We protect content creators, survivors, and everyday people from online exploitation. When bad actors steal your content, your identity, or your story — we fight back.
"OMG I just checked and they're gone!!!! Thank you so much fr. I'm so happy."Content creator — images removed in under 24 hours after Panama-based website illegally stole their photos.
The internet moves faster than the law. Bad actors know this — and they exploit it every single day. Stolen content. Deepfakes. Leaked images. Predatory creator contracts.
Digital Dignity exists to close that gap. We combine aggressive legal strategy with a deep understanding of how the internet actually works — because your attorney should know both.
In digital rights cases, speed matters. Every hour content stays up compounds the damage. We act immediately.
Your situation is 100% confidential. We never share details about your case without your explicit written consent.
Copyright and DMCA matters often cross state lines. We assist clients with federal copyright and digital rights issues in our licensed jurisdictions and may handle or coordinate matters in other jurisdictions where permitted by applicable law.
No legalese. No judgment. We understand platform culture, creator economics, and what's actually at stake for you.
From stolen content and AI exploitation to influencer contracts and online defamation — we handle the full spectrum of digital rights law.
Your content is your property. We send DMCA notices, escalate to registrars and hosting providers, and pursue infringers who profit from your work — including overseas websites.
If intimate images of you were posted without consent, you are not in trouble for coming forward. We act fast, protect your privacy, and fight to restore your dignity.
AI-generated content using your likeness without consent is exploitative and actionable. We pursue removal and hold bad actors accountable.
We negotiate, review, and protect your Name, Image, and Likeness agreements — from brand deals to apparel contracts and social sponsorships. Intellectual Property is too important to guard alone (just ask Taylor Swift or The Beatles!).
False statements spread fast. We pursue defamation claims, issue cease and desist letters, and work to remove harmful content from the internet.
When you need a steady voice more than a lawyer. A separate, non-legal service for clients facing media calls, viral moments, or a story breaking — speaking for you, with you, or coordinating with your legal strategy.
Every inquiry is completely confidential. Submitting this form does not create an attorney-client relationship — but it is the first step toward getting the help you deserve.
Fields marked * are required. Everything you share is kept strictly confidential.
Thank you for reaching out. Your inquiry is completely confidential. We will be in touch at the email address you provided.

Jordan Rhone is a Pennsylvania native committed to seeking justice and accountability for those who harm innocent people. As a former prosecutor, he advocated for victims of the worst kinds of crime, including exploited minors and cyber harassment. He worked at a 50,000-student college in the D.C. metro area on student and employee civil rights matters and led comprehensive investigations into violations of federal law. He also helped Google with their new Responsible AI initiative at the 2023 I/O Conference.
A proud two-time Penn State alum, Jordan graduated from the law school with concentrations in Technology Law and Intellectual Property — two practice areas at the heart of Digital Dignity. While in law school, he directed the documentary "How to Kill a Carl," partnering with parents of exploited children to share stories about internet predators. He also understands what is at stake for creators: as a voice actor, Jordan's voice was cloned by a YouTube channel without his consent and was being used to monetize their channel. Jordan acted swiftly and obtained an immediate victory against the channel.
Outside of the law, he remains a passionate advocate, community volunteer, and Pittsburgh sports fan through the good times and the bad. As a Gen Z attorney, he takes pride in utilizing modern technology in his practice and has been interviewed by both national and state media on matters involving the law and artificial intelligence. Committed to pro bono activities, he created online safety curriculum for middle school students and their parents in the Montgomery County, PA public school system. He is an active member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and D.C. Bar.

Interviewed by national and state media on AI and the law.
The turning point came through a case that stayed with me. A content creator reached out scared and ashamed — someone had posted her images on a website based overseas without her consent. She thought she would get in trouble for coming forward.
She was wrong. She owned the copyright to that content. She had every right to fight back — and fight we did. Her images were taken down. Her story, protected.
That case made clear how many people are suffering in silence right now, convinced they have no options. They do. Digital Dignity exists to make sure they know it.

