The DMCA is the policy, and the first step to following that policy is registering an agent to receive infringement notices with the copyright office. That's an actual paper filing, mailed in, with a fee.
Here's the form: http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/agent.pdf http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/agent.pdf

- dalek2point3 13y agointeresting, is there a way to track notices sent to the copyright office? is this a common way to file for infringing content? I thought the DMCA required you to contact the platform directly?
- dangrossman 13y agoWhen you want to file an infringement notice pursuant to the DMCA, you determine where to send that notice by looking up the service provider's agent at the list on the copyright office website. That's what these filings are for, adding your company's agent to the list, so copyright holders know how to reach you. The notices are sent to the designated agent, not to the copyright office. http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/list/a_agents.html http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/list/a_agents.html
