DMCA Policy

People want to protect their content. Action starts when content gets copied without permission. Feeling secure begins with understanding the DMCA. If you own digital content or publish online, the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) matters more than you think. Whether you’re a blogger, creator, or business, learning how this law works helps you guard your creative rights.

Let’s break it down step-by-step — in plain language anyone can understand.

What is DMCA?

The DMCA is a U.S. law that protects copyright holders from digital content theft. This act gives owners a legal way to request the removal of stolen content. It also protects websites from being liable, as long as they respond properly to DMCA takedown requests.

You can report unauthorized use of:

  • Articles
  • Images
  • Videos
  • Audio
  • Code
Interesting Fact:

Over 1.2 million DMCA takedown notices are filed every week across platforms like Google, YouTube, and Facebook.
