SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Drafting a DMCA takedown notice, counter-notice, or triage memo for an incoming notice is high-stakes work that requires correct statutory elements and careful handling of fair use, perjury, and jurisdiction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three DMCA modes: draft a §512(c)(3) takedown, triage a received takedown with comply/counter/engage/ignore options, or draft a §512(g)(3) counter-notice.
  • Fair-use and perjury gates: enforces a Lenz fair-use consideration gate and a loud perjury gate before any final takedown/counter-notice output is produced.
  • Element-by-element drafting: generates notice language with the required DMCA elements (including good-faith belief and §512(f) perjury statements) and routes decisions to attorney review when required.

Quick Start

Send the DMCA takedown by running: /ip-legal:takedown --send

Frequently Asked Questions about takedown

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a DMCA takedown notice with required statutory elements?

DMCA takedown notices must include specific §512(c)(3) statutory elements like good-faith belief and perjury statements. This skill drafts compliant notices by loading IP practice context and enforcing perjury gates before generating the final output.

What should I do when I receive a DMCA takedown notice against my content?

When you receive a takedown notice, you can triage it to determine whether to comply, counter, engage, or ignore. This skill generates a triage memo assessing fair use under Lenz and routes decisions for attorney review when required.

How do I write a DMCA counter-notice to restore removed content?

A DMCA counter-notice under §512(g)(3) requires specific statutory elements and a perjury statement. This skill drafts compliant counter-notices by enforcing jurisdiction consent checks and perjury gates before producing the final document.

Does fair use need to be assessed before sending a takedown notice?

Yes, fair use must be considered before sending a takedown notice under the Lenz ruling. This skill enforces a fair-use consideration gate that blocks final takedown output until the assessment is complete.

Can I use this to handle copyright enforcement across different jurisdictions?

DMCA takedowns are specific to US copyright law, but this skill enforces jurisdiction consent gates during drafting. It routes matters to attorney review when jurisdictional requirements exceed standard automated workflows.

What are the limitations of automated DMCA takedown drafting tools?

Automated drafting cannot replace attorney review for complex fair use or jurisdictional issues. This skill enforces perjury gates and explicitly routes high-stakes decisions to legal counsel rather than generating final notices blindly.
