ETSY DMCA TAKEDOWN PROCESS

If you believe that your copyright has been infringed on Etsy, you may file a DMCA takedown notice with them. This notice will require you to provide certain information, including the copyright registration number for the work that you believe has been infringed. Once they receive this notice, they will remove the infringing material from their site and may also contact the seller to let them know that their listing has been removed.

The seller may then file a counternotification, claiming that they did not infringe on your copyright. If ETSY receives this counternotification, they may restore the listing to their site. However, you may still be able to sue the seller for copyright infringement and damages.

In this video, Attorney Steve® talks about a unique approach being used in "small claims" copyright claims board ("CCB") process to seek damages under 17 U.S.C. 512(f) for filing an alleged bad faith DMCA counter notice. Will it work? Time will tell.
