The Cease & Desist Letter

When you discover someone violating your copyright, the first formal action you should take is to write them a cease & desist letter. This letter will put the infringer on notice of your discovery of the violation, and let the infringer know that you assert ownership over the property. Cease & Desist Letters should be sent Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested.

The Take Down Letter

The “Take Down Notice” will require (in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act DMCA) an Online Service Provider (OSP) to remove from its network the material described by you as infringing on your copyright.

Many offenders will comply after being served with a cease and desist order. Most will comply during the Take Down procedure, and very few will file a counter notification that will require the filing of this lawsuit.

But, for those very few that file a counter notification, we've provided you with the hammer to nail the coffin shut.
