Filing a Counter-Notice

When a Counter-Notice Applies

If your content was removed by an approved DMCA takedown and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. section 512(g).

Eligibility

• You must be signed in as the author of the removed content.
• The takedown must be approved, and the content must currently be removed under it.
• Only one open counter-notice can exist per takedown.

What You Must Provide

A counter-notice requires a sworn statement, your contact details, your electronic signature, and the statement text supporting your position. You can file it from the counter-notice area of your dashboard.

The Waiting Period

Filing keeps the content hidden and moves it to a counter-notice pending state. The platform forwards your counter-notice to the original complainant. After the statutory waiting period, the content is automatically restored unless the complainant notifies the platform that they have filed a court action.

After Filing

You receive a reference for the counter-notice. Use it to track its status.
