The DMCA does not require ISPs to monitor and it does not require them to search for infringing content. These ISPs cannot monitor their sites for infringing content- it’s just not practical. Luckily, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) has a process for copyright owners who need to notify a service provider about infringements like this.īefore you write to the service provider, there are a few things you need to know about the DMCA and how it offers protection to internet service providers like YouTube and Course Hero. How it happened doesn’t matter- your copyright is being infringed upon and you have the right to get that copy taken down. Maybe someone copied it, maybe it’s been downloaded illegally, maybe you have no idea how it got there.

You’ve found your work on someone else’s website.
