2. Initial Notice Follow-Up

Free EUCD follow-up template for when an EU platform has not responded to your initial copyright notice

Overview

This template is for following up on a EUCD copyright notice when an EU-based platform has not responded or taken action within a reasonable timeframe (typically 10 business days after your initial notice).

Free to Use

This template is provided free of charge for your use. However, Adult Model Protection is not liable for any outcomes resulting from the use of this template. For complex cases or legal advice, please consult with an attorney.

When to Use

Only use this template if you have already sent an initial EUCD notice and received no response after 10 business days. Do not send follow-ups prematurely — platforms need reasonable time to process requests.

When to Use This Template

Use this follow-up notice when:

  • You sent an initial EUCD notice 10+ business days ago
  • You received no response or acknowledgment
  • The infringing content is still live
  • You verified you sent to the correct contact
  • You checked spam/junk folders for responses

Do NOT use if:

  • Less than 10 business days have passed
  • Platform has responded (even if content not yet removed)
  • You haven't sent an initial notice yet (use initial notice template first)
  • Content has been removed
  • Platform requested additional information (provide that instead)

Before You Send

  1. Verify initial notice: Confirm it was sent to the correct email
  2. Check for responses: Check inbox, spam/junk, and promotions folders
  3. Confirm content still exists: Visit each infringing URL and take fresh screenshots
  4. Gather: Date of initial notice, copy of original notice, any reference numbers

Dear Copyright Representative for {Name of Website/Platform}:

This is a follow-up to my copyright infringement notice submitted on
{Date of Initial Notice} under the EU Copyright Directive (Directive
2019/790/EU). I have not received a response to my original notice, and
the infringing content remains accessible on your website.

I submitted a complete and valid copyright infringement notice under
Directive 2019/790/EU on the date above. A copy of my original notice
is included below for your reference.

As of {Current Date}, {number of days} business days after my initial notice:

3. LEGAL OBLIGATIONS UNDER EU LAW

Under Article 17 of Directive 2019/790/EU, online content-sharing service
providers must make best efforts to ensure the unavailability of specific
works upon notification by rights holders. Failure to act expeditiously
upon receiving a valid notice may result in:

• Loss of liability exemption under Article 17
• Direct liability for copyright infringement under EU and national law
• Regulatory action by national competent authorities
• Damages under applicable national copyright law

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

4. URGENT REQUEST FOR ACTION

I respectfully but urgently request that you:

1. Acknowledge receipt of this follow-up notice within 24 hours
2. Remove or disable access to the infringing content within 48 hours
3. Provide confirmation once the content has been removed
4. Explain any delays in processing my original notice

If I do not receive a response or see action taken within 5 business days
of this follow-up notice, I will escalate to your hosting provider, domain
registrar, and relevant national copyright enforcement authorities.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

5. REAFFIRMATION OF ORIGINAL STATEMENTS

I hereby reaffirm the statements made in my original notice:

• I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted materials
  is not authorized by me as the copyright owner, my agent, or the law.

• I am the copyright owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly
