Video, photos & ads

Your footage. Not their campaign.

When your video, photography, or graphics show up in someone else’s ads or posts, we go after it with a cease‑and‑desist, follow-ups, and platform takedowns.

Sponsored
0:07 / 0:30

Your footage at 0:04–0:13

A good fit
  • Your clip cut into someone else’s video ad
  • Your product photos in a competitor’s listing or post
  • Your graphic or illustration in a banner or social ad
  • A full reupload of your video on another channel
What you’ll need
  1. 1The link to the ad or post (an ad ID helps if you have it)
  2. 2A name for your original, plus a link or file if you have one
  3. 3The timestamps or parts that were copied, if it’s video
  4. 4The legal name of whoever owns the rights
Good to know

The details that matter.

Owning a file isn’t always owning the rights

Appearing in footage, commissioning a work, or holding a nonexclusive license doesn’t automatically give you every enforcement right. Tell us about any agreements before you approve a letter.

A letter and a takedown work together

The letter goes straight to the advertiser or account. Takedowns go through each platform’s copyright process. We do both, because removing an ad doesn’t always remove its landing page.

Firm, and backed by the law

The cease‑and‑desist demands they stop and spells out real consequences: takedowns, suspensions, and legal action. Nothing made up, nothing you haven’t approved.

Copyright Hawk is not a law firm. We act as your authorized agent, not your attorney, and don’t give legal advice.

They stole your work.Make them answer for it.

Paste the link, approve the cease‑and‑desist, and we take it from there. Free to start today. Sending opens at launch.
