What happens after Snily finds a leak?

Finding a leaked photo or video is just the first step. Snily will be sending complaints soon, but there is some checking to do.

Snily opens a case first. It gathers the website's domain, mirror sites, the URLs where the content was found and screenshots of the found content.

Then a specialist will take a look. They look at the match and if they find sufficient reason, they file the first complaint.

If the case is confirmed, Snily will contact the people behind the website. This includes the owner of the site, the hosting provider and the domain registrar. DNS contacts may also be involved as necessary.

Snily also requests Google to de-index the affected URL from its search results.

What if no one responds?

If Snily doesn't hear back in 48 hours, he files a formal DMCA notice.

The case doesn't just go away after that. Snily keeps track of the requests and any responses, so there's a record of what's going on and what's been done.
