DMCA & Takedowns

A takedown is a formal request asking a host, platform, search engine or app store to remove or disable access to material that infringes your rights. In the United States the DMCA sets out what a valid notice must contain and how service providers respond, and most large platforms run their own reporting channels built on similar principles.
The articles in this category explain how that process works in practice. They cover what a DMCA notice must include, who should receive it and what a counter-notice is; how search engine delisting removes pirate links from results and why delisted URLs can return; and how fake and cloned apps are reported to app stores, with the evidence each channel expects. Together they describe how rights holders can send notices that are accurate, well documented and acted on, and how to follow each request through to resolution.
