A Practical, Court-Aligned Strategy to Identify, Target, and Recover Revenue from Infringement.

Recent Supreme Court guidance has narrowed the path for claims against internet service providers. The takeaway for rights holders is straightforward: enforcement must be directed at the parties who create, profit from, or induce infringement—not the underlying infrastructure.

Vondran Legal® represents creators, studios, and digital brands in structured enforcement and recovery programs designed for today's legal landscape.

What Has Changed—and What Has Not

Narrower ISP liability. Knowledge alone is not enough to establish secondary liability for access providers.
Stronger focus on direct and commercial infringers. Claims remain viable—and often stronger—against parties who use, monetize, or encourage unauthorized use of protected works.
Continued availability of DMCA tools and federal remedies. Takedowns, statutory damages, and injunctions remain central.

Bottom line: Enforcement still works. It just needs to be properly targeted and systematically executed.

Our Approach

We do not treat infringement as a one-off problem. We build repeatable enforcement systems that identify liability, preserve evidence, and pursue recovery where it is legally and economically justified.

1) Infringement Audit & Monetization Plan

A focused review of your catalog to determine:

Where your works are being used without authorization
Which uses present commercial or monetized exposure
The most efficient path: takedown, licensing, settlement, or litigation

You receive a written plan outlining targets, risks, and expected recovery pathways.

2) Enforcement Campaign Setup

We establish the infrastructure needed to enforce your rights at scale:

Copyright registration (as needed for federal claims)
Evidence capture and preservation protocols
DMCA notice and repeat-use tracking systems
Cease-and-desist and settlement frameworks
Target prioritization (platforms, businesses, repeat users)

This is designed to move beyond isolated disputes and into consistent, defensible enforcement.

3) Revenue Recovery & Litigation Program

Hybrid and contingency structures available (case-dependent)

Where infringement supports it, we pursue recovery through:

Settlement negotiations with monetized users and businesses
Claims involving platform-based or inducement conduct
Federal litigation where appropriate

Engagement structure is tailored to the portfolio and expected recovery. We are selective and focus on legally sound, economically rational cases.

Who We Represent

Content creators (video, music, photography, digital media)
Online brands and e-commerce companies
Production companies and content libraries
Agencies managing rights on behalf of creators

If your content is being used without authorization—particularly in revenue-generating contexts—you may have viable recovery options.

Where Enforcement Is Most Effective Today

Monetized platforms and channels using protected works without authorization
Commercial users (websites, businesses, advertisers) incorporating copyrighted content
Repeat or organized infringement with evidence of ongoing use
Inducement scenarios where conduct encourages or depends on infringement

We avoid theories that no longer align with current law and focus on defensible claims with practical leverage.

From Attorney Steve Vondran

“For years, rights holders were pushed toward upstream theories that are now significantly constrained. The current environment favors a more disciplined approach—identify the parties who are actually using or profiting from the work, build a clean evidentiary record, and pursue recovery where the law clearly supports it. That is how we structure our cases.”
