For independent films
DMCA takedown service for film & video
Find pirated copies of your movie, capture the evidence, and send DMCA and EU takedown notices that actually stick — without the enterprise price tag. Takedown Guard automates the grunt work and keeps you as the rights-holder on record.
What's included
Daily monitoring
We scan torrent indexers, streaming sites, cyberlockers and download boards for copies of your film — every day, not once.
Evidence capture
For each copy: a timestamped full-page screenshot, the exact URL, host and registrar details, and the raw HTML — the proof hosts and Google actually act on.
Ready-to-send notices
We pre-write the exact DMCA (US) or EU DSA notice for each copy, addressed to the right host or platform. You review and send from your own email.
Kill-the-source tracing
We trace streaming copies to the file host that actually serves the video, so one notice can clear several mirror sites at once.
Removal verification
We re-check each copy and confirm when it's genuinely gone — with fresh proof — instead of assuming a sent notice means a removed file.
Escalation paths
Google Search delisting, Cloudflare host reveals, registrars and ad/payment networks for the sites that ignore a first notice.
How it works
- 1
Add your title
Tell us the film you want to protect. Setup takes a minute.
- 2
We find & document the copies
Automated scanning surfaces infringing copies and builds an evidence package for each.
- 3
Send the takedowns
Review the pre-written notices and send them from your own account — you stay the rights-holder on record.
- 4
We verify & keep watch
We confirm removals and keep scanning, so re-uploads get caught and re-filed.
You stay in control — we're a tool, not a middleman
Notices go out from your own authenticated email, on your authorization. Platforms increasingly reject third-party requests without a formal power of attorney; sending as the rights-holder directly gets your takedowns acted on faster. Takedown Guard is software you control — it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

Frequently asked questions
› What does this DMCA takedown service actually do?
It automates the whole takedown workflow for your film: finding pirated copies across torrent, streaming and download sites, capturing timestamped evidence for each, and generating the exact DMCA or EU takedown notice ready to send. You send the notices from your own account, so you remain the rights-holder on record.
› Do you guarantee every copy is removed?
No honest service can guarantee 100% removal — some overseas hosts ignore notices, and pirates repost. What we do is make each notice as effective as possible (backed by hard evidence), verify when copies are actually gone, escalate the stubborn ones via Google delisting and host/registrar pressure, and keep monitoring so re-uploads are caught quickly.
› Which sites and platforms do you cover?
Torrent indexers, illegal streaming sites, cyberlockers and video hosts, and download/release boards — over 100 of the sites pirates actually use, and the list grows constantly. We also support takedowns to major platforms and search-engine delisting.
› How is this different from a generic DMCA takedown service?
Generic services blast text-only notices on keyword matches, which hosts increasingly ignore, and they're built for any content. Takedown Guard is film-specific and evidence-first: it confirms the copy is live, captures visual and technical proof, traces streaming copies to their source host, and keeps you as the sender — all of which get notices acted on faster.
› What does it cost?
We're onboarding a small number of independent filmmakers and distributors directly, free, while we grow — no pricing tiers to think about yet. If you're losing revenue to pirated copies of your film, get in touch.
› Does it handle both US DMCA and EU takedowns?
Yes. We generate DMCA notices under US Section 512 and notices under the EU's Digital Services Act, and address each to the right host or platform regardless of where the server sits.
