How do I file a DMCA takedown for Martini-generated content?

A valid DMCA takedown notice has six required elements per 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3). One: the URL or specific location of the allegedly infringing content on Martini. Two: identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (registration number if applicable, or a clear description and the original location). Three: your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email. Four: a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. Five: a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, made under penalty of perjury, and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf. Six: a physical or electronic signature.

Email the complete notice to dmca@martini.art. Notices missing required elements may be rejected and returned for completion. If you are filing through legal counsel, include their contact information alongside yours. Notices through casual support channels (the help icon, generic support inboxes) are not the right path — the dmca@ address is the published designated agent contact.

On receipt, the legal team reviews the notice for completeness and apparent validity. Valid notices result in prompt removal or disabling of access to the identified content while the matter is reviewed. The user who created or posted the content is notified with a copy of the notice (with personally identifying information redacted as appropriate) and given the opportunity to file a counter-notice.

Repeat infringement is taken seriously. Per Martini's policy and DMCA safe-harbor requirements, accounts that receive multiple valid takedown notices and lack matching counter-notices may be terminated. The threshold and exact process are documented in the Acceptable Use Policy.

If you are the user whose content was taken down and believe the takedown was a mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter-notice. The counter-notice must include: identification of the material removed and the location where it appeared before removal, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court where you reside (or where Martini is located if outside the US).

On receiving a valid counter-notice, Martini will forward it to the original notice sender. If the original sender does not file a court action seeking a restraining order against the user within 10 to 14 business days, the content is restored. This is the standard safe-harbor counter-notice flow and it is designed to balance the rights of both parties.

DMCA notices apply to copyright infringement specifically. Trademark complaints, defamation, harassment, privacy violations, and right-of-publicity issues are handled through different channels — contact support via the help icon for those categories. False or abusive DMCA notices have legal consequences for the sender under 17 U.S.C. 512(f); use the process honestly and only for genuine copyright infringement claims.

AI-generated content adds nuance to copyright analysis — current US guidance treats purely AI-generated works as not eligible for copyright registration without human authorship contribution. This affects whether a generated work can itself be the subject of an infringement claim. Consult counsel for novel cases. Martini takes notices seriously regardless of the underlying registration status of the claimed work; the platform follows the process and lets the law decide the underlying merits.
