Automated DMCA Complaint System
A dashboard and Telegram bot for an anti-piracy agency. We designed and built a system that finds infringements in search results, documents each one and prepares the DMCA complaint in the format the platform requires.

Who uses the DMCA system
An anti-piracy agency that files DMCA complaints for its clients, and the operators who handle the cases.
- Operators: a dashboard with queries, pages and screenshots, plus a Telegram bot.
- The agency: grows the service without adding people in step with the volume.
- The agency’s clients: a documented case for every infringement, easy to turn into a report.
Hours of manual work for every complaint
Finding infringements and filing DMCA complaints usually means hours of manual work: watching search results, taking screenshots, writing complaints and tracking each platform’s response. For the agency, this limited how far the business could grow.
- Find infringements without manual searching.
- Collect the evidence automatically.
- Show the operator a ready result with a clear status.
What the DMCA automation includes
Search monitoring
A parser watches Google, Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo for the queries the operator sets.
Queries on a schedule
The operator adds a search query, picks a schedule such as daily and switches it on. Parsing starts right away.
Evidence for each case
Every infringement is saved with a screenshot and supporting data.
Complaints in the platform’s format
The system generates the DMCA complaint in the format the platform requires.
Operator dashboard
Queries, tracked pages, snapshots and screenshots in one view, with filters by name, date and status.
Telegram bot
A Telegram bot for the operator works alongside the dashboard.
How an infringement becomes a complaint
Query
The operator adds a search query and a schedule.
Monitoring
Results from four search engines are parsed and infringements are recorded.
Case
Each infringement gets a screenshot and supporting data.
Complaint
A DMCA complaint in the platform’s format, with a status the operator can follow.
How we built the DMCA automation
We combined three parts into one pipeline: a search-results parser, a dashboard and a Telegram bot for the operator. A legal process became clear working steps, with a status for every complaint.
Parser
Monitors Google, Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo on a schedule.
Evidence
A screenshot and supporting data are saved with each infringement.
Complaint generation
A DMCA complaint is put together in each platform’s format.
Operator tools
A dashboard with queries, pages and screenshots, and a Telegram bot.
