Run a free scan

The main ones

Cost, time, risk.

What does it cost?

Between $95 and $295 per page, depending on what has to be done, and you are told the exact number before anything is filed. You pay only if that page actually comes down. The free scan, opening a case, a case we decline, a notice the host ignores, and content that comes back on appeal all cost nothing.

Can you guarantee the page will be removed?

No, and nobody honestly can. Hosts, platforms and search engines make that decision, not us. What we can promise is that you are not billed when they say no. That is the only guarantee worth anything in this category.

How long does it take?

We do not give a date, because we do not control the host. Some act within a day, some take weeks, some never answer. Anyone quoting you a turnaround time is guessing. You will see every stage change in your portal on the day it happens.

Is the scan really free, and do you keep my data?

Really free, and no account is needed. We store the scan for 14 days so you can come back to the results, then it is deleted. We do not sell data and we do not email you unless you open a case.

What if the scanner shows a page that is actually mine?

Untick it. You tell us which sites you own during intake and we exclude them. Nothing is filed against anything you have not personally approved, page by page.

Can the other side find out who I am?

Yes, and you should decide knowing that. A notice carries the rights holder's name and address, because the statute requires it. Hosts commonly forward the notice to the site operator. Google publishes the requester name, the rights-holder name and the reported URLs to the Lumen database; contact details are withheld there. We tell you this before you authorise anything, not after.

What happens if they file a counter-notice?

The host must restore the content in 10 to 14 business days unless you start a court case. We tell you the day it arrives, your invoice is voided, and if you had paid we refund it. Whether to go further is a decision for a lawyer, not for us.

Do I need to have registered my copyright?

Not to send a notice. Copyright exists the moment you write or photograph something. Registration matters if you ever want statutory damages in court, and it changes how we assemble the ownership evidence, which is why that case is priced one rung higher.

Are you a law firm?

No. We act as your authorised agent on your instructions, for work you own, and we file notices. We do not give legal advice. If a matter needs a lawyer, we will say so plainly rather than take the case.

Why would I not just do this myself?

You can, and we publish the tools to do it: the scanner, the host lookup and the notice generator are all free with no account. What you are paying for is finding the right designated agent, assembling the ownership evidence, writing a notice that cannot be dismissed on a technicality, chasing the host, and carrying the § 512(f) exposure of signing it.

And the rest

Platforms, borders, afterwards.

Do you work outside the United States?

Not at launch. Canada runs a notice-and-notice regime under s. 41.25 that does not require takedown and bars payment demands in a notice. The EU runs under Article 16 of the Digital Services Act. A US-style notice into either is ineffective, and we will not charge you for one.

Can you find who is behind an anonymous site?

Only from public records. DNS and RDAP give the host, the registrar and an abuse contact, which is all a notice needs. Unmasking a person behind a privacy-protected domain takes a subpoena, which is a lawyer's job.

What if the copy is on a marketplace?

Etsy, Amazon, eBay and Shopify each run their own copyright process, and the complaint has to go through theirs rather than to a host. We file through those channels where they exist.

Will filing a notice make them retaliate?

It can. The most common response is a counter-notice, which is their right. We cannot promise how a stranger will react, and nobody can.

Can you stop them copying me again?

No service can. A notice removes a specific page; it does not change behaviour. It does create a record with the host.

Do you need access to my website?

No. The scanner reads your public pages as a search engine would. We never ask for a login or for anything installed on your site.

How do I know the scanner is not making matches up?

Every match comes with the sentence and a link to the live page, so you can read it yourself. If one ever does not hold up, that is a bug and we want to hear about it.

What do you do with my scan data?

It is kept for 14 days so you can come back to the results, then deleted. We do not sell it, and we do not email you unless you open a case.
