I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

DMCA takedown on my original content. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 34 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the Lanham Act. Your state may provide additional protections.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
