Someone reposted your work without permission. We draft a legally-formatted DMCA takedown notice, send it to the right host, CDN, or search engine, and follow up until the content is down.
Self-help & automation · Not a law firm · Not legal advice
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act gives you, as the copyright owner, the right to demand that a website host or platform remove content that infringes your work. When you send a valid DMCA notice, the host must act expeditiously to take the material down to keep its own legal safe harbor. That is what makes a DMCA takedown so effective: hosts, CDNs, and search engines have a strong legal incentive to comply quickly rather than defend someone else's infringement.
A takedown notice that hosts will act on must identify the copyrighted work, identify the exact infringing URL(s), provide your contact information, and include the two required statements: a good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized, and a statement — under penalty of perjury — that the information is accurate and you are the owner or authorized agent. It must be signed. Miss any of these elements and a host can lawfully ignore it. We assemble every required element correctly the first time.
The notice goes to the service provider's designated DMCA agent, not just a generic contact form. For a stolen image or article, that may be the site's host; for a search result, it is the search engine's removal channel; for reposted video, the platform's copyright team. Finding the right registered agent, using the right submission path, and phrasing the notice so it is acted on — rather than bounced — is most of the work. We identify the correct recipient for each infringement and route the notice there.
An infringer can file a DMCA counter-notice claiming the takedown was mistaken, which can put the content back up unless you escalate. We help you understand your options when that happens, prepare a documented record of your ownership and the original publication, and lay out the next steps clearly. This is self-help support — for a court filing you should have a licensed attorney review your position.
Stolen photography or artwork reposted without a license, scraped articles and blog posts republished on content farms, pirated courses or PDFs, leaked or reposted video, and product images copied by competitors. If you created it and someone is hosting a copy without permission, a properly formatted DMCA notice is usually the fastest route to removal.
You give us the original work and the infringing URLs. We draft a complete, legally-formatted DMCA notice, identify and send it to the correct designated agent for the host or platform, and follow up until the content comes down or the host responds. One-off notices or ongoing protection for creators who get hit repeatedly.
Draft a notice that identifies your copyrighted work and the exact infringing URLs, includes your contact details, states your good-faith belief and accuracy under penalty of perjury, and is signed — then send it to the host or platform's designated DMCA agent (not a generic contact form). We prepare and route the notice correctly so it is actually acted on.
Hosts are required to act 'expeditiously,' and many remove infringing content within a few days of receiving a valid notice. Search engines and large platforms often process within a similar window. Slow or unresponsive hosts may require follow-up, which we handle as part of the service.
No. Copyright protection exists from the moment you create an original work, so you can send a DMCA takedown notice without formal registration. Registration is required to sue for infringement in U.S. federal court, but not to demand removal under the DMCA.
A counter-notice can restore the content unless you escalate, typically by pursuing the matter in court. We help you document your ownership and understand your options, but a lawsuit or formal filing should be reviewed by a licensed attorney — Novam Legal provides self-help support, not legal representation.
