What is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) creates a standardized process for copyright holders to ask GitLaw to take down infringing content. You can find more information about the DMCA at the U.S. Copyright Office’s official website. For more information about how GitLaw handles DMCA requests, please read our DMCA takedown policy.

As with all legal matters, it is always best to consult with a professional about your specific questions or situation. We strongly encourage you to do so before taking any action that might impact your rights. Our guides aren’t legal advice and shouldn’t be taken as such.
