The Problem
When your content is used without permission
When your intellectual property, images, or proprietary content is distributed without authorization, DMCA enforcement provides a powerful legal mechanism for removal. Erasiq manages the entire DMCA process — from notice preparation to host compliance and search de-indexing.
Case Example
What a typical DMCA case looks like
Product photos scraped to 34 sites. Bulk compliant notices to hosts — 29 complied within 10 days. Remaining five needed CDN escalation.

Honest Assessment
Who this helps and who it does not
We file DMCA notices only for content you own or control the rights to. False copyright claims carry legal risk — every case begins with a thorough infringement audit before any notice is sent.

The DMCA takedown process explained
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act provides a statutory framework for removing unauthorized use of copyrighted material. Valid notices must identify the work, specify infringing URLs, and meet formal compliance requirements.
Erasiq manages evidence collection, notice preparation, delivery to hosts and platforms, and compliance tracking through resolution.
When the listing keeps ranking after platform action, we coordinate Google Search as part of the same engagement. Search cleanup is not an afterthought once the dispute stalls.
