Anatomy](/assets/bare-anatomy-CBhgu9Ro.webp "Bare Anatomy")![Freedom](/assets/freedom-confectionery-HioHiGYc.webp "Freedom") 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 Single DMCA takedown notice $195 (flat) Bulk: 10–49 takedowns $145 / notice Bulk: 50+ takedowns / month $99 / notice (monthly retainer) Counter-notice response (if alleged infringer responds) $395 Ongoing monitoring + takedown retainer 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. Get started ### Request a DMCA takedown Send us the infringing URLs and proof of your original work, and our team will prepare and file the §512(c) notice. No payment required Reply within 1 business day A GTC attorney reviews it & sends a flat-fee quote. Each notice is a flat $195, with bulk pricing for ongoing volume. We confirm the rate in writing before any drafting begins. Brand details 1 What work is being copied?\* The content being infringed — for example your photo, video, article, song, or software. 2 Do you own this work, or can you act for the owner?\* A DMCA takedown requires that you own the work or are authorised to act for the owner. 3 Where is it being infringed?\* Paste the infringing links, or describe where you found it — a website, marketplace, YouTube, social media, or an app store. 4 Where is your original? A link to your original work or where you first published it, if available — it strengthens the notice. 5 Upload screenshots or proof (optional) Screenshots of the infringement and proof you own the work.

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. ![Your dedicated GTC Customer Success Team](/assets/m-onboarding-bright-welcome-C-heDolY.jpg) How we compare ## Weighing how to send a takedown?

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. In their words ## All your legal, in one place.

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. Do I need a copyright registration before sending a DMCA notice? What if the alleged infringer counter-notices?
