What Remove Your Media does

Remove Your Media is a Plano, Texas-based private anti-piracy services firm founded in 2011 that provides turnkey copyright and trademark enforcement for media studios, publishers, OTT providers, and content creators. Its core offering combines four modules — Search Engine Enforcement, Hosting Enforcement, Merchandise Enforcement, and Legal Services — delivered under an umbrella Anti-Piracy Solutions product. The company maintains a catalog of 10,000+ titles and processes 100 million URLs per day, forwarding 500,000+ URLs daily to Cloudflare and operating with a claimed 99%+ compliance rate.

The underlying platform relies on proprietary mass automation that combines AI/boolean parsing, electronic notifications, and targeted distribution to push takedowns at scale. Trusted-reporter integrations with Cloudflare, Google's Trusted Copyright Removal Program (TCRP), and YouTube's Content Verification Program (CVP) provide privileged, expedited removal channels that constitute the firm's principal technical edge. Legal services — copyright subpoenas, UDRPs, cease and desists, Texas Rule 202 depositions, and Copyright Claims Board filings — are provided through in-house US counsel and extend the offering into pre-litigation discovery.

Revenue is generated through ongoing, likely retainer-based engagements with enterprise rights holders, with pricing quoted on a tailor-made basis. The firm is bootstrapped (no disclosed funding), runs with 1–10 employees, and acquires all business via repeat customers, referrals, and word of mouth. CEO Eric Green leads the company.
