Someone reposted your work without permission. We prepare a DMCA takedown notice, send it to the host, CDN, or search engine, and follow up. Hosts decide whether to remove content.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act gives you, as the copyright owner, a way to ask a website host or platform to remove content that infringes your work. Hosts that want to keep the DMCA's safe harbor have a process for these notices, which is why a properly prepared notice is often the most direct route. Each host decides how and when to act.
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. A notice missing these elements may be ignored. We include each element, and you see the sworn statement word for word before you pay.
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 take further steps. 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 prepare a DMCA notice with the required elements, send it to the host or platform's designated agent, and follow up twice. Hosts decide whether to remove content, so removal isn't guaranteed. 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.
Timing is set by each site, and we can't predict it. Some respond within days, some take weeks, and some never act. Slow or unresponsive hosts get two follow-ups 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 request removal under the DMCA.
A counter-notice can restore the content unless the matter goes further, typically to 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.
