Copyright & IP

Instagram and Facebook copyright protection, in both directions

Official channels only

Copyright problems on Meta platforms run in two directions, and we handle both. If someone is reposting your content, selling with your photos or building pages on your work, we file takedowns through Meta's official intellectual property reporting channels. If you are the one hit by a false or abusive copyright strike, we manage the counter-notice and retraction process that gets wrongful strikes reversed. Everything runs through Meta's official IP machinery, and we never file a claim we cannot stand behind.

Sound familiar?

Situations we handle

  • Your photos, videos or designs are being reposted by other accounts, with your watermark cropped or your credit removed.
  • A seller is using your product photography or brand name to sell counterfeit or competing goods.
  • A fan page or aggregator has built its whole audience on your content and refuses to take it down.
  • You received copyright strikes for content you own, licensed or made yourself, and your account is now at risk.
  • A competitor is filing false copyright complaints against you to get your content or account removed.

The process

What working with us looks like

01

Free case review

You show us the content, the infringing posts or the strike notices. We tell you honestly which side of the process applies, what the evidence looks like and whether the case has a real basis. Weak ownership claims get declined, plainly.

02

Rights inventory

We document what you own and how you can prove it: originals with metadata, first-publication dates, licenses, brand registrations. Meta reviewers process IP reports mechanically, so the proof has to be complete before anything is filed.

03

Official filings

For theft: takedown reports through Meta official IP reporting forms, per post and per account, in the format reviewers act on fastest. For false strikes: counter-notifications and retraction requests, worded accurately, because a counter-notice is a formal statement with real consequences.

04

Tracking and escalation

We track every report, resubmit where a report is wrongly rejected and escalate repeat infringers toward account-level enforcement, which is what actually stops serial reposters.

05

Strike hygiene

After the case we set up the habits that prevent the next one: how to license, credit and document your content so future disputes are short, and how to respond to strikes so one bad complaint never snowballs into a disabled account.

Before we start

What we need from you

  • Links to the infringing posts or the strike notices you received, as screenshots.
  • Your originals: source files, raw footage or the earliest published versions you control.
  • Any licenses, releases or agreements that touch the content in question.
  • A short honest history: where the content came from and who else might claim rights to it.
  • Brand or trademark registration documents, if the case involves your brand name.

Straight answer

About success rates

Clear-cut theft, your original content reposted without permission, comes down reliably on accepted cases, often within days. Disputes with murky licensing histories move slower and sometimes need the rights holders to talk. False-strike reversals succeed on most accepted cases, but we only accept them when the evidence shows the strike was actually wrong. We never file false or exaggerated claims for anyone, at any price.

Frequently asked questions

How fast do takedowns actually happen?

Straightforward reports against clear infringement are often processed within a few days. Volume matters: one account reposting fifty of your posts needs a structured set of reports, not one, and that is part of what we manage.

Can you remove every repost of my content across Instagram and Facebook?

We can remove what can be found and what infringes. We prioritize the accounts doing damage: sellers, large aggregators, monetized reposters. Chasing every ten-follower fan page is rarely worth your money, and we will say so.

I actually used someone else’s music or clip and got a strike. Can you remove it?

No. If the strike is valid we decline the case, because filing a counter-notice against a legitimate claim is a false statement with legal consequences for you. What we can do is advise on preventing the next strike and protecting the account going forward.

A competitor keeps filing fake complaints against me. Is there a real remedy?

Yes. Counter-notifications, retraction pressure and documented abuse reports against the complainant. Meta does act against repeat abusive claimants, and a well-documented pattern is what makes that happen.

Do I need a lawyer for this?

Usually not for the platform process itself, which is what we manage. If the dispute escalates into court or a formal legal demand, that step belongs to a lawyer, and we prepare the platform-side evidence so your counsel starts with a complete file. We are not a law firm.
