I love that you are helping creators to defend the value of their work! have you considered investigating partnering with legal startups such as legalzoom, legalist, or someone else to help time strapped creators send the nastygrams as well?

We haven't considered that properly, I think chasing up copyright infringement is a difficult one, especially for Instagram reposts where the payout will most likely be so low.

Having said that, in the US, the CASE act, which will introduce a small claims court for exactly this kind of use case (excuse the pun) made it through the House of Representatives yesterday. So it's an interesting option for sure!
