    How it works

    Three steps to a successful DMCA takedown.

    1

    Identify and document

    Send us the infringing URLs and the underlying work. We document the infringement with screenshots, archived copies, and timestamps — the record you need if the platform requires evidence or the infringer counter-notices.

    2

    Draft and send

    A US-licensed attorney drafts the DMCA Section 512(c) notice with every required element: identification of the work, identification of the infringing material, your contact, the good-faith statement, and the authorised-signer affirmation. Sent to the platform's designated DMCA agent.

    3

    Track and follow up

    Most platforms remove within 24 to 72 hours of a proper notice. If they stall, we follow up. If the alleged infringer counter-notices, we evaluate the response and recommend the next step.

    What it costs

    A flat fee, quoted up front.

    Copyright Infringements (DMCA & C&D) is $195. Each DMCA takedown is a flat $195 — one attorney-drafted Section 512(c) notice, sent to the correct DMCA agent and tracked to removal. There is no per-hour billing and no quote after the fact. Bulk discounts apply for ten or more takedowns, and high-volume clients move to a monthly retainer with an included takedown allotment. A counter-notice response, if the alleged infringer pushes back, is quoted separately.

    What's included

    • Notice drafted by a US-licensed attorney authorised to act for you
    • Infringing URLs identified, screenshotted, and specified per DMCA §512(c)(3)
    • Sent to the platform's designated DMCA agent via the channel they accept
    • Removal tracked — most platforms act within 24 to 72 hours of a proper notice
    • Counter-notice strategy if the alleged infringer pushes back, with the response drafted
    • Repeat-infringer reporting on platforms with a policy for it
    • Bulk discounts for clients with ongoing takedown volume

    Quoted by volume

    DMCA notices are an enforcement tool, not a substitute for copyright registration. We recommend registering important works before enforcement so federal court remains available if a takedown is countered.

    Brand details

    1

    The content being infringed — for example your photo, video, article, song, or software.

    2

    A DMCA takedown requires that you own the work or are authorised to act for the owner.

    3

    Paste the infringing links, or describe where you found it — a website, marketplace, YouTube, social media, or an app store.

    4

    A link to your original work or where you first published it, if available — it strengthens the notice.

    5

    Screenshots of the infringement and proof you own the work.

    Your contact details

    No payment required. Your details stay confidential.

    Why GTC

    Why a notice from counsel gets the content down.

    Legal team
    GTC's copyright team
    Copyright counsel
    Attorney-led filing

    Drafted by an authorised signer

    A DMCA notice must be sent by someone authorised to act for the copyright holder. A US-licensed attorney drafts and signs yours, so the platform treats it as a genuine legal demand.

    Every §512(c)(3) element, specified

    Infringing URLs are identified, screenshotted, and specified to meet the statutory requirements. Self-sent notices that miss an element are rejected outright; ours are built to hold.

    Removal tracked, not just sent

    We monitor each notice to confirmed removal — most platforms act within 24 to 72 hours — and follow up directly with the DMCA agent if they stall.

    Counter-notice strategy ready

    If the alleged infringer pushes back under §512(g), we draft the response, assess the counter-notice (often it is defective), and advise on whether to escalate or settle.

    Your Customer Success Team

    A dedicated team that owns your matter from start to finish.

    Every GTC client gets a dedicated Account Manager and a Senior Account Manager who learn your business and stay with you from first email to final filing. They are named people who pick up the phone and already know your matter, so every step moves forward without delay.

    Your Account Manager

    Your day-to-day point of contact, who coordinates every matter, keeps things moving, and already knows your file. They have your full history, so you start every conversation where the last one left off.

    Your Senior Account Manager

    Senior oversight on strategy and escalations, stepping in as your needs grow, so every important detail stays on track.

    A named person, on email or a call, at every step.

    The timeline

    From infringing link to content removed.

    A properly drafted notice from counsel moves fast — most platforms act within days. Here's the sequence and where you steer it.

    1. Day 1

      Identify & document

      You send the infringing URLs and the underlying work. We capture screenshots, archived copies, and timestamps — the evidence record that holds up if the infringer pushes back.

    2. Days 1–2

      Draft the notice

      A US-licensed attorney drafts the §512(c) notice with every required element: identification of the work and the infringing material, your good-faith statement, and the authorised-signer affirmation.

    3. Day 2

      Send to the DMCA agent

      Sent to the platform's designated DMCA agent through the exact channel they accept — not a generic contact form that gets ignored.

    4. 24–72 hours

      Removal confirmed

      Most platforms remove within 24 to 72 hours of a proper notice. We track it, follow up if they stall, and prepare a counter-notice response strategy if the infringer fights it.

    Copyright Infringements (DMCA & C&D) FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Three reasons. Notices sent by counsel signal seriousness, so platforms prioritise them and infringers rarely counter-notice. DMCA notices have technical requirements, and self-sent notices that miss one are rejected outright. And if the infringer counter-notices, you will need attorney representation to proceed anyway — better to have a documented attorney-led process from the start.