Free consultations. No obligation. Just answers.
We handle the full spectrum of digital rights law — from DMCA takedowns and AI exploitation to influencer agreements and online defamation. Copyright and DMCA matters (federal) handled for clients nationwide where permitted.
Copyright law is federal, meaning your protections are not limited to a single state.
We assist clients with federal copyright and DMCA matters involving content such as photos, videos, written works, and music, which are generally protected upon creation under U.S. law. Our services include preparing and submitting DMCA takedown notices, communicating with hosting providers, registrars, and platforms, and pursuing enforcement options when appropriate, including litigation where we are permitted to do so. We also handle matters involving online infringement that may originate outside the United States, including coordination with appropriate enforcement mechanisms. Services are provided by an attorney licensed in Pennsylvania and District of Columbia, and where matters arise outside those jurisdictions, we may work with or refer to local counsel as required by applicable rules.
Urgent matters — you are not in trouble for coming forward
If intimate images of you were posted without your consent, you have legal recourse — and you are not in trouble for coming forward. We move quickly to remove content from platforms, pursue civil claims against perpetrators, and coordinate with local counsel in your state regarding state-specific statutes. Your privacy is protected throughout every step of this process.
Cutting-edge legal strategy for an emerging crisis
AI-generated content using your face, voice, or likeness without consent is one of the fastest-growing forms of digital exploitation. We pursue right of publicity claims, copyright violations, and emerging AI-specific legal actions. Whether it is a deepfake video, AI voice cloning, or synthetic imagery used commercially — we build the case and fight back.
Contracts, brand deals, creator & likeness protection
The Influencer Protection landscape moves fast and predatory contracts are everywhere. Before you sign anything, let us review it. We negotiate and draft Influencer Protection agreements, sponsorship deals, social media partnerships, and apparel contracts. We also pursue claims when your image or likeness has been used commercially without a valid agreement in place. Your name is your brand — protect it.
A separate, non-legal communications service
This is a non-legal service. Spokesperson and crisis communications work is provided separately from legal representation. Engaging this service alone does not create an attorney-client relationship, and the protections that ordinarily accompany legal representation — including attorney-client privilege — may not apply. Where a client also retains us for legal services in our licensed jurisdictions, we coordinate communications strategy with that representation.
When a story is breaking, when reporters are calling, or when a viral moment is shaping how the public sees you, what gets said in the first news cycle often determines the rest of the story. This service provides a steady, designated voice to speak for you or with you — keeping the narrative consistent, protecting your family and team from direct pressure, and giving media a single point of contact.
Not sure which category fits? Just tell us what happened — we will figure it out together.
Knowledge is the first step. These guides explain your legal rights in plain language — no legalese, no judgment. If you need legal help after reading, we are one form away.
If someone posted your photos, videos, or content without permission, here is what to do right now.
Screenshot everything. Document the URL, content, and date before it disappears.
Do not contact the person directly. This can complicate your legal options.
You own the copyright. If you created it, it belongs to you regardless of where it was originally posted.
A DMCA takedown can force removal. Platforms and hosts are legally required to act on valid DMCA notices.
Contact us. We will assess your situation and offer guidance for federal issues.
This is a serious legal violation — and you are not in trouble for reporting it.
You did nothing wrong. Coming forward is the right move regardless of how the images were originally created.
Document before reporting. Save the URL and screenshots securely.
Most states have specific laws. In addition to copyright law, many states criminalize non-consensual image sharing.
Platforms have removal processes. We know how to escalate when standard processes fail.
We can still help even if time has passed. Reach out regardless of when it happened.
Influencer agreements are real contracts with real consequences. Here is what every Influencer should know.
Never sign on the spot. Any legitimate brand will give you time to have an attorney review it.
Check exclusivity clauses. Some deals prevent you from working with other brands for months or years.
Understand your likeness rights. How long can they use your image? In what contexts? Get it in writing.
Check NCAA and school compliance. Some deals can affect eligibility if not structured correctly.
You have negotiating power. Your name has value. Let us help you get what you deserve.
Deepfakes, AI voice cloning, and synthetic imagery are rapidly evolving legal issues. Here is where the law stands.
Your likeness has legal value. Right of publicity laws protect your identity from unauthorized commercial use.
Document everything immediately. AI content can be deleted quickly once a creator is notified.
Platform policies are evolving. Most major platforms now have explicit deepfake removal policies — we know how to invoke them.
New legislation is passing quickly. State and federal AI laws are expanding your rights right now.
Early action matters. Do not wait — contact us to understand your options.
If someone is threatening to share intimate images of you — or of your child — unless you pay or send more, you are the victim of a crime. The same playbook protects adults and minors alike.
You are not alone, and this is not your fault. Sextortion is one of the fastest-growing online crimes. If you or your child is in crisis, please reach out to a trusted person or call or text 988 for support before anything else.
Do not pay and do not send anything more. Payment almost never ends the threats — it confirms the target will respond. Stop responding to the offender.
Preserve everything before you block. Screenshot messages, usernames, profile URLs, payment requests, and any images sent to you. Save these somewhere private — they are evidence.
Report to the right places. Adults: FBI at ic3.gov. Minors: NCMEC CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org. To stop the spread of known images of someone under 18, use NCMEC's free Take It Down service; adults can use StopNCII.org.
Contact us for civil remedies. Beyond criminal reporting, you may have copyright, non-consensual intimate image, and other civil claims. We move quickly, we move quietly, and we do not judge.
Sometimes you need a voice more than a lawyer. A separate, non-legal service for people facing a public moment — media calls, viral exposure, a story breaking — who need someone steady to speak for them or with them.
This is a non-legal communications service. Spokesperson and crisis communication work is provided separately from legal representation. Engaging this service alone does not create an attorney-client relationship or its protections.
The first hours matter most. What gets said — and what does not — in the first news cycle often shapes the entire story. We help you decide whether to respond, when, and how.
One voice, one message. A designated spokesperson keeps the narrative consistent, takes pressure off you and your family, and gives reporters a single point of contact.
Prepared for what comes next. Statements are drafted with follow-ups in mind — anticipating likely questions, hostile angles, and what reporters will ask next so you are never caught flat-footed.
Tell us what you are facing. Reach out to discuss whether this service fits your situation.
Important: These guides are for general informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. Every situation is different and outcomes vary based on specific facts, jurisdiction, and applicable law. Reading these resources does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you need legal assistance, please and we will review your specific situation.
Tell us what happened. Every submission is completely confidential, carries no obligation, and is the first step toward getting your story back in your own hands.
Whether your situation is urgent or you are just exploring your options — reach out. We do not judge, we do not lecture, and we will not make you feel embarrassed for what happened to you. That is not the job. The job is getting you answers.

