About DMCA Detector
DMCA Detector is a free DMCA checker and monitoring service for Google copyright-removal requests. Enter a domain and it shows every takedown request that names it: who filed it, when, which URLs were listed and what Google did with each one. Save a site and it tells you when a new request appears.
Why it exists
Copyright takedowns can quietly remove pages from Google. Some are legitimate; some are filed carelessly, in bulk, or to hurt a competitor. Google publishes the requests it receives, but the record is built for browsing statistics, not for answering “has anyone filed against my site, and what happened?”. Search Console notices reach only verified owners, and only about their own sites.
DMCA Detector turns that public record into a per-domain answer anyone can get in seconds: site owners, SEO teams checking client sites, lawyers and brand teams, and anyone about to buy a domain.
Where the data comes from
- Google’s Transparency Report. Google publishes copyright-removal requests for Search, covering more than 95% of the requests it has received since July 2011. Request details, filers and per-URL outcomes come from this record.
- The Lumen Database. Where a notice has been archived at Lumen, an independent research project at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center, we link to it so you can read what the notice said.
We show the records as published. We don’t edit them, score them by hand, or decide who is right. Our own aggregate figures are published openly on the live data page.
What DMCA Detector doesn’t do
- It isn’t a law firm and doesn’t give legal advice. The guides explain how the process works; for a decision about your case, speak to a qualified lawyer.
- It doesn’t file takedown notices or counter-notices for you.
- It doesn’t scan the web for copies of your content. That is a different job, done by content scanners.
- It doesn’t sell your data or use advertising trackers. See the Privacy Policy.
Independence
DMCA Detector is independent. It isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Google, the Lumen Database, or DMCA.com.
