DMCA & Piracy Takedowns
Properly drafted takedown notices for stolen content, counterfeit listings and copycat storefronts.
When someone lifts your product photography, clones your storefront or lists counterfeits under your brand, the fastest route is usually not a lawsuit. Platforms are required to act on a compliant notice, and most act within days.
The catch is that notices are rejected constantly for being incomplete. A DMCA notice has statutory requirements, and marketplace complaint forms each want the evidence presented their own way. Getting it right the first time is the difference between a listing gone this week and a complaint that goes nowhere.
What is included
Compliant DMCA notices
Notices drafted to meet the requirements of Section 512(c)(3), including the good-faith and accuracy statements platforms check for.
