Research does two things - provides a complete picture of the level of content theft and provides clients with peace of mind knowing the whole picture.

Either before or after a takedown case has been processed, scanning of the infringing websites may be required. This scanning process is to make certain that every URL that should be included in the takedown request is found.
Often clients have difficulty compiling their takedown case completely. DMCA.com's highly trained and qualified case managers can correctly locate and identify infringing URLs that are located on a website or websites that have illegally published stolen content. On very large sites this process may be a challenge to the uninitiated.
Some circumstances may require that elements within the takedown notice be translated in order to process the takedown.
DMCA.com has found that some sites will charge an "administration fee" to remove content offline. This charge is not a normal part of the process or standard practice. However, it does occur most often in jurisdictions outside of the US. If there is a situation where this fee is required, the takedown team will provide options to pay the cost directly or through DMCA.com.
There are some instances where additional costs will be required in order to file a takedown request. The DMCA.com takedown team will provide pricing options as soon as the assessment is complete. If the options are not suitable then a refund can be requested instead.
PayPal or Credit Card (through Stripe). Payment options are available at the top of the case.
Proceed with completing the takedown form. Add all of the case information. Once a case manager has been assigned to a takedown professional the remaining cost of the takedown can be evaluated and the case will be updated with a final price.
Three main pieces of information are needed to get started filing a DMCA Takedown Notice:
Where on the internet or platform is your stolen content located? What is the link that you want the content removed from? Be sure to provide the URL or website/webpage link of the content you want removed. If the stolen content is an image or video located on a website provide the direct link of the content contained in the site. Copy and paste the infringing text, or provide the URL of the infringing image if required.
An example link would look like: https://www.badguy_site.com/webpage/image_2
Where was your content located when it was stolen? Was it on your social media profile? Was it from your own website? Provide the exact URL where it was stolen from, even if the content has already been removed from its original location. The original URL is still valuable to the notice. If it was not online you can reference cell phone, computer, or camera etc. If it was online such as a website or cloud storage provide the link to the exact page it was stolen from. You can upload the original content to a cloud storage service and provide that URL with an explanation of where it was originally stolen from.
An example link would look like: https://share.icloud.com/photos/my_original_content
What is the content owner's name and how was the content stolen? How is this content yours? How do you own it? Did you create it, buy it, copyright it? Who is claiming ownership of the content? Who is authorized to file the DMCA Takedown? When did you create the content and when was the content stolen?
An example description would sound like: "My photo I took of myself on my camera was stolen from my Google Drive and was posted on this website without my knowledge and I would like it removed."
