The Digital Media Copyright Advocacy Coalition (DMCACRIMES) is a non-profit coalition of lawyers, activists, private investigators, and content creators who specialize in protecting the rights of copyright holders—dedicated to collective action and empowerment. Our mission is to help level the playing field by arming you with the knowledge and support to take down your stolen content, even in the most difficult of cases. We proactively investigate and shut down criminal websites and web hosts by reporting them to financial institutions, the US Justice Department, the World Intellectual Property Organization, and international authorities to ensure that copyright infringers are held accountable for their actions. As fierce advocates for digital property rights, we also seek to effect systemic change through lobbying efforts and policy initiatives, working to strengthen protections for content creators worldwide, and close loopholes that enable exploitation.
Beyond legal action, we provide comprehensive education and support to content creators. From understanding your rights to navigating the takedown process, we're here to empower you every step of the way. No more guesswork or hesitation—know exactly who you're dealing with and how to navigate their particular brand of exploitation. Unlike for-profit takedown services that operate in secrecy, we believe in transparency and collaboration.

Go to DatabaseThe DMCA takedown process is a mechanism outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that allows copyright holders to request the removal of infringing content from online platforms. The process typically involves several key steps: Identification of Infringing Content, sending the DMCA Takedown Notice, and Content Removal or Access Disabling.
Note: While the DMCA is a component of U.S. Copyright law, the initiation of a DMCA Takedown does not necessarily require the content itself to be registered as officially copyrighted for the processing of a takedown notice and subsequent removal by the website owner or webhost.
Put simply: Copyright is automatic from the moment a work is created. Ownership of the content, or being the subject in a photo or video, is sufficient enough proof and reason to submit a copyright takedown notice, and result in the removal of the content.
Similarly, in Europe, the European Copyright Directive (EUCD) effectively unites copyright laws throughout much of the world under the same umbrella.
