How do you send Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notifications to AOL, Bing, Google, Yahoo!, and the other major search engines?
How To Send Dmca Notifications.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) grants owners of copyrighted material who have published that material on the Internet special protections, enabling copyright owners to have violators' websites quickly removed from the Web. By sending DMCA notifications to the major search engines and Web directories, you can cause a website to be de-linked, and by sending a notification to the Webmaster's ISP, you can have the site taken down. Download a PDF version of the DMCA from the Library of Congress website.
Sending DMCA Notifications to AOL
If a copyright violator is listed on the Open Directory (DMOZ) or on any other AOL property, you can submit a claim to AOL via email. Follow the steps outlined at AOL Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement.
Sending DMCA Notifications to Google
Google has updated and automated the process of sending DMCA claims. To send a notice of alleged infringement of copyright to Google, you simply need to record the keyword or keyword phrase you used to find the infringing page, the url of the infringing search results or Google Directory page(s), the contact information for the owner of the infringing page, and your url, then send all the information along to Google using the Removing Content From Google tool.
To see examples of our DMCA filings with Google, visit ChillingEffects.org, where Google posts copies of all notices it receives.
Sending DMCA Notifications to Yahoo!
To send a notice to Yahoo!, you simply need to record the keyword or keyword phrase you used to find the infringing page, the url of the infringing search results or Yahoo! Directory page(s), the contact information for the owner of the infringing page, and your url, then send all the information along to Yahoo! using our Sample Yahoo! DMCA Notification Form (23KB Word Document). You may either fax, mail, or email the notification to Yahoo!. Visit Yahoo! Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy for detailed instructions on making a claim of infringement. NOTE: Your first claim of infringement must be either mailed or faxed so that Yahoo! has a legal copy of your signature on file. After that, you can email your claims.
