What we take down

One subscription. Every reupload. One filed notice.

The DMCA workflow Red Points charges enterprises tens of thousands for, priced for the creator who actually owns the work.

Etsy takedowns

We file directly through the Etsy IP Reporting Portal with your verified ownership and a §512(c)(3) compliant notice. Average response: 24-72h.

How it works

eBay VeRO + DMCA

We submit DMCA notices to copyright@ebay.com and trademark NOCIs through the VeRO portal. eBay's strike system removes repeat infringers automatically.

How it works

STL marketplaces

Cults3D, MyMiniFactory, Thingiverse, MakerWorld, Printables. Email and form channels per platform. Your evidence packet ships with every notice.

See coverage

Counter-notice handling

If a seller pushes back, we hold the case for your decision. Sworn responses are never auto-generated. Optional escalation to a real attorney on premium tier.

How it works

Evidence vault

Every original is hashed and timestamped the moment you upload. Independent RFC 3161 trusted timestamp. Court-ready PDF export per case.

How it works

Revenue recovery

On premium, we chase the money on confirmed infringements. Commission-only: 30% of recovered. Undercuts Pixsy (50%) and CopyTrack (45%).

What if the copy was off Etsy tomorrow — without you lifting a finger?

That is the service. We watch, we verify, our team files, you read the weekly report. You get back to modelling.

The loop

Built on a Claude agent. Reviewed by a human.

Four steps. One audited chain of custody. Nothing files itself.

01 · Watch

We continuously monitor seven marketplaces and fingerprint new listings against your originals using perceptual image hashing and feature matching (pHash, ORB, CLIP).

02 · Capture

When a listing crosses the confidence threshold, we screenshot it, compute a SHA-256 digest, and seal it with an RFC 3161 trusted timestamp. Tamper-evident chain of custody.

03 · Draft & review

We draft a §512(c)(3) compliant takedown notice from your verified ownership, jurisdiction and the captured evidence. A specialist on our team screens fair use and signs every notice before it goes out.

04 · File & escalate

Our team files the notice with the marketplace, and escalates to the host and payment processor when a marketplace stalls. Every reply and takedown lands in your weekly report.

Why Cult Shield

A generic takedown service can't tell your model from a Benchy.

Most DMCA services were built for stolen photos and PDFs. A resold STL is a different problem — the thief re-renders it, re-photographs the print, renames it and drops the price. Cult Shield is built for exactly that.

Why creators choose us

Built for one creator. Priced for one creator.

01

Per model, not per URL

DMCA.com charges $199 per URL. One stolen model on 5 marketplaces = $995 there. Here, that's one case at a flat monthly subscription.

02

Human approves every notice

DMCA §512(f) imposes perjury liability on the signer. We will not file a notice without your explicit click. Built for compliance, not bulk-bot reputation.

03

Court-ready evidence vault

SHA-256 digest + RFC 3161 trusted timestamp. Audit log mirrored daily. If a dispute lands, your evidence reads like a court exhibit.

04

EU built, GDPR native

Slovak s.r.o., EU-residency-by-default for your STL files. No US-only privacy gymnastics. EU DSA Article 16 notices on EU marketplaces automatically.

05

Honest commission tier

If a case escalates to revenue recovery, we take 30%. Pixsy takes 50%, CopyTrack 45%. No monthly fee on this tier.

06

Built on Claude

The notice drafter is Claude Opus 4.7. The detection agent is Claude Sonnet. You get the same model class that drafts contracts at top US law firms, applied to your STL pipeline.

Reviews

Honest signal, no fake testimonials.

Early clients are onboarding now. Real reviews will replace these cards.

Founder note

"I built this for myself first. I had 43 stolen STLs in a year and zero takedown spreadsheet. The agent is what I wished existed when I was filing notices by hand on Sundays."
