it is factually necessary, and never in a way that suggests they endorse a product or this site.
Takedown policy
If you hold rights in material on this site — a studio, a distributor, a brand, a performer or their representative — and you want something removed, email us and we will remove it promptly and without dispute. We do not require a formal notice, a lawyer, or a legal argument. Write to z@zdimension.co.kr with a link to the page.
How we make money, and what it does not buy
We earn from advertising, and sometimes a commission when a reader buys through a link. Advertising is clearly labelled and kept separate from editorial content.
No brand can pay to be identified, recommended, or described favourably. If an item has no affiliate program — which is often the case with luxury pieces — we still name it, because naming it correctly is the whole point of the page.
How we grade an identification
Every item we identify carries one of three grades. The grade answers the only question that costs you money: if I buy this, am I buying the thing on screen?
- Exact piece
- The specific product is named by a primary source — the brand, the production, or the costume or production designer on the record. Buying it gets you the thing on screen.
- Brand only
- A primary source names the brand but not the model. You can buy the right label; nobody has established which piece. This is the most common grade, because designers name houses far more often than they name references.
- Unconfirmed
- Widely repeated with no primary source we could find. We list it so you know the claim exists — and know not to spend money on it.
The grade is assigned by us, against the definitions above. It is not supplied by a brand, a seller or a contributor, and nobody can pay to change one. That matters: elsewhere in this category, “perfect match” badges are applied by whoever submitted the listing, including replica sellers grading their own products.
Where we have no basis for a grade, an item carries no badge at all rather than a flattering one.
How we are funded
ScreenFinds is free to read and funded by advertising. We do not accept payment to include a product, to grade one more favourably, or to remove a caveat. No brand or studio sees a page before it is published. If we ever earn a commission on a link, that will be stated on the page carrying it.
What we will not publish
- Guesses presented as identifications.
- Screenshots, frame grabs, or images we are not licensed to use.
- Anything implying a performer, studio or brand endorses us.
- Plot leaks or material obtained from unauthorised sources.
Not affiliated
ScreenFinds is independent and is not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by any studio, streaming service, production company, brand or performer. Trademarks and titles are used descriptively to identify the works discussed.
