Why clients trust us

A confidential, guaranteed, done-for-you DMCA service

Copyright theft costs you views, revenue and control of your work. We handle the entire takedown — filed correctly the first time — and keep you updated until the infringing video is gone.

10-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If the infringing video is not removed within 10 days, you get a full refund — no questions asked.

Filed Correctly, First Time

A DMCA notice that is vague or wrong gets rejected. We file it the way YouTube’s copyright team expects.

Removed at the Source

We get the video deleted from YouTube itself — not just de-listed — so it cannot keep earning from your work.

Counter-Notice Handling

If the uploader files a counter-notice, we manage the response and escalate so a valid claim still holds.

Handled by Specialists

Senior copyright specialists manage your case from first review to final proof of removal.

Proven Track Record

Over 20,000 URLs removed for creators, brands and rights-holders across 60+ countries.

The problem

Every day a stolen video stays up, it takes views, revenue and rank from you

When someone re-uploads your video or uses your footage without a licence, they are not just copying you — they are competing with you. Their upload collects the views, watch-time, subscribers and ad revenue that should be yours, and it can outrank your original in both YouTube and Google search.

Left alone, the damage spreads. Stolen clips get mirrored to other channels, bundled into compilations, and increasingly pulled into AI answers that credit the wrong source. The longer the infringing copy stays live, the more it is embedded across the web and the harder it becomes to fully remove.

The only durable fix is a properly-filed DMCA takedown that removes the video at the source, followed by de-indexing so the stolen copy disappears from Google and AI search — which is exactly what we do, and what we guarantee.

Who we help

Copyright removal for anyone whose work has been taken

If it is your original work, you have the right to have it removed. We help creators and rights-holders of every kind.

Creators & YouTubers

Channels whose videos have been re-uploaded, clipped or reposted without credit or permission.

Brands & businesses

Companies whose adverts, product footage or branded content is being used to mislead or profit.

Filmmakers & studios

Rights-holders facing pirated films, trailers, screeners or unlicensed streams of their work.

Photographers & artists

Creators whose images, artwork or designs appear in videos without a licence.

Musicians & labels

Artists and labels whose tracks are used in videos without clearance or synced without a licence.

Course & content sellers

Educators whose paid courses, ebooks or training have been ripped and re-uploaded for free.

What we remove

Every kind of copyright infringement on YouTube

If your original work is being used without permission, there is almost always a valid DMCA ground — and we know how to file it so it gets action.

Full re-uploads of your video

Someone downloaded your video and posted it as their own, word-for-word and frame-for-frame.

Stolen footage & clips

Your recordings, b-roll or highlights cut into another creator’s video without a licence.

Pirated films & streams

Full movies, episodes, trailers or live streams uploaded without the rights-holder’s permission.

Unlicensed music use

Your track used as background or synced into a video without clearance or a sync licence.

Ripped courses & ebooks

Paid training, tutorials or downloads re-uploaded for free, undercutting your sales.

Image & artwork theft

Your photos, designs, thumbnails or artwork appearing in videos you never licensed.

Cloned & copycat channels

Channels rebuilt from your content, using your name, branding or back catalogue to profit.

Fake & reposted compilations

Compilations and reaction re-uploads that use your work as the main content without permission.

Why blocking one link never works

Removal at the source is the only real fix

Hiding one search result does nothing while the infringing video is still live — it keeps earning views, gets mirrored and re-uploaded, and is quoted by AI models within days. We pursue the video until it is gone from YouTube, then clear every cached and indexed copy.

Deleted at the source

We get the video removed from YouTube itself — not just de-listed — so it cannot keep monetising your work.

Cleared from Google

Once it is down we file de-indexing requests so the stolen copy disappears from Google Search and Images.

Gone from AI answers

We push the removal through to AI engines — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot — so they stop citing the copy.

How it works

A clear, four-step process — done entirely for you

1

Send us the video

Share the infringing YouTube link and, if you have it, proof of your original (upload date, source file or licence).

2

Free copyright review

Within 24 hours we confirm the strongest DMCA ground, your fixed fee and timeline — with no obligation.

3

We file & escalate

We submit the DMCA notice to YouTube, manage any counter-notice, and escalate through legal channels if needed.

4

Proof & monitoring

You get confirmation the video is gone and cleared from search. We monitor for 12 months and re-file if it reappears.

Legal & policy routes

How we get an infringing YouTube video taken down

Copyright removal is a specialist process. We choose the strongest route for your case and escalate until the video comes down.

1. DMCA takedown notice

We file a complete, correctly-worded DMCA notice identifying your original work and the infringing URL — the way YouTube’s copyright team expects, so it is actioned rather than rejected.

