How to Remove Anything from the Internet with a Takedown Notice
You have the right to have stolen images and content of yours removed.
You’ve seen a blatant lie about yourself, someone has stolen your photo and is calling it their own, a video you posted has been copied without your permission, an unflattering meme making you look dumb, someone altered a photo of you, or someone stole your video and has posted it on youtube.
These are prime examples of stolen content protected by the DMCA, aka Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the United States.
The law is designed to make online sites listen to your complaint about material that should rightfully be removed. Even better is that it is not just restricted to material that is copyrighted. Site operators are legally obligated to honor your removal complaint in the U.S. and many international hosts will often abide by your request to have material taken down that belongs to you.
If you’ve ever found that someone has illegally posted your photo, here’s what you can do to legally get it taken down.
