Frequently asked questions

What is a DMCA takedown notice?

A DMCA takedown notice is a formal request to a hosting provider to remove content that infringes your copyright. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), hosts are legally required to act on valid notices or risk losing their safe harbor protection.

Where do I send the DMCA notice?

Send it to the hosting provider's designated DMCA agent — often listed at dmca.copyright.gov or in their Terms of Service. For Google, use their content removal tool. For social platforms, use their in-platform reporting system first.

What happens after I send a DMCA notice?

The host must "expeditiously" remove or disable the infringing content. They will also notify the alleged infringer, who can file a counter-notice if they believe the takedown is invalid.

Can I file a false DMCA notice?

No — submitting a false DMCA notice is illegal. Section 512(f) of the DMCA imposes liability for knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing. Only use this tool for genuine copyright infringement.

How DMCA takedowns work

The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) gives copyright owners a legal mechanism to request removal of infringing content from online platforms. When you send a properly formatted notice to a hosting provider's DMCA agent, they are legally obligated to act promptly or lose their "safe harbor" protection from copyright liability.

What makes a valid DMCA notice

A valid DMCA notice must identify the copyrighted work, identify the infringing URL, provide your contact information, include a good faith statement, include a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury, and bear your signature. Our generator includes all required elements under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).
