: Do I have to provide email and an agent for Copyright Complaints? I have a website and it works better for me to just have an online Copyright Complaint form, under DMCA Notice of Alleged

I have a website and it works better for me to just have an online Copyright Complaint form, under DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement.

But I see that big websites accept notices through email and through a designated agent with telephone and physical direction (apart from the online form). But that would be more work for me.

Is that a legal requirement or with the online form would be just fine?

There is no specific requirement on how to receive takedown notices as long as third party authors can send you notices easily. Dropbox, for example, has an online form:



While 500px uses an email address only:



It's worth reading the current best practices on DMCA takedown notices (we researched DMCA here):


Make your process clear
Provide multiple links to your DMCA section, i.e. in your Terms agreement, in the footer of your website, in a FAQ section of your website.
Provide your contact information or a contact form
Help third parties authors to send you a complete report, i.e. users should provide the URL with the infringing content to you. Consider Dropbox's example from above.
