Piracy Monitor can prepare a takedown notice for a listing and send it from your own email account. It fills in the wording for you; check it and make sure it is accurate for your situation before you send it.
Before you start
To send from the app, connect an email provider (Gmail or another email account) in Settings. Until you do, Piracy Monitor shows a banner with a Connect Email → link. You can still copy the notice and send it yourself.
Send a notice
- Open Piracy Monitor from the sidebar.
- Find the report and click Send DMCA in its row. The button shows on reports with the status Discovered.
- Check the To address. Reports found by the automatic scan already have the site's contact filled in.
- If you write under more than one pen name, choose who the notice is from under Send as.
- Under Email Template, keep Default DMCA notice or pick one of your own templates from Email Templates. Templates are filled in with the book title, the infringing address, the ISBN and your name and email.
- Read the Email Subject and Email Body and edit anything you need to.
- Click Send & Mark Sent.
The notice is sent from your connected account, the report's status changes to DMCA Sent, and DMCA notice sent is added to its timeline.
What the default notice contains
The default notice names the book (with its ISBN, if the report has one), gives the address where the copy is being shared, asks for it to be removed, and includes a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the copyright holder, signed with your name and the date. If any of that isn't right for you, edit the body before sending.
Also ask Google to drop the page
At the bottom of the window there's an option to ask Google to remove the page from its search results. Google only takes these requests through its own form, so use Open Google's removal form and Copy the page link. This doesn't take the page down; it stops Google listing it. Tick I filed it with Google (adds a note to this report) to record it on the report's timeline.
Copying instead of sending
Copy Notice copies the standard notice text to your clipboard. If you changed the wording or picked a template, select and copy the text in Email Body instead.
