Templates

Pick a card, copy the body.

Each card holds the full copy-paste body, the platform references, and a working Copy button. The DMCA §512(c)(3) notice on top is plain text — open it, fill the {{merge_field}} placeholders, and send it from your own authenticated mailbox.

Reference

Fill the merge fields once.

These are the {{placeholders}} referenced inside every template above. Documented once so you don't have to re-read field-name back-references in each card.

Reference
Merge-field glossary
Every {{field}}referenced in the templates above, with the value it expects. Fill these once and reuse them across all seven templates — the present-tense instructions in each body assume you've already done so.
{{creator_legal_name}}
Your full legal name as it should appear on the signature line (e.g. "Jane A. Doe" — not a handle or alias).

Stable URL of the legitimate original (your channel, official upload, etc.).

{{infringing_url_2}}

Date you are sending the notice — most filers leave this blank since the timestamp is auto-stamped.

Recipient name — the service's designated copyright agent (e.g. "Google LLC — Copyright Team").
{{designated_agent_address}}
Multi-line mailing address of the service's designated agent.

Printed name + role for the (A) signature block (e.g. "Marisol Vega, Owner").
