Most Takedowns Stop. We Don't.
A leak site that ignores your notice has made a business decision.
So we go after the business. When a site won't take your content down, we keep going — to the company hosting it, then to the advertisers and payment companies keeping it in business.
See PlansNotice to the site
A formal takedown notice goes out the moment your content is found.
Out of search results
We get the page pulled from Google and other search engines, so people stop finding it.
The hosting company
The company keeping the site online gets told what's on its servers.
The advertisersMax
The ad companies paying that site find out what their ads are running next to.
The payment companiesMax
The companies processing the site's subscriptions hear about it too.
Every plan escalates. Max takes it all the way to the money.
A Notice Only Works On Someone Who Answers
Real platforms take content down when you ask. They have legal teams and reputations to protect, so they act.
Leak sites don't. Plenty of them sit on servers in countries that don't care about US copyright law, run by people who never reply to anything. The notice arrives, nothing happens, and for most services that's the end of it. Sent, logged, moved on.
But those sites still have to get paid. They run ads. They sell subscriptions. Behind every one of them is a company placing those ads and a company moving that money — and both of those have rules about what they'll be associated with.
That's the pressure point. The site owner may not care about your notice. The companies paying him care a lot.
Three Layers Past The First Notice
Each one reaches a company with its own reason to act, and each is harder to ignore than the last.
The hosting company
Hosts have rules, and repeated copyright complaints put an account at risk. Once a host knows what's sitting on its servers, it has to decide whether one customer is worth the trouble.
The advertisers
Ad companies sell space to brands that absolutely do not want to appear next to stolen content. Their own rules usually forbid it. Showing them exactly where their ads are running gets attention fast.
The payment companies
Payment companies answer to the card networks and to regulators about what they'll handle. A leak site that can't take payments has lost the reason it exists. This is the layer they feel most.
What Makes This Ours
You don't have to ask
Escalation is part of what you already pay for. No support ticket, no chasing an account manager, no asking someone to please try again. The notice goes unanswered, the next step happens.
Real addresses, checked
A takedown notice is a legal statement, so it goes to a confirmed contact or it doesn't go at all. We verify who actually receives complaints at each company before anything is sent.
Backed by your record
Every escalation points to your certificate of ownership. The complaint shows up with dated paperwork attached instead of just a claim that the work is yours.
It doesn't reset
If your content turns up again on a site we've already gone after, that history stays attached. A repeat offender looks very different to a host or a payment company than a first-time complaint does.
You can watch it happen
Every step is in your dashboard: what was found, where the notice went, and what stage it's reached. You're never waiting on an email to find out.
What We're Aiming For
Escalation works by making your content expensive to keep. Sometimes that ends a site. More often it gets your work pulled down while the site carries on, which is the outcome that actually matters to you.
It also runs on other companies' timelines, so it works in the background over weeks rather than minutes. The upside is that it keeps working while you get on with creating.
We focus on the copies that cost you money — the ones getting traffic, showing up in search, and reaching people who would have paid you. Those are the ones we chase, and we don't stop at the first notice.
What Creators Ask Us
What is financial escalation?
It means going after the companies that pay a leak site when the site itself ignores your takedown notice. We contact the company hosting it, and on Max we also contact the ad companies running ads on the page and the companies processing its subscriptions.
Do I have to ask for it?
No. It's part of how enforcement runs. When a notice goes unanswered, the next step follows on its own, and you can watch the whole thing from your dashboard.
Which plan includes it?
Every plan escalates. Notices, search engine removal and hosting company escalation are included at every level. Max adds the advertisers and payment companies, which is the layer site owners feel hardest.
How long does it take?
A cooperative host can act in hours or days. The advertisers and payment companies run their own reviews, so that side plays out over weeks. It keeps running in the background either way, without you doing anything.
Will my name be on it?
Notices go out under your stage name. Your legal name is encrypted, held only as proof of ownership, and never sent anywhere without your approval.
Does the whole site get shut down?
That happens, and it's satisfying when it does. The goal is simpler: make carrying your work more trouble than it's worth, so it comes down and stays down. Whether the site survives after that is the site's problem.
