Submitting false DMCA notices can result in legal action, so make sure you have a good-faith belief that the material is infringing on your copyright, or the copyright of someone you are authorized to represent, before submitting a DMCA notice. Be sure you’re aware of the legal, financial, and privacy risks and work with professionals. This is not legal advice.
