DMCA Agent Services

What is a DMCA Designated Agent?

Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), online service providers that host user-generated content must designate an agent to receive copyright infringement notifications. This agent must be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office to qualify for the DMCA's safe harbor protections.

Without a properly designated DMCA agent, your business may be held directly liable for copyright infringement by your users—even if you had no knowledge of the infringing activity.
