DMCA has their own badges which you can place in your sites to warn the plagiarists. When you place the DMCA badge on your site it will be scanning and adding the URLs of your sites. It may take up to 48 hours to add all of the links of your site in DMCA database.

- Now go to the Protection Badges Tab to find a badge for your site.
- There are many badges in different colors, sizes and texts. Choose a badge that is suitable for you.
- Copy the code just under the badge and paste it in your sites html. Or if youre using blogger or wordpress, you can just place it as HTML gadget.
