How Was This Done?

The fake DMCA notices we found always use the ? back-dated article? technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a ? true original? article and back-dates it, creating a ? fake original? article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original.

What Happens Next?

01

Inform Google about the fake DMCA scam

Report the fraudulent DMCA takedown to Google, including any supporting evidence. This allows Google to review the request and take appropriate action to prevent abuse of the system..

02

Share findings with journalists and media

Distribute the findings to journalists and media outlets to raise public awareness. Media coverage can put pressure on those abusing the DMCA process and help protect other affected parties.

03

Inform Lumen Database

Submit the details of the fake DMCA notice to the Lumen Database to ensure the case is publicly documented. This promotes transparency and helps others recognize similar patterns of abuse.

04

File counter notice to reinstate articles

Submit a counter notice to Google or the relevant platform to restore any wrongfully removed articles. Ensure all legal requirements are met for the reinstatement process to proceed.

05

Increase exposure to critical articles

Expand investigation to identify similar fake DMCAs
