How it works

From evidence to platform removal in four clean steps.

A predictable workflow that meets §512(c) requirements and keeps an audit trail you can hand to legal counsel.

STEP 01

Identify the Infringement

Capture the exact platform URL, uploader handle, upload timestamp and screenshots of the infringing content.

STEP 02

Prepare Ownership Proof

Collect ISRC/UPC, DSP release links, copyright registration, label/publisher authorization and any contracts.

STEP 03

Choose the Right Route

Use the direct platform form or legal email when listed; fall back to the U.S. DMCA designated-agent directory.

STEP 04

File & Track

Submit a §512(c) compliant notice, save the case ID, and track the platform’s response and removal status.

Three filing routes

Pick the right takedown route for each platform.

Different platforms expose different reporting paths — using the correct one cuts removal time from days to hours.

Common disputes

The kind of cases we resolve every day.

If your situation matches any of the patterns below, file a takedown with the matching route — don’t let infringement age.

Audio Re-upload

Stolen Master

Your master recording was re-uploaded to a DSP under a different artist or label profile.

Video Theft

Music Video Reupload

Your official music video appears on another channel with no license or attribution.

Artwork

Cover Art Misuse

A third party uses your album/single artwork as the thumbnail of unauthorized content.

Composition

Lyrics & Score Theft

Your lyrics, sheet music or composition are being published without a license.

Sample / Cover

Unlicensed Sample

A cover or sample-based release was published commercially without clearance.

Sync

Unauthorized Sync

Your track is synced to a podcast, ad or short-form video without a sync license.

Before sending a notice

Use complete and accurate information to reduce delays or rejection from platform compliance teams.

  • Confirm the content is actually infringing and not your own authorized distribution.
  • Collect platform URLs, screenshots, uploader handles and timestamps.
  • Include ownership proof and a clear statement identifying the original work.
  • Use the correct route (direct form, legal email or directory-listed agent).

Counter-notice basics

If a track or video was removed in error, use the platform’s §512(g) dispute or counter-notice route where offered.

  • Keep all case IDs, emails and portal confirmations after submission.
  • Submit only accurate statements and verifiable ownership evidence.
  • Review platform policy pages before re-uploading removed content.
  • Use legal escalation only after checking the official route first.
FAQ

Copyright dispute questions.

Routes, notice requirements, timelines, counter-notices and exporting the directory.

When should I use a direct form versus the DMCA directory route?

Use a direct form or legal email when the platform publishes one — that route is always fastest and produces a confirmation receipt. Use the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA directory when no direct path is published or when you need the official designated-agent record (often required for cross-border enforcement).

What information must a valid DMCA notice contain?

A §512(c) compliant notice must include: (1) your physical/electronic signature, (2) identification of the copyrighted work, (3) the exact location/URL of the infringing material, (4) your contact details (name, address, phone, email), (5) a good-faith belief statement, and (6) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act.

How long does platform removal usually take?

Major DSPs and social networks typically remove infringing content within 24–72 hours of a valid notice. Smaller hosts and routed agents can take 5–10 business days. If a counter-notice is filed, content may be reinstated within 10–14 business days unless court action is initiated.

Can I file from outside the United States?

Yes. Although the DMCA is U.S. law, virtually every major international platform — YouTube, Meta, TikTok, SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal — accepts DMCA-style notices from rights holders worldwide and follows the same removal workflow.

What happens if a takedown was made by mistake?

Use the platform’s §512(g) counter-notice process where available. The platform restores the content within 10–14 business days unless the original claimant initiates legal action and notifies the platform within that window. Always keep case IDs and email confirmations.

Are there penalties for filing a false DMCA notice?

Yes. Knowingly material misrepresentation in a takedown notice exposes the filer to liability under §512(f) — including damages, costs and attorney fees. Always verify ownership and authorization before filing.

Does the infringer see my contact information?

Most platforms forward the relevant portions of the notice — including claimant identity and contact info — to the accused party as required by law. A DMCA notice is a legal document, not anonymous reporting.

Can I export this directory or copy a checklist for my case file?

Yes. Use the search and filters to narrow results, then click Copy Visible Names, Copy Visible Links or Export CSV to grab a clean, time-stamped checklist for your evidence folder.
