As I have said " dodgy sources". :2 cents:

They don't check for affiliate link or even care. All just get paid for number of dmca's so send them based on search results. :Oh crap

It turns out that yes, the wave is still going on here, yesterday again a few, and always for the same domain :mad:

But i have a standard defence text, just change the userename, fill in the defence form on Google, past the text in it, and that's it. 3 minutes work and always positive response from Google :pimp

thank you

usually it's not the performers on cam sites or OF sending these warrantless DMCAs


for example (I know you get it Emma), a cammer on cb or wherever or a porn performer opens an OF

they hire one of the several previously discussed shady DMCA co's, paying them to protect his/her content from pirates

these shady DMCA co's (there are a few good ones, sadly not the norm) use bots to search the net for any mention of the performer's name. completely absent context

two things happen as a result:

1) legit affs of porn/cam sites using legit affiliate images/film snippets (porn) or embeds of cam site chatrooms (camming) get warrantless DMCAs

2) the shady DMCA co's then turn to the performer that hired them and says "wow, look how much we found. pay us more for a higher scanning package so we can find even more than your current URL limit!"


pisses me off cuz it robs from performers, gives us a bad name and fucks with the income of legit affs using legit promo tools. I'm on both sides in terms of adult-oriented work so no foot in one camp


I hate piracy, I've been subject to it myself on the performer side of adult. never been served a DMCA as an aff...yet

some of these companies are total parasites. the performers are not to blame, these bullshit companies are

thanks Emma for bringing that up


if you were using legit sponsor material then counterclaim, even if you drop the program

DMCAs can potentially harm your rankings in goog

yeah it's a PITA but worth countering for that alone

Anybody has experience aka complaints about these fuckers?

Mind sharing it?

What company or person is behind BubbliX?

I've been getting reports every day for a week now about all the new Nubiles content coming in via feed and claiming to be from Onlyfans.

Reporter: BubbliX
Country: Austria

No data is listed, nor does it seem like there is any company by that name.

well known for this with legit affs. there's a long azz list of companies that pull this crap and they're on it

(and also reread my post above and I meant 'unwarranted', not 'warrantless')

apparently with some of these shit co's, you can contact them and they'll 'whitelist you'

that's an incredible wtf kinda thing but if you're getting a lot from the same company, it may work to stop it going forward

Just replace the 4 words that i made caps and you are done.
DOMAIN, MODELNAME 2x and YOUR NAME (first and last name):

Dear Google,

My site DOMAIN.com is a site that only use the API from Chaturbate to promote the live model feeds from the main Chaturbate site. There are no other pictures or banners with content of this model (MODELNAME) or other models illegal taken on my site and have never been there before.

Since all models on Chaturbate have to agree with the TOS of Chaturbate, all the models have no right to claim a DMCA notice if the site only shows the live feed from the Chaturbate API, that also counts for complainer MODELNAME.

So I hereby ask you to declare this complaint unfounded and not to remove my site or this url from Google.

Kind regards,
YOUR NAME

What happens if you DMCA a DMCA website index?

Perfect. Thanks.

This assumes some retard at Google has read it and has the power to do something about it.

Big G has more important things to think about now that it is illegally a monopoly.

But I hope it works for you. :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

When i get this back from Google every time it just works fine, has nothing to do with a "retard":

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out to us.
Pursuant to a notice we have received, we have already reinstated the following URLs:
https://redacted, none of your business
Regards,
The Google Team

Same, even though I always use the details field to attack and curse at the dmca sender :1orglaugh

alexa made it easy.... they answer

Good idea, when the wave is going on here maybe i am going to "say" more about all the false complaints :321GFY

No, but the website looks good, maybe I hire them and then let you know :thumbsup

I'm reposting this from the Chaturbate thread:

The DMCA situation is out of control. I'm receiving 2 to 6 complaints per day from a collection of seemingly fake companies.

I've figured out which real company they appear to be associated with: Rulta (https://www.rulta.com/)

I compared the language and style of writing used in the complaints from the fake DMCA services with a complaint from Rulta, and they definitely match.

Does anyone have any idea as to why Rulta would choose to make use of fake names? Possibly to avoid being penalized by Google for dubious, high-volume text-based/automated complaints? I'm on my 6th DMCA complaint for the day today and the situation is getting ridiculous -- they're all affiliated with Chaturbate performers, but they're not from Chaturbate itself.

In looking things over, I think I might be wrong. They're causing confusion by using names like "Rulta Sentinel" and "Rulta Sentinel Pro" -- the whole thing is bizarre.

Yes its them. They keep creating shell companies to send automated DMCAs on behalf of their clients. I'm not sure why, but my guess is it's so they can avoid getting banned for abusing the DMCA process.

That was my exact theory as well.

This is really bad... I'm literally receiving around 10 per day now and they're targeting some URLs multiple times. It's a forum and SEO is a major channel for traffic.

Anyone have contacts for Infringement Blocker and DMCA Watch Pro

They are sending out false DMCA notices for chaturbate models.... on a page that strictly uses a streamate API that was given permission to use.

I'm seeing the same thing and the DMCA notices generally reference Chaturbate models who have never even been mentioned,so it is not even a bad scraper. Not sure if they are trying to attack Chaturbate or what, but it is annoying.

