Copycats are everywhere. Makers watch their products stolen, costing them dearly and jeopardizing their livelihoods. That is why we created Stop Copycats. You just upload the copycat, and we enforce global law to force providers to shut it down immediately.

A few days ago, a tweet went viral: A maker was feeling bad after discovering 2 of his products were had been copied. Check out the screenshots from the Product Hunt launch; it was disheartening. These copycats jeopardize the livelihoods of entrepreneurs, especially smaller ones. So we decided to create this product which is quite simple but works incredibly well. After using it, now the copycat is gone. We use DMCA takedown notices to compel providers to remove the copies. We automated the process of contacting them, and they are legally obliged to comply. We hope this product can help some makers. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the craft!

Hello makers. We totally love the build in public community and we had to do something to fight against the copy cat cases we where experiencing lately. So we decided to build stop copycats to help fighting them, we you really like it and that this helps:
@jacinto_fleta Cheers to the team behind this! Wishing you all the best on this new adventure. What are you most excited about with this launch?

This is really cool but what stops a copycat from reporting the original? Or anyone reporting any site just to be a troll? @jacinto_fleta :) Great work :)

Ofc, I'm not a fan of copycats and generally following someone else's execution 1:1 without original thinking is a poor strategy. But is replicating a site's copy or general layout (without direct references or use of trademarked words) against DMCA rules?

@rrhoover thanks for commenting! The focus is on the product itself. Some individuals purchase a downloadable product and then resell it. If your landing page is super similar to theirs, it is not an issue unless you have used their images.

Jacin, this is a crucial tool for protecting intellectual property! Questions: - Can you share more details on how the DMCA takedown process is automated? - Are there any particular types of content or industries where Stop Copycats has been especially effective? Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin thank you so much! - Can you share more details on how the DMCA takedown process is automated? We automatically find hosting, domain and other providers. And then, we represent the client and send a DMCA take down notice to all of them. As the providers are force by law to comply with the DMCA its working! - Are there any particular types of content or industries where Stop Copycats has been especially effective? To be honest, we just tried with makers. Its more effective when the copy is almost identical. For example, when someone buys your book, boilerplate, script... and redistribute it without your consent
