DMCA Takedown and Counter-Notification Procedures

Why it matters

This provision outlines a formal legal process for protecting your intellectual property rights or defending against wrongful takedowns, with liability for knowingly false claims under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

Consumer impact

By using Midjourney, you grant the company a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use everything you create or upload, even after you cancel your account. Commercial users at companies earning over $1 million annually must subscribe to a Pro or Mega plan to retain ownership of their generated assets, and all legal disputes are resolved through mandatory private arbitration rather than the court system. You can review your subscription plan tier and upgrade to Pro or Mega if your business exceeds the revenue threshold to ensure asset ownership rights.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Dispute a Fee
    Email takedowns@midjourney.com with subject 'Takedown Request', including your signature, identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the infringing material, your contact information, a good faith belief statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act. Alternatively, use the Google Form linked in the Terms.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    Copyright infringement and DMCA compliance on consumer-facing platforms may involve FTC consumer protection oversight in conjunction with copyright law enforcement.
