DMCA Notice Writer

get your stolen content taken down

Fill in the blanks and get a complete, legally-formatted takedown notice — ready to email to the site hosting your stolen content. Every required element of a valid DMCA notice is included automatically.

⚠ Protecting your identity when you file

What the law says: the DMCA requires the notice to include your name and a signature as the copyright owner (or their authorized agent) — legally, that means your real identity stands behind the notice.

What happens in practice: many creators file under the stage name their work is published under, and hosts routinely accept it. But the statute contemplates your legal identity, and the notice is signed under penalty of perjury — if you're unsure, file through an agent or ask a lawyer. Always use a dedicated business email, never your personal one.

Know where notices end up. Notices filed with Google and other major platforms get published in the Lumen database. If your legal name ever appears there, Lumen will replace it with your performer name on request for adult-content notices.

For extra distance, file through an agent: your LLC, a takedown service, or a lawyer can be the named sender. Nothing on this page is legal advice — for repeat or serious infringement, talk to a lawyer.
