How It Works
Our Takedown Process
Every engagement follows a structured, legally defensible four-step process — ensuring no action is taken without evidence, validation, and appropriate authority.
Detection & Evidence Collection
Continuous monitoring of domains, social media, search results, and marketplaces OSINT-based threat identification using open web and deep web sources Evidence preservation with timestamped screenshots, metadata, and IP records Ownership and copyright validation before any action is initiated
Legal Validation & Notice Preparation
Assess infringement under Copyright Act 1957, Trademarks Act 1999, and IT Act 2000 Verify that no fair use or criticism exception applies (Sec. 52, Copyright Act) Prepare legally grounded takedown notices with full ownership documentation Identify correct escalation channel: hosting, registrar, platform, or regulator
Takedown Execution
Submit notices to hosting providers, domain registrars, CDN operators, and platforms Engage IT Rules 2021 grievance mechanisms for 36-hour platform response Coordinate with Google and Bing for search engine de-indexing Escalate to CERT-In or law enforcement for phishing and fraud infrastructure
Reporting, Monitoring & Escalation
Deliver proof-of-removal documentation and audit-ready reports Track repeat offenders for pattern-based enforcement Escalate to court injunction (Sec. 55, Copyright Act) when platforms fail to act Ongoing monitoring to detect re-uploads or domain re-registration
Takedown Layers — Where We Strike
Six Layers of Digital Enforcement
Unlike generic report tools, Nexarcane identifies and targets the correct technical and legal layer for each threat — maximising takedown speed and permanence.
Hosting Provider — Where the site physically lives
★ Most Powerful Takedown PointThe company storing the website files and running the server. A successful hosting takedown takes the site completely offline. We identify the hosting provider even when hidden behind CDNs through IP resolution and infrastructure analysis.
Examples: AWS · Google Cloud · Azure · DigitalOcean · Hostinger · GoDaddy
Domain Registrar
Strong Secondary Vector
The company that registered the domain. A suspended domain renders the site unreachable by name even if hosting remains active. We file abuse reports directly with registrars, with UDRP escalation available for trademark cases.
Examples: GoDaddy · Namecheap · BigRock · Dynadot
CDN / Proxy Layer
Used to Expose Real IP
Services like Cloudflare hide the actual server. While CDNs may not remove content, disabling protection exposes the real hosting IP — enabling a direct hosting-layer takedown. We also file abuse reports with CDN providers for phishing content.
Examples: Cloudflare · Akamai · Fastly · Amazon CloudFront
Email Provider
Stops Ongoing Campaigns
The service used to send fraudulent emails. Reporting and blocking the sender account halts active phishing campaigns, CEO fraud attempts, and fake invoice operations. We file abuse reports with full technical evidence.
Examples: Gmail · Outlook · Zoho Mail · ProtonMail
Social Media & Platforms
Fastest Takedown Channel
Where infringing content or fake accounts are actively visible to the public. Platforms offer the fastest takedown when reported through the correct channels. Nexarcane uses established escalation paths with policy teams at major platforms.
Examples: Instagram · Facebook · X · LinkedIn · YouTube · Google Play
Search Engines
Eliminates Traffic to Threats
Search engines do not host content — they surface it. Even after content is removed, search indexing can continue driving traffic. We file Google/Bing de-indexing requests (DMCA and legal court orders) to eliminate discoverability of removed content.
Examples: Google · Bing · Yahoo
Legal Framework
Legally-Backed Enforcement
Under Indian Law
Nexarcane's takedown operations are grounded in a multi-law framework. We combine Copyright, Trademark, and IT Act mechanisms to provide enforceable, defensible, and court-admissible enforcement.
Copyright Act, 1957 — Sections 14, 51, 55, 63
Primary basis for website content, code, images, videos, and creative takedowns. Sec. 51 defines infringement; Sec. 55 enables civil remedies including injunctions; Sec. 63 provides criminal liability leverage in legal notices.
IT Act, 2000 — Section 79
Intermediary Safe Harbor: platforms are NOT liable if they remove content after notice — meaning they MUST act on valid notices or lose legal protection. This is the core mechanism that makes platform takedowns work.
IT Rules, 2021 — Intermediary Guidelines
Platforms must remove infringing content within 36 hours of notice, provide a grievance officer, and act on legally-grounded complaints. Failure to comply removes their intermediary protection under Sec. 79.
Trademarks Act, 1999
Used for brand name and logo misuse, fake websites impersonating registered trademarks, and typosquatting domains. Enables UDRP domain disputes and legal notices against registrars.
IPC + IT Act — Sections 66, 66C, 66D
Applied for impersonation, identity fraud, phishing, and online scams. Supports police complaints, CERT-In escalation, and cyber crime portal filings for criminal enforcement.
Key Principle: Copyright Act alone is insufficient for most brand protection scenarios. Nexarcane always applies the appropriate combination of Copyright + Trademark + IT Act to ensure full legal coverage and enforceability.
