If you put a lot of effort into creating it, you should definitely protect it. And Google DMCA will help you protect your content from plagiarism.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is DMCA<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is a law that protects authorial content in modern era. It is a part of the United States legislation on copyright law. Although the rule governs legal relations in the United States and does not apply to the legal sphere of other states, Google is still forced to adhere to the DMCA, as they are headquartered in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the network <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DMCA protected<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> includes:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">videos;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">audio recordings; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pictures;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">texts and so on.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To use any authorial content, you should get permission from the owner or pay for it because it is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DMCA protected<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Let&#8217;s imagine that there is a piece of music on the website, added without the permission of the author, then it is an obvious violation. In this case, the resource will receive a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">complaint about the violation of DMCA<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As a result, Google will restrict the display of individual pages of such resource or the entire website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the law also specifies several situations when the use of authorial content will not be a violation. These are the situations where the content was taken for display:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not for commercial purposes;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as educational material.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lanet.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DMCA-02.svg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12948\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/lanet.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DMCA-02.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How to check if there is a DMCA complaint on your website<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search Console will help you understand whether a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DMCA complaint<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been filed. In case of complaint, if the resource is added there, you will receive a message, which includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the text of complaint; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a list of documents that violate DMCA; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reference to the rebuttal form.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to Search Console, there are other resources where you can perform a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DMCA review of the website for complaints<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. All you have to do is to type in your website in the search bar, and you will receive information about complaints and requests to delete pages.<\/span><a name=\"3\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>DMCA takedown: step-by-step instructions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to refute the claim officially, you should fill in a special form. It is available at the link in the text of the message:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill in all fields of the form. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Describe stolen material.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specify the website page where the author&#8217;s material is posted and the website page where the plagiarism was posted. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Submit a complaint.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wait for the results of the complaint. Consideration usually takes from 10 to 15 days.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After complaint reviewing and approving, Google either removes the material or blocks access to it. When content is outside Google&#8217;s servers, the search engine blocks access to it. If the claim is unfounded, the request is rejected, and the website easily returns its position on search engine results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In situations where you have become a scammer victim and saw that the authorial content was posted on a third-party resource, or you were traduced, you can fill in a DMCA claim. Then you need to provide:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a complete content description of the infringing resource; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">web queries under which Google links to pages;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">applicant&#8217;s contact details;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">information about the resource owner where the plagiarism is located; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veracity proof of the statement.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lanet.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DMCA-03.svg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12952\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/lanet.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DMCA-03.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"847\" height=\"477\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DDMCA complaint can be seen as an effective tool to combat the illegal use of authorial content. But before filing in a complaint, the right holder must be aware that he is fully financially responsible for this and in some cases must be prepared to confirm the authorship of the text in the court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filing of false claims can lead to blocking of applicant&#8217;s account and other legal consequences. After all, DMCA will not help to fight against competitors or shady promotion, it is a tool for combatting the illegal use of authorial content. If you use DMCA for other purposes, you risk hurting yourself, not the unfairly accused site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want the website to be in the top list, it is better to create high-quality both visual and textual content, <a href=\"https:\/\/lanet.click\/en\/copywriting\/\">order copywriting<\/a> from professionals and use effective legal methods of <a href=\"https:\/\/lanet.click\/en\/seo\/\">SEO promotion<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The content of the resource directly influences ranking on search engine organic results.
