Who We Are

We are the original online content protection company. Since 2006, real people on our team have helped creators, brands, and everyday people take back what is theirs.

Your work is yours. When someone copies your photos, videos, music, writing, products, or private content without asking, it feels personal, because it is. We built DMCA.com on one simple idea: protecting your content online should not require a law degree, a big budget, or weeks of back and forth.

Today the DMCA.com Protected badge appears on millions of websites worldwide, our tools monitor and protect content every day, and our team has reviewed and processed more than 700,000 professionally managed takedowns. Behind every managed case is a real person who reads the details, drafts your notice, and follows it through with the host. No bots making decisions about your work.

We speak plain English, not legalese. We tell you what we can do, what we cannot, and what something costs before you pay. Whether you are a first-time creator or a global brand, you get the same straight answers and the same team in your corner.

What Our Clients Say

Reviews sourced from Trustpilot

I couldn't be happier with this DMCA takedown service

From the first submission, the process was straightforward, transparent, and handled with real expertise. They quickly identified unauthorized use of our content and took action immediately. What impressed me most was the speed and communication. The infringing content was removed far faster than expected.

DMCA took down the site stealing my content

I have used DMCA to protect my content for over 10 years. Recently, a website began stealing and publishing all of my content. I contacted DMCA, and they went to work on taking the entire site down. It wasn't easy, but they never quit and eventually got the site taken down. Website owners need companies like this to protect them.

Thank you DMCA!

DMCA has helped me get through one of the toughest periods in my life. They handled my cases so efficiently and made me feel so comfortable during the process. I really can't thank them enough for all they have done for me.
