How to File a DMCA Take down Notice
If a blogger steals your blog content, the only way you can force him to takedown those contents is simply by reporting him to Google’s DMCA.
DMCA was formed to help bloggers, website owners, photographers etc. fight plagiarism. Are your contents being plagiarized? Then you need to file a DMCA complaint against those sites.
How can I report sites that are stealing my contents?
If you report a blog created on the blogger platform, Google will easily remove the contents directly because they are the owner of the platform and they have access to it.
But if the blog you’re reporting for plagiarism is on another platform like WordPress, you will have to file for the URL to be removed from Google search…
but on our today’s post we will discuss how to take down a copied blog on the blogger/BlogSpot platform. The below tutorial will easily guide you through.
Note: This post will show you how to remove the copied content from the blog and from Google Search permanently.
The complete steps of Removing your copied content from a blogspot blog
First off, click here to go to “Google DMCA legal” page
Note: You will have to log-in using your Gmail account before proceeding.
On the “Legal Removal Request” page, click “Submit a Legal Request” and click “Tool” (see image below)
Clicking the “Tool” link will take you to a new tab >>> on this tab, if you’re reporting a BlogSpot user or any Google power user, you can click on any of the listed (see image)
Click the “Blogger/Blogspot” button >>> scroll down to “what can we help you with” and click “I have a legal issue that is not mentioned above” and click “I have found content that may violate my copyright”
In the “Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on his/her behalf?” Click “Yes, I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf”
In “What is the allegedly infringing work in question?” click “other” and you will get an instruction like the screenshot below…
Now read the instruction and click the last link to fill out the DMCA complaint form…

Fill and submit the form… those links that copied from you will be removed from the blog and on Google search engine within 2days.
