DMCA Warnings

TL;DR

Because of the privacy risks and potential liability, you should delegate a qualified party to handle your DMCA takedown notices.

The Problems

Liability

Takedown notices carry legal weight. If you’re not careful, you could be held liable for damages or even risk perjury . Unless you're confident that you know what you're doing, it's safer to let us handle it.

Privacy

Sending your own takedown notices may expose your personal information to pirates and the general public. You can reduce that risk by hiring us to handle your takedowns.

When a service provider receives a takedown notice, they are permitted to publish it in its entirety—including whatever personal information you provided. That means they can forward your legal name, phone number, email, and street address to the scoundrel leaking your content.

Annoyance

The service provider can also ask you to prove ownership. That means back-and-forth email chains to present evidence, argue your case, and manage tedious documentation. 🔍

The Solution

An authorized representative can send notices on your behalf. As long as they’re qualified to handle it, delegating to them limits your risk of personal data exposure (doxxing) and legal liability. And they’ll save you some time and frustration to boot.

Once they're steering the ship, you can chillax and keep doing what you do best: making stuff that's so good, people want to steal it. 😎
