The below instructions are just to do a takedown from google search results, it doesnt remove the actual content but its a lot easier and has a much higher success rate than targetting the website directly. I am only making this post because the DMCA guides I used to link to are no longer available.
Please be responsible and make sure the sites you find on google are actually posting videos/images of your content and not just an information site like mine.
Personally I think the fight against piracy is a never ending waste of time but if you want to participate in that fight then here you go.
I tried to use a link with the questions already answered but if it stops working then go to: https://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905 and pick the following:
1. Select the Google product where the content you are reporting appears: Google Search
2. Which product does your request relate to? Google Search (or google images if thats what you are trying to take down)
3. Does this request relate to content generated by AI within a Google product? No
4. Select the reason you wish to report content: Legal Reasons to Report Content
5. Select the reason you wish to report content: Intellectual Property
6. Select the reason you wish to report content: Copyright: Report unlawful use of copyright-protected work
7. Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf? Yes, I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf
8. What is the allegedly infringing work in question? Image/Video
9. The image/video is of yourself: Yes
Don't use your real name, use your stage name, I don't recommend using your real personal information but whatever email address, physical address and phone number you use you should have a way of receiving communication to (the email being the most important the other 2 not so much). I am uncertain if address and phone number can be obtained by the other party without legal action but best not to risk it.
@AmberCutie I threw this together rather quickly, feel free to edit and add to it if I missed anything.
