DMCA Takedown Notice
A DMCA Takedown Notice is a tool provided under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the United States, allowing copyright owners to request the removal of unauthorized copyrighted material hosted online. When a copyright holder discovers their work being infringed upon on a website, platform, or service, they can issue a DMCA takedown notice to the service provider, demanding the removal of the infringing content. Compliance with these notices is required for service providers to maintain safe harbor protection from copyright infringement liabilities.
