DMCA counter notice
A DMCA counter notice is the uploader's formal objection asking a platform to restore content removed by a mistaken or abusive takedown.
Process
The platform forwards it to the claimant; unless they sue within about 10 to 14 business days, the content is restored.
Risk
Your address is shared and you accept US court jurisdiction. Template: counter notice.
Frequently asked questions
A competitor keeps filing fake takedowns. What now?
File counter notices and report the abuse to the platform; knowingly false notices create liability.
