RULE · 01
We verify ownership before we act
No notice leaves until we have seen evidence that you hold the rights you are asserting. A false claim exposes you to liability and gets your account sanctioned.

About us
A private rights-protection service, and a clear statement of what that does and does not mean.
Why this exists
Enforcement is a paperwork problem before it is a legal one
Most creators who get copied never do anything about it. Not because they do not care, and not because the law is against them — it is usually squarely on their side — but because the work of proving it is tedious, technical and easy to get wrong.
You have to find every copy, capture it before it disappears, establish that you own what you say you own, work out which of a dozen possible parties can actually take the page down, and phrase the request in the exact form that party requires. Each step is small. Together they are enough to make most people give up, which is precisely what makes copying at scale worth doing.
Internet Enforcement is built to remove that friction. We do the finding, the documenting and the filing, and we keep a record you can hand to a lawyer if it ever needs to go further.
We are not the authority. We are the party that does the work of showing what happened, so that the actual authorities — platforms, hosts, registrars and courts — can act on it.Statement of position
Standards
What we commit to
These are operating rules, not marketing. They exist because the alternative — volume filing, inflated claims, pressure tactics — damages both the client and the system that makes enforcement possible at all.
RULE · 02
We assess exceptions honestly
Criticism, review, news reporting, education, quotation and parody are protected in most jurisdictions. If a use is likely covered, we tell you rather than filing anyway.
RULE · 03
Every notice is reviewed by a person
We do not run automated bulk filing. Volume without review is how legitimate content gets removed and how rights holders lose credibility with platforms.
RULE · 04
We withdraw when we are wrong
If a counter-notice establishes a licence or a valid exception, the claim is withdrawn promptly and in writing. Being right matters more than winning the exchange.
RULE · 05
We do not send payment demands as leverage
Licensing is negotiated from a documented claim, in the open. We do not operate speculative invoicing, and we will not take a matter where that is the goal.
RULE · 06
We say when you need a lawyer
We are not a law firm. When a matter needs legal advice, court process or jurisdictional strategy, we hand over the file and refer you on rather than stringing it out.
Status and limits
What we are, precisely
Internet Enforcement is a private commercial service. It is owned and operated as a business. It is not a government department, a public authority, a court, a regulator, a police body or an official registry, and it does not act on behalf of any of them.
We hold no statutory power. We cannot compel removal, issue fines, seize property, or impose penalties. Everything we achieve runs through mechanisms that already exist and are open to any rights holder: platform reporting systems, host terms of service, registrar policies, and statutory notice regimes such as the DMCA in the United States and the equivalent provisions in the EU, the UK, the UAE and elsewhere.
We do not provide legal advice. Nothing on this website and nothing in our correspondence constitutes legal advice or creates a lawyer–client relationship. Where a matter requires advice on your specific position, we refer you to qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction.
You remain the rights holder throughout. We act on your instruction and with your authorisation. You can withdraw that authorisation at any time, and you receive the full case file on request.
