Reverse image search revealed the scale
The client found US furniture sites and Canadian lifestyle blogs using her monsoon street series without credit or payment. Over forty URLs surfaced in the first audit.
Indian creators often assume DMCA is US-only. In practice, global hosts and CDNs honor well-formed notices regardless of where the artist lives.
Grouping notices for speed
We clustered URLs by hosting provider to send batch DMCA Takedown Services notices. Providers act faster when you do their abuse team a favor and organize the list.
Some blogs also ran negative commentary about local businesses using her photos as fake evidence. Those pages went into Negative News Removal outreach separately from copyright claims.
Cleaning Google Image results across regions
Google Search Removal submissions targeted google.com and google.co.in thumbnails still showing after host takedowns. Within a month, reverse image search looked clean again.
