So how does it work?
We specialize in sending out DMCA Violation Notices. The what of the what?! US Law says that if someone posts a copyrighted work online, they are not liable for posting it until the copyright holder lets them know. Sending of DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Violation Notices is how copyright holders inform sites of violations. They must be specifically formatted and sent to the right places. That’s one of the biggest things we streamline. We send to the correct website admin source, and if ignored, we automatically escalate and send notices to Website Hosting Providers (whose terms are violated by a user posting infringing materials).
Great! So will all my infringements be immediately taken down because DMCA Violation Notices are sent?
Unfortunately not. The DMCA is a US Law, and through International Trade Agreements, most countries follow US IP Law violations, but others are not so compliant. If a Website Hosting Provider has servers solely located in certain countries, they may outright ignore the DMCA while others will require a court document signed by a judge in order to remove a single URL with an infringement (We have a specific set of words we like to call those Providers, but children may read this FAQ so we’ll leave it at that).
Oh no. So then it ends there?
No. Because Copyright Slap does not stop. We have relationships with different agencies and organizations that take things a step further, and go after entire piracy-centered domains. It takes longer, but those extremely stubborn sites are highlighted as especially bad actors and through multi-national and court actions, the sites are addressed. Meanwhile, Copyright Slap submits and has the infringing URLs removed from Search Engines so that they no longer appear if someone searches for the illegal content. It may remain online, but it is much more difficult to find.
Okay, so I’m covered but some things will just take time?
Yes and no. (We know, never an easy answer.) Our system is a highly efficient whack-a-mole player going after infringing URLs, and by teaming with agencies and organizations we go after bigger offenders, but nothing is 100%. Some sites will refuse to remove infringements and there are only so many domains that can be taken down in a given amount of time through outside measures. One thing Copyright Slap does is document every DMCA Violation Notice sent, so that it can be utilized by an IP Attorney to take further action. We are not a Law Firm, but when paired with an IP Attorney, the documentation we provide can be used to take legal action and be used to seek damages.
Is that it?
Nope. Copyright Slap is continuously working to release new features to better aid our users in fighting online piracy. We know this fight is an ever-evolving and never-ending one, and we strive to create new tools to better equip you to protect your brand image, to send users to legit money-earning sites, and to give you resources to take further action if needed.

"Copyright Slap is a very helpful tool to quickly consolidate numerous websites that are pirating my film and take action against them. As an indie filmmaker, I don't really have a lot of time to continually search for all of the pirated versions of my film that are out there, so a tool like Copyright Slap is a necessity for me."
