Enforcement Policy
Last Updated: April 2026
1. How Sigma DMCA Acts
Sigma DMCA S.A. employs a multi-layered enforcement approach that combines advanced technology with legal expertise to protect copyrighted content globally. Our enforcement actions are carried out systematically, transparently, and in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
1.1 Detection Phase
Our proprietary monitoring systems continuously scan digital platforms, streaming services, social media networks, and IPTV systems for unauthorized use of protected content. We utilize audio and video fingerprinting, watermark detection, and AI-powered content matching to identify potential infringements with high accuracy.
1.2 Verification Phase
Every detected potential infringement undergoes a rigorous verification process before any enforcement action is taken. Our legal team reviews each case to confirm the validity of the copyright claim, the accuracy of the detection, and the appropriateness of the proposed enforcement action.
1.3 Enforcement Phase
Upon verification, we deploy the appropriate enforcement action, which may include: DMCA takedown notices, platform-specific content removal requests, cease and desist communications, ISP notifications, or legal escalation proceedings.
2. Authorization Requirements
Sigma DMCA S.A. acts only on behalf of verified copyright holders or their authorized representatives. Before initiating any enforcement action, we require:
- Proof of copyright ownership or authorization to act on behalf of the owner
- Specific identification of the protected works
- Written authorization granting Sigma DMCA S.A. the right to act as designated agent
- Contact information for the rights holder or authorized representative
- Confirmation that the enforcement request is made in good faith
3. Good Faith Actions
3.1 Commitment to Accuracy
All enforcement actions taken by Sigma DMCA S.A. are conducted in good faith and with a genuine belief that the targeted content constitutes copyright infringement. We employ multiple verification steps to minimize the risk of erroneous enforcement actions.
3.2 Proportional Response
We believe in proportional enforcement. Our response to infringement is calibrated to the severity and nature of the violation. Minor or first-time infringements may be addressed through notification, while persistent or large-scale piracy operations may warrant more aggressive legal action.
3.3 Due Process
We respect the rights of all parties involved in the enforcement process. Alleged infringers have the right to respond to notices, file counter-notifications, and contest enforcement actions through appropriate legal channels. We process all counter-notifications in accordance with DMCA requirements.
3.4 Transparency
We maintain detailed records of all enforcement actions and provide regular reports to our clients. Our enforcement activities are documented and auditable, ensuring accountability and transparency in all our operations.
4. Escalation Procedures
When standard enforcement measures are insufficient, Sigma DMCA S.A. may escalate actions through the following channels:
- Direct communication with platform legal departments
- Coordination with international law enforcement agencies
- Filing of court orders for persistent infringers
- ISP-level blocking requests in applicable jurisdictions
- Collaboration with industry anti-piracy organizations
