Imagine scrolling the web and suddenly finding your own photo or content for sale on a major stock image site—without your permission. That’s exactly what happened to one of our listeners, and let me tell you, it’s more common than you think.

In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about DMCA takedowns—your secret weapon for getting stolen content removed from the internet. Whether you’re a photographer, content creator, or business owner, you need to know how to fight back when someone takes your work without permission.

If you’ve ever had your content stolen, you’re not powerless. Use the legal tools at your disposal and take back control of your work.

Stay legally legit, and I’ll see you next week for another important legal deep dive!
