The execution playbook

Every takedown, seen through to removal.

We built our entire workflow around one outcome: the content comes down. Here's exactly how a case moves from your inbox to closed — and what we do when the other side stays silent.

Step by step

The six stages of a DMCA.law takedown

Disciplined, evidence-first, and persistent. Scroll to watch a case progress.

01Intake

You submit the case

Send the original work (or proof of your rights) and the infringing URLs to team@team.dmca.law. No clunky forms — a short message is enough. For volume, share a list and we'll handle the rest.

02Verify

We confirm ownership & build the evidence

We verify that the work is yours and assemble a clean evidentiary record — captures, timestamps and a precise description of the infringement — so the notice is fully compliant and difficult to dispute.

03Identify

We find who can actually remove it

The single biggest reason notices fail is reaching the wrong party. We map the full stack — uploader, platform, web host, CDN, and domain registrar — and pinpoint the designated agent with the power to act.

04Notice

We send a compliant takedown notice

A correctly formed DMCA §512(c) notice — or the equivalent European copyright takedown — goes to the right recipient through the right channel, with every statutory element in place.

05Follow-up

We chase the response — relentlessly

This is where ordinary services stop. We don't. We follow up on a schedule, push for acknowledgement, and keep the pressure on until the recipient acts. Silence is not an acceptable outcome.

06Escalate & close

We escalate until it's gone, then verify

No response? We climb the escalation ladder below. Once removed, we confirm the content is actually offline and close the case. You're billed only at this point.

  • Re-route notices that hit the wrong recipient
  • Rebuild weak or incomplete evidence

  • Handle counter-notices and pushback
When it's already been tried

Takedowns others gave up on

A notice that gets ignored isn't the end — it's usually a sign it went to the wrong place, lacked the right evidence, or was never followed up.

Bring us the cases that bounced, stalled, or got a flat "no." We start over the right way: confirm the rights, identify who actually controls the content, and apply pressure at every level until it comes down. Persistence is the product.

The escalation ladder

If the first notice doesn't do it, we don't shrug — we climb. Each rung adds pressure through a different lever until the content is removed.

1

Host & hosting-provider complaints

We go over the uploader's head to the company physically serving the files — and the CDN in front of it.

2

Domain registrar complaints

When a host stalls, the registrar that controls the domain becomes the next point of leverage.

3

Search-engine delisting

We get the infringing URLs removed from Google and other search results so they stop being discoverable.

4

Counter-notification handling

If the other side files a counter-notice, we manage the entire process and response on your behalf.

5

Cease & desist

Formal demand letters that raise the stakes for repeat and willful infringers.

6

Further legal action & litigation referral

When a matter needs the courts, we coordinate with independent legal partners to take it forward.

Escalation through every channel is included in our standard per-takedown service — there's no upcharge for refusing to give up.

Getting started

What we need from you

Submitting a case takes minutes. The more you can share, the faster we move.

The original work

The file, a link to it, or evidence that the copyright is yours (registration, publication date, source files).

The infringing URLs

Direct links to where your work is being used without permission. One link or a whole list — both are fine.

Any history

If you've tried to take it down before, tell us what happened — it helps us pick the fastest route.

Your goal

One-off removal, a bulk campaign, or ongoing monitoring — tell us the outcome you want and we'll scope it.
