Under the legislation governing intellectual property in the United States, the term “DMCA” refers to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. It protects the rights and responsibilities of those who have the copyright to works that have had their rights violated by others (usually online). The laws of the DMCA also apply to the rights and obligations of Internet Service Providers as well as the servers or networks on which the content that is considered to be infringing was posted.

How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice?
In order to accomplish this, you will need to follow a few steps;
You must, first and foremost, recover the stuff that was taken without your permission.
If this is the case, you should go to the Google DMCA page and file a complaint about the infringement.
You will need to choose the category that is labeled “Google search”
After that, select the alternatives that are suitable for your circumstances.
The next step is for you to select the Google Product, provide an explanation for why you are submitting the DMCA Notice, and verify that you are the owner of the copyright.
After being chosen, you will be sent a link to a form, which, when clicked, will take you to a page where you can report pages that include content that violates your intellectual property rights. Depending on the kind of website that stole your content, you will have access to a variety of different kinds of platforms to pick from.
What Are the Next Steps?
When you have finished submitting the DMCA complaint, Google will evaluate it and then take the appropriate next steps. In addition, there is a portal for DMCA transparency that allows users to view the total number of DMCA takedown requests that Google has satisfied. However, errors are still committed on a fairly regular basis.
Due to low copyright law awareness, image theft remains a pressing issue. Plenty of users online do it out of ignorance but it is you who loses the money because of that. Google is getting smarter at finding pages with duplicated content and stolen photos online but it is still far from being accurate.
