How to File a DMCA Takedown Notice

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, provide a list of such works.
  • Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. Include information sufficient to allow us to locate the material, such as specific URLs.
  • Contact information for the complaining party. This includes an address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate. Also state, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
