In addition to the remedies available under ordinary law, MOSAIK can support you in the fight against counterfeiting / piracy by requesting the removal of content from distribution platforms such as YouTube, X (ex-Twitter), Dailymotion, Facebook, etc., through the procedure of notification and removal of illegal content, sometimes called LCEN notification (Loi pour la confiance dans l'économie numérique) or " Notice and take down ".
