DMCA TAKEDOWN NOTICE TEMPLATE FAQ


What is a DMCA takedown notice?

A DMCA takedown notice is a written notice sent to an online service provider or its designated agent asking that allegedly infringing material be removed or disabled. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512, service providers that want safe-harbor protection must designate an agent for these notices and respond expeditiously when they receive a qualifying notice.


Why do you need a DMCA takedown notice?

You need a DMCA takedown notice when copyrighted content is allegedly being used online without authorization and you want the platform or host to remove it or disable access. A compliant notice should substantially include the required statutory elements, such as identifying the copyrighted work, identifying the allegedly infringing material, providing contact information, and including the required good-faith and penalty-of-perjury statements.


When should you use a DMCA takedown notice?

Use a DMCA takedown notice when infringing material appears on a website, platform, or other online service and you want to direct your request to the provider’s designated DMCA agent. The notice-and-takedown process is part of the DMCA safe-harbor system for online service providers.


How to write a DMCA takedown notice?

Start by identifying yourself and the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. Then identify the specific allegedly infringing material and give enough information for the service provider to locate it, add your contact details, and include both the good-faith statement and the accuracy-and-authority statement under penalty of perjury, along with a physical or electronic signature. The statute also provides for liability for knowing material misrepresentations in notices or counter-notices.
