Copycats are everywhere. Makers watch their products stolen, costing them dearly and jeopardizing their livelihoods. That is why we created Stop Copycats. You just upload the copycat, and we enforce global law to force providers to shut it down immediately.

A few days ago, a tweet went viral: A maker was feeling bad after discovering 2 of his products were had been copied. Check out the screenshots from the Product Hunt launch; it was disheartening. These copycats jeopardize the livelihoods of entrepreneurs, especially smaller ones. So we decided to create this product which is quite simple but works incredibly well. After using it, now the copycat is gone. We use DMCA takedown notices to compel providers to remove the copies. We automated the process of contacting them, and they are legally obliged to comply. We hope this product can help some makers. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the craft!

Product Hunt

Ofc, I'm not a fan of copycats and generally following someone else's execution 1:1 without original thinking is a poor strategy. But is replicating a site's copy or general layout (without direct references or use of trademarked words) against DMCA rules?

@rrhoover thanks for commenting! The focus is on the product itself. Some individuals purchase a downloadable product and then resell it. If your landing page is super similar to theirs, it is not an issue unless you have used their images.

This is really cool but what stops a copycat from reporting the original? Or anyone reporting any site just to be a troll? @jacinto_fleta :) Great work :)

💡 Bright idea

Your first page after user registration (looks like a pricing page) should list exactly what it is you are going to do for the $$, or you're not going to make as many sales. I would fix this today, the day of your launch.

@rowemore this was the best feedback we received today. After reading your comment we changed when we ask for money, so the user can first enter the platform, se how it works, and then to publish a copycat report then we ask for money.
