How It Works

Our Enforcement Process

A clear, structured approach to protecting your intellectual property rights.

Report

You submit evidence of an infringement through our contact form or by email, including the infringing listing URL and the original source or licence information.

What You Provide

  • URL of the infringing listing
  • URL of your original work or source
  • The applicable licence type (e.g. CC BY, CC BY-NC)
  • Screenshots or other evidence of the infringement
  • A brief description of the issue

Investigation

Our team verifies the licence terms, documents the violation, and prepares a formal takedown notice citing the relevant legal basis under EU and national law.

Our Investigation Includes

  • Verification of original authorship and licence terms
  • Documentation of the infringing listing with timestamps
  • Legal analysis of the applicable legislation
  • Preparation of a formal notice with full legal citations

Enforcement

We file the takedown notice with the platform's legal or compliance department, setting clear deadlines for action in accordance with the Digital Services Act.

Enforcement Actions

  • Formal takedown notice to the platform
  • Direct correspondence with the seller/infringer
  • Clear legal deadlines for removal
  • Follow-up monitoring to confirm compliance

Escalation

If the platform fails to act within a reasonable timeframe, we escalate through the Digital Services Act's complaint mechanism and engage the relevant national Digital Services Coordinator.

Escalation Paths

  • Article 20 DSA internal complaint mechanism
  • Article 21 out-of-court dispute resolution
  • Referral to the national Digital Services Coordinator
  • Regulatory enforcement proceedings where applicable
