Hi Laurence,

What is Google DCMA? - This relates to requesting Google to remove links/website from search index etc for violations of copyright or law... Check out the [URLnf="https://support.google.com/legal/answer/3110420?hl=en"]G's legal removal request[/URLnf] info page. I also came across this [URLnf="http://searchengineland.com/google-dmca-notices-reach-record-high-7-8-million-requests-filed-one-week-201327"]interesting article[/URLnf] - outlining that G got more than 7.8 Million link removal requests in one week!

How to report an issue with DCMA? In the extreme case you would start with hiring a lawyer... On the smaller end you could write your own notice with using online templates as that may stop it before you have to spend money on legal support.. Have a read of this with getting [URLnf="https://nppa.org/page/5617"]started[/URLnf] and for creating your own requests you could use something like [URLnf="http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2009/07/06/sample-dmca-take-down-letter/id=4501/"]this[/URLnf]..

and how to avoid it for your website? Well don't violate copyright e.g. images, content, software etc....

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Sid

Hello Laurence,

Actually it's not DCMA, its DMCA. DMCA means it is a kind of protection badge to your website, it gives security to your content which present in the website (Copyrights) and gives secure DMCA Protection to your pages. So nobody can able to misuse your content.
