Question 1

Is this legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We file DMCA takedown notices under 17 U.S.C. §512, the same process studios use. You stay the copyright owner; we prepare and send the paperwork on your behalf, on a schedule.

Question 2

Will anyone know it's me filing?

Accepted Answer

A valid DMCA notice must identify the copyright owner or an authorized agent, so by default it carries your legal name and signature. An agency can file anonymously, signing as your authorized agent, which keeps your name off the notice. Notices are sent from our verified address with your reply contact, never a home address.

Question 3

Does it actually work?

Accepted Answer

Most hosts act on a valid notice, but not all do. When a site ignores one, we escalate and prepare removal requests for Google and Bing results, and we recheck every removed link daily. Your dashboard shows the real status of each URL, so you can see what worked.

Question 4

How is this different from doing it myself?

Accepted Answer

You can file by hand, and our free tools help you do that. The difference is repetition: paid plans scan on a schedule (weekly to hourly, depending on plan), find the right abuse contact, file each new URL, and recheck that removed links stay down.

Question 5

What does it cost compared to other services?

Accepted Answer

Usually less. Rulta, for example, lists $139–324/mo on its pricing page (checked September 2026). openDMCA starts at $29/mo with no contract.

Question 6

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, from your dashboard, with no contract. Access continues to the end of the paid period. Cancelling stops the scheduled scans, so new copies are no longer filed automatically.

Question 7

What is a DMCA takedown service?

Accepted Answer

A DMCA takedown service finds unauthorized copies of a copyright holder's work and sends removal requests to the hosts, platforms and search engines carrying them. openDMCA automates that for creators: detection, filing and follow-up.

Question 8

Can openDMCA remove leaked OnlyFans content?

Accepted Answer

Yes. openDMCA is built to find and report unauthorized reposts of paid content, including OnlyFans leaks. The removal options available depend on where the content is hosted and how each platform responds.

Question 9

Do I have to upload my private content to run a scan?

Accepted Answer

No. A username scan does not require uploading private content. Additional information is requested later only when it is needed to submit a valid takedown request.

Question 10

How quickly is leaked content removed?

Accepted Answer

It varies by host, platform and hosting provider. openDMCA shows per-URL status in your dashboard (submitted, under review, de-indexed, removed) rather than promising a fixed timeline.

Question 11

Does openDMCA keep monitoring after a takedown?

Accepted Answer

On paid plans, yes. Scans repeat on your plan's schedule (weekly, daily or hourly) and any copy that reappears is filed again.