2. Counter-notice & repeat infringers

If the uploader disputes the claim, we handle the counter-notice, and we flag repeat infringers so YouTube applies strikes and channel-level action.

3. Legal escalation & subpoena

Where needed we escalate through legal counsel — including formal complaints and, in serious cases, subpoenas to identify anonymous infringers.

4. Google de-indexing & AI delisting

Once the source video is removed, we file removal requests to clear it from Google Search, Images and AI answer engines — and monitor for re-uploads.

Global coverage

Copyright removal across every major jurisdiction, worldwide

The DMCA is US law, but YouTube applies it globally — and most countries have equivalent copyright takedown mechanisms. We file from whichever jurisdiction gives the fastest result, wherever you or the infringer are based.

United StatesUnited KingdomCanadaAustraliaGermanyFranceNetherlandsSpainItalyUAE & Middle EastSingaporeIndiaJapanWorldwide
AI search removal

Clear the stolen video from AI search — not just Google

AI assistants summarise and cite what they find online. If an infringing copy of your work is indexed, these tools can surface and credit it instead of you. Removing the source video is what stops that at the root — and we push it through to every major AI engine.

ChatGPT & Perplexity

Once the infringing video and its indexed pages are gone, these engines lose the source and stop citing the stolen copy.

Google AI Overviews & Gemini

We clear the video from Google so it can no longer be pulled into AI Overviews or Gemini answers.

Microsoft Copilot & Bing

We file removal and de-indexing across Bing so Copilot no longer draws on the copy.

Why removal beats suppression

Blocking one link leaves the video live to be re-crawled. Deleting it at the source is the only way to make it truly gone.

What counts as infringement

When a YouTube video crosses the line into copyright infringement

Copyright protects original work — video, film, music, images, writing and more — the moment it is created. On YouTube, infringement happens when someone uses a substantial part of your work without permission or a licence, whether they credit you or not. Credit is not a licence, and neither is “no copyright intended”.

You usually have a strong takedown case if a video does any of the following:

  • Re-uploads your video in full, or uses a recognisable substantial portion of it.
  • Uses your footage, music, images or artwork without a licence or your permission.
  • Republishes your paid or gated content — a course, film or download — for free.
  • Profits from your work through ads, sponsorships or channel growth.
  • Uses your name, branding or back catalogue to pose as you or your channel.

Genuine fair use, commentary and transformative works can be protected — which is exactly why filing is a specialist job. We assess your specific case and file the strongest, most defensible claim so the takedown holds and is not reversed on counter-notice.

To start, all we need is the infringing link and, ideally, evidence of your original — an upload date, source file or licence. You do not need to prepare the legal notice yourself; that is our job.

Why act now

Every day it stays up, the stolen video earns from your work

An infringing upload does not fade on its own. The longer it stays live, the more views, watch-time and revenue it takes — and the more it gets mirrored, compiled and cited by AI tools, making it harder to fully erase later.

Acting early keeps the case simple and the result clean. With our 10-day money-back guarantee and a fixed fee agreed up front, there is no risk in starting today — only in waiting.

FAQ

YouTube copyright & DMCA removal — straight answers

Can you get a video that stole my content removed from YouTube?
Yes. We file a complete DMCA takedown notice identifying your original work and the infringing URL, manage any counter-notice, and escalate through legal channels if needed until the video is removed at the source.
How long does a DMCA takedown take?
Most infringing videos are removed within 10 days, and our guarantee is full removal within 10 days or your money back. Disputed or repeat-infringer cases can take longer, and we tell you the realistic timeline in your free review before you commit.
What if I don’t have the original file?
It helps but is not always essential. Your public upload date, channel history, licences or purchase records can all establish ownership. We assess what you have in the free review and tell you honestly how strong the claim is.
What happens if the uploader files a counter-notice?
We handle it. We assess the counter-notice, respond with the evidence that supports your claim, and where appropriate escalate through legal counsel so a valid claim still results in removal.
Will it also be removed from Google search and AI answers?
Yes. Once the source video is down we file de-indexing requests so it disappears from Google Search and Images, and we push the removal through to AI engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity so they stop citing the copy.
Do I need to hire a lawyer myself?
No. We handle the entire process, including any legal escalation through our own partners. You do not need to file the notice or prepare paperwork yourself.
Which countries do you cover?
We work worldwide. The DMCA is US law but YouTube applies it globally, and most countries have equivalent copyright takedown routes, so a video can almost always be actioned wherever it was posted.
How much does copyright removal cost?
You pay one flat, fixed fee confirmed up front in your free review — no hourly billing and no surprises. If the video is not removed within 10 days, you receive a full refund.
What if the video is re-uploaded after removal?
We monitor your case for 12 months and re-file instantly if the same video or a re-upload reappears anywhere online, so the result holds.
