The internet, smart phones, and social media has led to a flood of digital content, including books, images, videos, songs, sheet music, and more available online. YouTube and other websites have allowed digital content to proliferate online without the owner’s permission.The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) gives an option in the online age for content creators to have infringing content removed without initiating costly copyright infringement litigation. The DMCA attorneys at Front Range Legal Services can quickly and efficiently send DMCA notices on behalf of you to help protect your legal rights.

Are you an artist or individual who’s creative or personal work has been infringed and posted online without your permission? Are you the victim of revenge porn involving intimate photographs you sent to a former loved one that are now posted online without your consent? If you are the actual owner of the work or have permission to act on behalf of the owner of the work, you may have options to have the infringing or unapproved content removed from many online platforms. DMCA takedown services are commonly used by streamers, influencers, content creators, photographers, designers, developers, 3D artists, writers, and more. If certain criteria are met, DMCA notices can also be an effective tool to have non-consensual pornography or revenge porn content removed from the internet.

To prove a violation of the DMCA, the reporting party must demonstrate you have a valid copyright that is being infringed  by a third party. There are several elements that need to be shown to establish a prima facie claim for copyright infringement.

1. The existence of a valid copyright, which you own; and
2. That the third-party infringed on your valid copyright by creating a duplicate copy of the work or creating a substantially similar version of your work.

Do you know where the infringing work is hosted but you don’t know how to get it removed? Do you have proof of ownership of the work as well as a screenshot and a URL of the infringing work? If you do, there may be options. While not all internet hosts outside the US follow the DMCA, most will comply with takedown notices from a US-based attorney. DMCA takedown notices are taken more seriously when sent by a US-based DMCA attorney.
