A DMCA.com badge makes most people think twice. When someone copies your work anyway, Pro gives you the tools to find the copy, find who hosts it and get it taken down.

Premium Badges and a Verified Certificate

Use subscriber-only premium badges. Your Protection Certificate shows Verified status, so visitors and platforms can see you're a paid DMCA.com member.

What Is a DMCA Protection Badge?

A DMCA protection badge is a small "DMCA.com Protected" label you add to your website. Once it's on your pages, those pages are added to the DMCA.com protected pages index, and each one gets its own Protection Certificate showing the content is registered with us. It tells visitors your work is protected and that you're ready to act if it's copied. A badge discourages copying but can't stop it on its own, which is why every plan also gives you a way to get copies taken down.

Protect Your Website With a Free DMCA.com Badge

Step 1: Choose a Badge

What Our Clients Say

Reviews from Trustpilot

An unknown entity cloned our website…

An unknown entity cloned our website and turned it into a scam site. They did not respond to legal threats. DMCA removed our content from the website within 36 hours of payment. Great job, thank you!

Satisfied

After two years of not being able to get a copy cat website of my business down, I am so happy to say that DMCA successfully deactivated the website so people and clients were not confused.

The takedown service blew me away

The takedown service blew me away. It happened so quickly that I wish I would’ve done it months ago. Anyway I’m not sure what tactics were used, but it was very effective. I am extremely happy with the result. Thank you.

How long does a badge need to be on my page before I get a free takedown?

Free accounts also get 10% off professional takedowns once the badge has been on the page for 7 days.

Does a DMCA badge stop people copying my content?

No badge can make copying impossible. The badge shows visitors your content is registered with DMCA.com, which discourages many people from taking it. If someone copies it anyway, you can start a takedown. On Free and Pro, a badge that has been installed and registered for at least 30 days can qualify you for a free one.

Are DIY takedowns included?

Yes. Pro includes unlimited DIY takedowns, with DMCA takedown templates, PDF export and case management for your takedowns. You send each notice yourself. If you'd rather our team handle it, Pro also includes up to 10 free professional takedowns a year.

What if I can't add badge code to my site?

Choose Business Protection ($15/month or $150/year). You submit your website URL and we add your pages for you, with no badge code and no page indexing needed. Every page still gets its own Protection Certificate.

Can I protect images and videos, not just text?

Yes. The badge protects the web pages it's on, including the photos, videos and writing on those pages. You can also add YouTube videos, TikToks, Instagram posts and other content to your dashboard and get a Protection Certificate for each one. Pro also includes image watermarking and image monitoring.

How do I add a badge to my whole site?

Paste the badge code into your site footer. Every page that uses that footer is added to your protected pages automatically.

What does "Verified" on my certificate mean?

It shows the certificate belongs to a paid Protection Pro subscriber. After your first payment, we verify your account status and address, and your pages' Protection Certificates show as Verified. Read more about Verified status.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly plans aren't refundable. Yearly plans can be refunded if you ask within 10 days of payment. When you cancel, you keep your Pro features until the end of the period you've paid for, then your account goes back to the Free plan.

Is DMCA.com a law firm?
