What you get
Everything you need to defend
the open web
Built for publishers, SEO agencies, journalists, and platforms who keep getting punched in the face by automated takedowns.
Intelligence
See every notice ever filed against you
We ingest Lumen Database, Google Transparency Report, the EU DSA Transparency Database, USCO records, and CCB filings — and join them into one canonical timeline per domain or URL.
Defense
Counter-notices, drafted with AI
Statutory §512(g)(3) templates trained on 4,200 expert-reviewed counter-notices. Edit, then submit yourself. Always with a human review gate.
Abuse detection
Catch fraudulent takedowns automatically
Eight built-in detectors flag back-dated articles, mass fake-account filings, reputation-firm patterns, and AI-drafted boilerplate. Alerts fire in under 5 minutes.
Compliance
DSA Article 16 and TAKE IT DOWN ready
Drop-in widget for SMB platforms. Notice-and-action form, audit log, statement-of-reasons auto-publication to the EU DSA Database, 48-hour SLA tracker.
Who it's for
Built for everyone on the receiving end
Counterspine exists for the side of the takedown machine that doesn't have $100K/year for Red Points.
Publishers & journalists
Pain: Bogus DMCA notices buried legitimate stories before you could counter-notice.
Outcome: Catch the abuse pattern in minutes, not months.
SEO agencies
Pain: Negative-SEO via DMCA tanked a client's rankings overnight.
Outcome: Whitelabel dashboard for every client, alerts that wake up the team.
Affiliate & iGaming operators
Pain: Coordinated takedown waves cost weeks of indexed pages and affiliate revenue.
Outcome: Continuous monitoring + AI-drafted counter-notices ready to ship.
Reputation lawyers
Pain: You spend hours reverse-engineering DMCA-as-reputation-management abuse.
Outcome: Sender clustering and pattern detection do the forensic work for you.
Platforms with UGC
Pain: DSA Article 16, TAKE IT DOWN, §512(c) all want compliant notice-and-action.
Outcome: Drop-in widget, audit log, statement-of-reasons publication. Done.
Researchers & policymakers
Pain: Lumen has the data, but no UX. Google Transparency has volume, no analytics.
Outcome: A unified, queryable, alertable, exportable view across all sources.
Data sources
One canonical view of the entire takedown record
We normalize, dedupe, and join data from six public sources into one schema. You query domains, senders, recipients, and patterns — we keep the pipelines running.
CC0 / public-domain data only
No private platform crawling, no PII scraping.
Multi-provider scraping
Cloudflare Worker → BrightData → Oxylabs → DataForSEO failover.

Why Counterspine
The defense-side gap, finally filled
Existing tools serve rights-holders sending takedowns. Nobody serves the people getting hit by them.

No. We are a tool. Counter-notice drafts come from §512(g)(3) statutory templates and are intended for review with a qualified attorney before submission. We never auto-file on your behalf.
Six public sources: Lumen Database (Harvard), Google Transparency Report, the EU DSA Transparency Database, the USCO Designated Agent Directory, the Copyright Claims Board, and federal court records via CourtListener.
Eight built-in detectors: back-dated source articles, mass fake-account filings, reputation-firm patterns, AI-drafted boilerplate, principal/copyright mismatch, frequency anomalies, foreign-jurisdiction laundering, and impersonation of well-known senders. Each notice gets a 0–1 abuse score.
Yes. Our Compliance Widget add-on (€99/mo) is a drop-in JS widget for SMB platforms with a notice-and-action form, audit log, statement-of-reasons auto-publication to the EU DSA Database, and a 48-hour SLA tracker for TAKE IT DOWN compliance.
That is what Red Points, MarkMonitor, and Pixsy already do well. We are unapologetically the defense layer — we serve the people getting hit by takedowns, not the people sending them.
Mean time-to-alert from public ingest to your inbox is under 5 minutes for Lumen and DSA, under 1 hour for Google Transparency (limited by Google's update cadence).
Yes. REST API on Pro and above. MCP server (14 tools, 1:1 with REST) on Pro and above. CLI on every plan.
Our pipelines are independent: DSA Database (daily JSONL dumps) and Google Transparency Report (bulk CSV) are 100% public and require no API key. Lumen is the bonus, not the foundation.
