A DMCA takedown service for anything you made

What a service does, step by step

1. 1

   Confirms it is the same work

   For text, by measuring how much of your page is on theirs. For a video, photo, listing, track or file, by opening the copy beside your original. A notice says, under penalty of perjury, that the material is yours, so this step is not optional.

2. 2

   Records how you own it

   Original files, a dated capture, a contract, a license or a registration. Whichever applies goes on the case before anything is filed.

3. 3

   Considers fair use

   Since Lenz v. Universal, a rights holder has to consider fair use before sending a notice. Commentary, criticism, parody and news reporting are where most of the risk sits.

4. 4

   Finds the recipient and the route

   The host, the platform, the marketplace or the store, and the specific form or agent address that counts for that provider today.

5. 5

   Files, then follows up

   Sends the notice, records what was sent and when, and follows the reply, the removal, any counter-notice, and whether the copy comes back.

Six questions to ask any takedown service before you pay

When am I billed?

Up front per notice, or only when the copy comes down. The first puts the risk of a provider saying no on you. Ask what happens to your money if the copy stays up.

Who signs the notice?

Whoever signs it makes the sworn statement, and under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) a knowingly false notice is actionable against any person. A service signing as your agent shares that exposure, which is a good reason for it to be careful.

Will you show me the evidence?

You should see each copy, your original beside it, and a live link to check it yourself. A count of matches with nothing behind it is not evidence.

What do you decline?

A service that never declines anything is filing on trademark disputes, on fair use, and on work the client does not own. Ask for the list.

What will the other side see?

Hosts can forward notices in full. YouTube shows the claimant's name where the video was. Etsy shows the seller the reporter's name and email. Google publishes notices to the Lumen database. You should hear this before you authorize anything.

Which countries do you file in?

A US notice is the right tool for a US provider. Canada runs notice-and-notice and the EU runs under the Digital Services Act, and a US-style notice there is a different, weaker instrument.

What no service can promise

Removal is decided by the provider. A service can make a notice complete, accurate and well routed, and that improves the odds; it does not decide the outcome. Nobody can guarantee removal, and nobody can honestly give you a date, because a host can answer in an afternoon or never.

The other side can respond with a counter-notice. Under § 512(g) the provider then restores the material in 10 to 14 business days unless you file a court action. A service can tell you the day that happens; it cannot stop it. And taking a page out of Google Search is a separate notice from taking it off the site it is on: the first hides it, the second removes it.

How to start with us

If the copy is of your website, start with the free scan: it reads your pages and finds where your text and photos appear elsewhere. For anything else, open a case and paste the link to each copy, with a link to your original or a line on where it lives. You will see each one in your portal, priced, before anything is filed, and you approve them one at a time.

If you would rather do it yourself, the tools are free: the host lookup tells you where a website notice goes, the notice generator writes all six parts, and the fair use check walks you through the four factors before you accuse anyone.
