How to Submit a DMCA Notice to AWS
If infringing content is hosted directly on AWS infrastructure — an EC2-hosted site, an S3 bucket, and similar — AWS's Trust & Safety team handles copyright complaints, but only through a very specific plain-text email process, not a web form.
🕑 Guide last reviewed: July 2026 — AWS's own process can change; the official link above is always the source of truth.

Step-by-step process
Confirm the content is actually on AWS
Check WHOIS/hosting lookup results for AWS IP ranges or an amazonaws.com subdomain before filing.
Prepare your complete DMCA notice text
Following the required elements under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) — signature, identification of the work, identification of the infringing material, contact info, and the good-faith and accuracy statements.
Email it in plain text
Send to trustandsafety@support.aws.com with everything in the plain-text body — no PDFs, screenshots, or attachments of any kind.
AWS acknowledges and investigates
You'll get an automated acknowledgment, and for complete, valid notices, AWS contacts its customer to remove or disable the infringing content.
