Someone republished your work without permission. Fill in the details below and the generator assembles a takedown notice with the statements US law requires — ready to send to the site’s host, or paste into a platform’s copyright report form.
Below the tool:
Where to send it. Platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Etsy, Amazon) have their own copyright report forms — use those, and paste the relevant sections from your notice. For independent websites, find the host with a WHOIS lookup and email their abuse address, or check the site for a designated DMCA agent.
Why those numbered statements matter. Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA lists the elements a valid notice must contain — identification of the work, the infringing material, your contact details, the good-faith statement, and the accuracy statement under penalty of perjury. Hosts can ignore incomplete notices, so the generator includes all of them.
Take the perjury line seriously. You’re declaring you own the work or represent whoever does. Sending takedowns for material you don’t own has real consequences — courts have penalized abusive notices.
