Anti-Piracy Takedown Only Guide

DoveRunner’s Anti-Piracy Takedown Only module enables content rights owners and distributors to efficiently report and remove infringing content from the internet. Users can submit suspected piracy links through a centralized console, where the DoveRunner team validates each URL and initiates takedown actions with relevant platforms.

The system provides end-to-end visibility into the takedown process, including status updates and turnaround times, ensuring transparency and effective enforcement of content protection efforts.

This workflow is organized into three main areas accessible via tabs at the top of the screen:

1. Dashboard — A centralized, real-time overview of takedown activity across all registered assets, featuring graphical insights and key performance metrics for quick analysis and decision-making.
2. Asset Details — Register and manage assets by adding content metadata to enable accurate tracking and takedown enforcement.
3. Infringing URLs — Submit, view, filter, and export the list of infringing URLs you have identified for takedown.

Asset Details

The Asset Details tab allows you to register and manage the content assets for which you want to submit takedown requests. Each registered asset is displayed in a structured table view, providing clear visibility into its configuration and current status.

Asset Table Columns

Asset Name	The official title of the content being monitored.	Y	Conjuring
Copyright Owner Names	Name(s) of the legal copyright holder(s). Multiple entries can be added individually.	Y	Warner Bros Entertainment

Follow the same steps as the Takedown Only registration above, but select the Live Streaming tab in step 3 and fill in the relevant live stream metadata before clicking Complete Registration.

Note

The Live Streaming tab is designed for assets that are broadcast in real time. Ensure the monitoring start and end dates align with the scheduled broadcast window.

Editing an Asset

1. Click the Pencil (Edit) icon in the Asset Actions column for the asset you want to modify.

2. The edit form opens with the current asset details pre-populated.

3. Make the desired changes and click Update Asset.

Cloning an Asset

1. Click the Clone icon (third icon in Asset Actions).

2. A registration form opens pre-filled with the original asset’s settings — except Asset Name and Official URL, which must be unique per asset.

3. Enter the new Asset Name and Official URL, adjust any other fields as needed, and click Complete Registration.

Note

Cloning is useful when registering multiple similar assets (e.g., episodes of the same series or recurring live events) with identical configurations.

Filtering Assets

Use the filter controls above the asset table to narrow the displayed results, then click Search:

Filter	Description
Asset Name	Filter assets by title.
Duration	Filter by a specific monitoring duration range.
Monitoring Status	Filter by ON or OFF status.

Pagination

Use the Rows per page dropdown at the bottom of the table to set how many assets are shown per page. Use the arrow buttons to navigate between pages (e.g., 1–10 of 25 • Page 1 of 3).

Letter of Authority (LOA) Requirement

To initiate takedown actions, DoveRunner requires a valid Letter of Authority (LOA) from the content rights owner or an authorized representative.

The LOA serves as formal authorization permitting DoveRunner to act on behalf of the rights holder when submitting DMCA complaints and other legal notices to platforms hosting infringing content. Without this authorization, platforms typically do not process takedown requests, as proof of ownership or representation is mandatory for legal compliance. Providing a valid LOA ensures that takedown requests are actioned promptly, reduces the risk of rejection, and enables DoveRunner to enforce content protection effectively across multiple platforms.

Users can download the LOA template from the LOA Management tab, fill in the required details, and submit it with a valid authorized signature for verification.

Infringing URLs

Once the LOA is submitted proceed with the next step of providing the infringing urls to be removed. The Infringing URLs tab is where you submit infringing links for takedown and track the status of all previously submitted URLs. All submitted URLs are displayed in a searchable, filterable table.

Asset Takedown Overview

The Asset Takedown Overview table ranks your registered assets by the number of infringing links submitted. For each asset it shows:

• Rank (#)
• Asset Name
• Number of Links Submitted

Use the pagination arrows at the bottom of the table to browse all assets. This view helps prioritize which assets have the highest volume of takedown activity.

Domain Count Chart

The Domain Count bar chart visualizes the distribution of submitted infringing URLs by domain. Each bar represents a unique domain; bar height indicates the number of infringing links submitted from that domain within the selected date range. A horizontal scroll bar allows browsing when many domains are present.

Note

The dashboard is not fixed — it can be customized based on your requirements to provide the level of detail and analytics you need. Contact contact@doverunner.com for customization requests.
