Audit DMCA complaint history from your browser
Watchlist monitoring, sender forensics, and counter-notice templates — powered by Google Transparency Report. No account required.
What this is, and what it is not
DMCA Watch is not a real-time alert system. Google publishes copyright removal data through its Transparency Report, but that data is approximately 30–60 days behind real time. By the time a new complaint shows up in the dataset, the URL has already been gone from search results for one or two months. No tool built on public data can warn you before the damage.
What DMCA Watch is is the audit and pattern-detection tool that should already exist. It pulls DMCA requests against your domains from Google's Transparency Report, accumulates that history locally, and shows you who has been hitting you, how often, and how badly. It surfaces the repeat-offender reporters. It gives you the historical record you need to file informed counter-notices and recognize patterns before you waste another quarter wondering why your traffic is sliding.
If you want to know everything that has happened so far, and to see the pattern clearly, that is what this tool is for.
Key Features
Everything you need to audit DMCA activity against your domains.
Watchlist Monitoring
Add your domains to a watchlist. The extension checks them on a schedule against Google Transparency Report and accumulates complaint history over time.
Sender Forensics
See who files against you: reporting organization, copyright owner, total complaints, monthly activity timeline, and which other domains in your watchlist they have targeted.
Historical Audit
Full complaint history from Google Transparency Report, accumulated locally across refreshes. Once a complaint is stored it stays until you remove the domain.
Counter-Notice Templates
DMCA §512(g) counter-notice templates you can copy, edit, and submit. We don't file for you — counter-notices are legal documents you sign under penalty of perjury.
No Account Required
No API key, no email exchange, no approval process. Install the extension, add your domains, look at the data. Google Transparency Report is a public source.
Pattern Detection
Top contributors card, repeat-offender reporters, cross-domain targeting analysis. See the pattern with your own eyes — we don't slap labels on anyone.

About the extension
DMCA Watch gives webmasters a practical, browser-native way to audit the DMCA complaint history of their domains. Add your domains to a watchlist, let the extension check them on a schedule against Google Transparency Report, and review every removal action Google has acted on for your sites — who filed them, on whose behalf, how many URLs were targeted, and how many were actually removed.

Google's Transparency Report has been public since 2011. Every copyright removal request Google has acted on for Search is in there, indexed by domain, by reporting organization, by copyright owner. But searching is not monitoring. Going to transparencyreport.google.com every morning to paste each of your domains into the search box is not a strategy, especially if you operate ten or fifty or two hundred domains.
This extension does not provide legal advice, does not submit counter-notices on your behalf, does not inject warnings into pages, and does not claim to offer real-time alerts. It is a focused monitoring and audit tool for people who manage sites and need an operational view of the takedown notices their domains have collected.
DMCA Watch is part of the 301.st webmaster toolkit — the same line that produced VirusTotal Domain Monitor, Redirect Inspector, CookiePeek, and others. Tools built by operators for operators.
