Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
DMCA takedown on my original content. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves content I created over the past 22 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?
Been there. Here's what I learned.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.
Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the DMCA safe harbor provisions. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct compliant with notice requirements.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
