How it works
1
Describe your work
Identify the original content and where it is published, so the recipient can compare it.
2
List the copies
Paste each infringing URL on its own line. Precise URLs get processed faster than a homepage link.
3
Send it
Copy the notice into the platform's form or email it to the abuse contact from our Abuse Contact Finder.
Frequently asked questions
What must a DMCA notice include?+
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the infringing material and its location, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act, and your signature.
Does the DMCA apply in Europe?+
The DMCA is US law, but most global platforms accept DMCA-format notices. In the EU, the Digital Services Act (Article 16) requires hosting services to accept notices with a similar set of elements. Choose the EU format for EU-based hosts.
Can I use a DMCA notice for trademark infringement?+
No. The DMCA only covers copyright. Use it for copied photos, text, and video. For misuse of your brand name or logo, send a trademark complaint or use our Cease & Desist Letter Generator.
Is this legal advice?+
No. This generator produces a template based on the statutory requirements. Have counsel review notices in contested or high-value cases, and never send a notice you do not believe in good faith.
