As a very first step we are advising to contact the infringer if he or she can be identified and you have the ability to reach out to them. It might be the most efficient way to tackle the problem, as some people do not feel well about their wrongdoing or do not want to have any trouble. This option is especially effective if the platform or domain is well-known and they to do not want to lose their reputation or have trouble with admins.
The recommended message for contacting the infringer directly (could be less formal and different, but we are advising to use similar structure and logic):
