This policy explains which DMCA-related requests DMCA AI accepts or refuses. It works with our Terms of Service and Refund Policy.
1. We support
- Websites or URLs de-indexed after copyright complaints that appear abusive or incorrect — including negative-SEO style attacks.
- Preparation and filing of counter-notices under Section 512 when the client has a lawful basis. Start with counter-notice form builder or Check DMCA.
2. We refuse
- Clearly infringing content without authorization or a valid fair-use basis.
- Fraudulent requests, identity misrepresentation, or illegal purposes.
- Cases where a false counter-notice would create § 512(f) risk — see 512(f) false takedown guide.
3. Client responsibility
Clients remain responsible for the legality of their own website content. We may decline or stop service if this policy is violated. Background on copyright basics: What is copyright and What is copyfraud.
4. How we evaluate a case
We review: (1) URLs and notices, (2) ownership or license basis, (3) claimant type, (4) federal jurisdiction risk for a § 512(g) counter-notice. If the basis is weak, we say so instead of accepting every paid request.
5. Transparency and limits
DMCA AI is not a law firm and not Google. We do not guarantee third-party index outcomes after a correct filing. Related pages: About, Author, DIY vs lawyer vs service.
6. Examples we accept vs refuse
Often acceptable: original publisher sites hit by scrapers who backdate clones and file abusive notices; merchants whose product pages were wrongfully targeted; documentation sites with clear authorship.
Usually refused: pure piracy mirrors; identity-fraud counter-notices; requests to keep known-infringing files online. When unsure, start with the form builder and a free case triage via contact - we would rather decline early than file a weak counter-notice.
7. How to prepare a clean request
Send URLs, the notice, and ownership notes in one package. Self-check with Check DMCA and form builder first. If you only need education, use resources and the blog without opening a paid matter.
8. Documentation and evidence quality
Strong cases include original publish dates, server logs or CMS history when relevant, screenshots of the notice, and a clear chain from author to site operator. Weak cases rely on vague ownership claims or incomplete URL lists. We may pause work until evidence is usable rather than file a incomplete counter-notice that wastes the statutory clock.
