Lookup

You found the copy. Now find who to tell.

Paste the address of the page that copied you. We trace the network that hosts it, the CDN in front of it and the registrar of the domain, then check each one against the U.S. register of DMCA designated agents.

Try a ready example:

Nothing is stored unless you ask for alerts. No account, and the address you look up is not kept.

01
The gap

Why the register is hard to use from a URL

The federal register of designated agents can only be searched by company name. You have a link. Nothing on that page tells you which company holds the network, which CDN sits in front of it, or under which legal name that company filed — and the name on the filing is often not the name on the website. Getting from a URL to a filed agent is four separate lookups and one educated guess. That is the gap this fills, and the only thing it does.

Questions

Questions people actually ask

Is this legal advice?
No. We show public records and link to the official filing. What you send, and whether you send anything, is your decision.
Why not print the agent’s contact details here?
Because the official record is the authoritative copy and it is amended without notice. A stale phone number in a takedown notice is worse than no number at all, so we link to it instead.
The result shows a CDN, not the real host. Now what?
A CDN hides the origin on purpose. Its designated agent is still a legitimate place to file, and most CDNs forward a valid notice to the customer’s host.
How current is the register data?
Every provider page states the date its record was read. Open the official filing before you send anything — it always wins over our copy.

Limits

When this will not help you

  • The copy sits on a large platform that runs its own takedown form. File there — it is faster than the register route.
  • The page is behind a login, or the name does not resolve to a public address at all.
  • You want to know which person is behind the site. That is not in these records and we will not guess it.
  • You need the notice written for you. We find the route; the wording stays yours.
