Copyright infringement reporting

From a screenshot of stolen work to a documented report on the right platform, with the proof a reviewer needs attached.

What this service includes
  • Ownership and licensing check
  • Platform-specific report preparation
  • Evidence pack
  • Filing, follow-up and URL tracking
  • Guidance on registration where it would strengthen future enforcement

Copyright protects original creative work the moment it is fixed: a photograph, a video, a blog post, a course, a design, a piece of code. Enforcement online does not usually need registration or a lawsuit; it needs a well-founded report to the platform or provider hosting the copy.

Each platform has its own copyright form, evidence expectations and turnaround. We match your situation to the correct channel, prepare the report, attach ownership evidence and track the result. Where the DMCA applies we file a formal notice; where a platform has its own copyright program we use that.

Common infringement scenarios

  • Photographs reused on competitor product pages or social accounts
  • Video content re-uploaded to YouTube, TikTok or Facebook
  • Blog posts and landing pages scraped onto other websites
  • Digital products, templates and ebooks resold or shared
  • Designs reproduced on print-on-demand marketplaces

What we need from you

  • Links to the copies
  • Your originals with publication dates
  • Evidence of authorship or ownership (files with metadata, contracts, registrations)
  • Any licenses you have granted, so we do not report authorized use

  4. 4
    Submission and tracking

What this service does not guarantee

  • Platform approval or removal timing
  • Recovery of damages; that requires legal action
  • That a claimed fair use will be rejected by the platform
Administrative support, not legal advice
DigitalDMCA prepares and routes reports with your authorization and keeps the record. We do not provide legal advice. Where a matter needs a lawyer, for example litigation, a formal legal opinion or proceedings before a registry, we say so and recommend you consult qualified counsel.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to register my copyright first?

Not to send a takedown notice. Registration (for example with the US Copyright Office) matters if you later want to sue for statutory damages, and it can strengthen reports, but platforms act on unregistered works every day.

What about work created by freelancers?

Ownership depends on your agreement with the freelancer. If there is no written assignment, the freelancer may still own the copyright. We will ask about this before filing.

Can you report AI-generated images?

Copyright protection for purely AI-generated material is limited in many jurisdictions. Human-authored elements may still be protected. We assess the basis honestly before filing.
