What is a DMCA takedown?

A DMCA takedown notice asks a qualifying online service provider to address claimed copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. section 512.

A notice is not a court order and does not guarantee removal. The recipient evaluates the notice and may remove material, request more information, reject it, or take another action.
