DMCA & Online Infringement Takedown Playbook
How the evidence record can support a takedown request under mechanisms such as the DMCA or the EU Digital Services Act, and how it can be provided to the platform or to your counsel. General information, not legal advice.
Timestamped Records in DMCA & Takedown Requests
Extract Public Certificate & Proof Files
From your IP Vault dashboard, download the official PDF Certificate, SHA-256 Digest, the eIDAS RFC 3161 Qualified Timestamp (.tsr), and the Bitcoin OpenTimestamps anchor (.ots). Both cryptographic proof files are automatically generated on every protection run.
Serve Statutory DMCA Notice
Attach your public verification URL (e.g. /verify-id/...) to the Designated Copyright Agent form on GitHub, AWS, Google, or Shopify.
Defeat Counter-Notices
If the infringer files a bad-faith counter-notice, present the eIDAS RFC 3161 Qualified Timestamp (.tsr) and Bitcoin OpenTimestamps block proof (.ots) — both automatically issued by IP Vault — to trigger immediate hosting termination and statutory burden-shifting under eIDAS Art. 41(2).
