General DMCA Questions

What is a DMCA takedown notice?

+

A DMCA takedown notice is a legal request sent to website owners or hosting providers to remove copyrighted content that has been used without permission. It's based on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and provides a streamlined process for copyright holders to protect their intellectual property online.

How long does the takedown process take?

+

Most DMCA takedown notices are processed within 24-48 hours. However, the actual removal time depends on how quickly the website owner or hosting provider responds. In our experience, 85% of legitimate takedown requests result in content removal within 72 hours.

Do I need to register my copyright before filing a takedown?

+

No, copyright protection exists automatically when you create original work. However, having registered copyright provides additional legal benefits and makes the takedown process more straightforward. We can help you with copyright registration if needed.

What information do you need to file a takedown notice?

+

We need: 1) Proof of ownership of the copyrighted material, 2) URLs of the infringing content, 3) Your contact information, 4) A description of the copyrighted work, and 5) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is unauthorized.

What happens if the website ignores the takedown notice?

+

If a website ignores a valid DMCA takedown notice, they lose their safe harbor protection under the DMCA. We can escalate the matter by contacting their hosting provider, payment processors, or pursuing legal action if necessary.

Can I file a DMCA takedown for content on social media?

+

Yes, major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube have their own DMCA takedown processes. We're experienced in working with all major platforms and can help you navigate their specific requirements.
