Does DMCA Bot Work for All Countries?
Search Engine Coverage
DMCA Bot submits takedowns to Google and Bing globally — both search engines apply takedowns across all regional domains (google.de, google.co.uk, etc.) when a global request is filed.
Legal Jurisdiction
The DMCA is US law, but it is widely honoured globally because most major internet companies are subject to US jurisdiction or have voluntarily adopted DMCA-style processes. The EU has similar mechanisms under the EU Copyright Directive (Article 17).
My Country Uses Different Copyright Law
If your country uses a different legal framework (e.g., EU Copyright Directive, Australian Copyright Act), DMCA Bot's notices are still effective for deindexing purposes on Google and Bing, as both platforms follow DMCA procedures for all global users.
