What can you do if a host ignores your DMCA notices?
 

im certain i filled them out correctly, and this host i keep sending them to that is hosting my content is not respoding.

what can i do about this or does anyone have any attorney referrals that know what to do here? any help appreciated

Go after their ISP or DNS service.

Takes time though.

not stating that you are cc'ing your lawyer kind of takes the teeth out of them.

^^This^^

True. But most companies will look into it and take action anyway.

I have always prefered to take the social route but contacting them. Showing them and discussing the options. Did that not long ago with a Major hosting company here and it was resolved quick and easy. No DMCA work at all no lawyers talked about. But I think that was an exception.

Glen hit me on ICQ and lest see if its the same people I am chasing around right now for some action.

Is this Oron by any chance?

Do it right: Hire an Intellectual property attorney.

As others said, hire a IP attorney, and go after the host they are legally responsible to respond to them.

What a complete pain in the ass this must be.

Oron responds. :2 cents:

LeRoy is correct. If the host doesn't do anything, go after THEIR hosting provider. You can find out who they are by doing a simple traceroute to the domain with your stolen content.

Good luck.

Which host is that?

is it a host in Gainesville, FLA?

Get legal representation, send the DMCA violations the right way, then sue.

just do it right:

Domain reg is easy to go after.

ddos attack.

tell em you will eat his gfs pussy :)

Or that you already did.

Four times.


Seriously, though, good luck with getting your issue with this host resolved man.

What is the time frame after which a host could get involved?

If you DMCA the site owner, and he complies within a reasonable time (7 days?) then the host has nothing to do with it, doesn't it? How long do you have to wait after DMCA'ing the site owner for him to not remove things before a host should even do anything about the dmca?

Not to me they don't and I send them special DMCA notices using their specified format. Everyone else accepts the generalized format proposed by the DMCA itself.

This looks pretty common nowadays.

Otherwise huge pirate bays or sharing files sites would not be possible.

There is really no way to fight against it.

Look at DUKE from duke skywalker, he had to arrange a deal with them and post a banner, instead of dmca them.

DMCA is a US Law — is the host in the US?

Really?

Are we talking months or years here?
.

deleted in less than 24 hours in most cases bro.

They comply for me when I send to support@... i think

If the host is not inside the US, they can pretty much print your DMCA and use it as toilet paper. If they are in europe, look up EUCD

haha im saving this for future use