Digital Dignity ("Digital Dignity," "the Firm," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use and protect it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. Because we work with content creators, students, survivors, and others who often come to us during the most vulnerable moments of their lives, we take the confidentiality and security of your information seriously.
Please read this first. Submitting an intake form or otherwise contacting us through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not make you a client of the Firm. Until we have confirmed in writing that we are able to represent you and an engagement has been established, please do not send information you consider privileged, highly confidential, or that could create a conflict of interest. Share only what is necessary for us to evaluate whether we can help.
Digital Dignity is a law practice focused on digital rights, copyright and DMCA enforcement, content-creator protection, non-consensual intimate image removal, online defamation, and related matters. Our attorney is licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. This website is operated by the Firm. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our handling of your information, you can reach us at digitaldignitylaw@gmail.com.
We collect only the information needed to respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether we may be able to assist you.
Information you provide directly. When you complete an intake or contact form on this website, we collect the information you choose to enter, which may include your first and last name, email address, telephone number, state of residence, the general category of your matter, how urgent your situation is, and a free-text description of what happened. The description field is optional in scope — you control how much detail you provide, and we encourage you to share only what is necessary at the inquiry stage.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting and form infrastructure may automatically log limited technical information when you visit or submit a form, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, and the date and time of your request. This information is used for security, spam prevention, and basic operational purposes.
What we do not collect. This website does not use advertising trackers, third-party marketing pixels, behavioral analytics, or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not build advertising profiles, and we do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone, for any purpose.
We use the information you provide to: respond to your inquiry; evaluate whether the Firm may be able to represent you; communicate with you about your potential or actual matter; check for potential conflicts of interest; maintain the security and integrity of this website; and comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional-responsibility obligations as a law practice. We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not use it for any purpose unrelated to providing or evaluating legal services unless you have given us permission or the law requires it.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in the limited circumstances described below.
Service providers. This website is hosted on Netlify, and form submissions are transmitted to and stored within Netlify's infrastructure so that we can receive and review them. We may also use a notification service to alert us when a new submission arrives. These providers process information on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of these providers, as their processing is also governed by their own policies.
Co-counsel and referral counsel. Some matters may be handled with, or referred to, attorneys licensed in the applicable jurisdiction as co-counsel or referral counsel. Where that occurs, information necessary to evaluate or handle the matter may be shared consistent with applicable rules of professional conduct and confidentiality obligations.
Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or legal process, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others, or to comply with our legal and ethical obligations.
As a law practice, we are bound by the rules of professional conduct governing attorney confidentiality, including duties owed to prospective clients. Information submitted through this website is treated with care consistent with those obligations. However, until an attorney-client relationship is formally established, communications submitted through this website may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege to the same extent as communications with an established client. This is why we ask you not to send privileged or highly sensitive details before we have confirmed we can represent you.
Information submitted through this website is transmitted over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and stored within our hosting provider's systems. We limit access to submitted information to those who need it to evaluate or handle your inquiry. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security; however, we take reasonable measures designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
We retain inquiry information for as long as reasonably necessary to evaluate your matter, to provide legal services if an engagement is established, and to comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional-responsibility obligations. Where we do not enter into an engagement, we retain only what is reasonably necessary for conflict-checking and recordkeeping consistent with applicable professional rules, and we dispose of unneeded information in a secure manner. You may request deletion of your information as described below, subject to our obligation to retain certain records.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access to the information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, to request deletion, and to ask us not to sell your information (we do not sell personal information). To exercise any of these rights, contact us at digitaldignitylaw@gmail.com. We will respond consistent with applicable law. Please note that certain information may need to be retained for legal, regulatory, conflict-checking, or professional-responsibility reasons even after a deletion request.

We recognize, however, that some of the matters we handle — including the removal of non-consensual or exploitative imagery — may involve minors who are themselves victims.
