What a DMCA Agent Does (and Why Your Platform Needs One)
If your website, app, or marketplace allows user-generated content, you need a designated DMCA Agent to qualify for Section 512 safe-harbor protection. JACO Digital acts as your agent—receiving and logging takedown notices, maintaining your Copyright Office registration, and guiding your team through required timelines and responses.