Those companies are fake and I've been hit with them too. They don't exist and it's unclear who they're affiliated with, as outlined below.

Initially, NoWhErE and I thought Rulta might be sending out complaints under a bunch of different names. I've done a search here: https://lumendatabase.org/notices/se...rbate&sort_by=

The results contain a bunch of names that are derivative or related to Rulta, but I think they're simply hijacking the name. We have "Rulta Watch", "Rulta Sentinel", "Rulta Sentinel Pro", "Rulta Infringement Sentinel", "Rulta Blocker Guard" and "Rulta OU Cooperative Services".

I genuinely thought "Rulta OU Cooperative Services" might have been Rulta, but it doesn't appear to be. This is the description they used within their complaint.

"Rulta OU Cooperative Services have discovered the fact of illegal distribution of our client copyrighted content owned by ksensual/chaturbate, a user on Chaturbate.com webcam platform. This content was captured without authorization from https://chaturbate.com/ksensual/chaturbate. Rulta OU Cooperative Services have a good faith belief that the use of the ksensual/chaturbate copyrighted material described above is not authorized by ksensual/chaturbate, the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. The information provided in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, Rulta OU Cooperative Services declare that ksensual/chaturbate am the copyright owner, Rulta OU Cooperative Services authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Rulta OU Cooperative Services request that you remove or disable access to the infringing material as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, here's a real complaint from Rulta OU: https://lumendatabase.org/notices/35976287

Description: "Adult content created on onlyfans.com"

Here's Rulta OU's massive collection of takedowns: https://transparencyreport.google.co...request_by_org

My purpose in going over all of this is to establish that, in my opinion, Rulta isn't behind these bogus takedowns. It's someone else. The different names that are being cited all belong to the same person or organization, as the descriptions are nearly identical, however it's unclear who is actually behind these.

I'm experiencing something similar, except in my case, the pages they're scooping up contain the performer's name. It's just text though and it's clearly automated.

Wasnt there some group in adult that was going to take on false DMCA companies and shut this all down for everyone ??

Whatever happened to that ?

Again, until a group of affiliates and producers get together and co-fund litigation against some of supposed copyright holders, this will not stop. There's no financial interest for it to stop.

These companies sell their BS services to models/creators and they are making hundreds to thousands from each one every month. They know they don't have any liability under the law so its almost pure profit for them and no downside.

I don't think those who created that group (and those who subsequently joined) intended for it to be a solution for an aff with a cam site API on their site

they are site owners tired of getting DMCA'ed for their own content on their own sites, plus legit material used by their affs

been quiet about it ever since so hopefully successful?

I wrote about that here in a thread posted by someone also dealing with false DMCAs as an aff

the link is https://avn.com/business/articles/te...es-920542.html


like you wrote, they make bank off performers, providing little to no value in exchange. there's a reason these dmca co's prey on camgirls. esp cb which tends to skew young and inexperienced with adult

this problem is NOT caused by cb cammers. or OF creators. many of these performers are ripe for the picking, extracting their dollaz to fuck over legit affs

hell, xbiz gave an award to BrandItScan who did makeovers at an event to gain clients. aka DMCA Piracy Protection, a profligate source of false DMCAs

everyone gets fucked (not in the fun way) as they make money. what a way to live

I guess I am one of the " Supposed copyright holders." I have hired DMCA service about 4 months ago, they issued over 1200 DMCA notices with about 99 % pirates complied and the 1% or so ( mostly Albanian, Ukrainian Russian based sites) which ignored the notices.

The point I am trying to make is that we ( or my DMCA agent) did NOT receive a SINGLE counterclaim ! Why not ??? Since most here " cry" how unfair DMCA services are... Somebody should educate me.

Because you are in a completely different business altogether. You make movies for one, and two, they are tasteful and there is no chance of anyone else being able to claim ownership over them. Any type of misuse of your copyrighted content will be infringing, and no websites are likely to have mentions of them, at least not legally. So, most, if not all of your takedown notices will be legitimate.

People complaining in this thread are complaining about illegal organizations sending fraudulent DMCA notices where there is no infringing content, period.

SImply put; they are removing pages from SERP's based on a random keyword alone, and not much else. For example, there might be a cam girl named "Pornhub" (there actually was one, on MFC) and these organizations will DMCA any mention of the said keyword from a site, whether it's a legal page or not. They are not checked by a human... this is what everyone is complaining about. No one is defending thievery.

Rulta is behind bogus takedowns, I don't know if they are the ones you are referring to, but Rulta also sends massive amounts of false reports.

And their Turkish owners are idiots. And they know well what they do.

In another thread from a year ago, someone posted screenshots of DMCA Privacy Prevention and other such companies sending takedowns to Amazon and NASA for the keyword Rabbit Hole which was a model's nickname.

What I mean is that this is your personal experience based on specific content. It may also be that if there is a counter notification, the DMCA company will not inform you. In my experience, 99% of these companies do not even answer or read any emails.

Do you have an affiliate program so that there is a counter notification by someone who uses the content legitimately? Is it worth it to submit a counter notification if the legitimately used content has no traffic or does not rank?

It's actually a perfect end game to late stage capitalism. Vultures circle a dying wagon and that wagon is going "take off my spokes first, fuck the axle".

very poetic. I take it back, you ARE good at math

I don't think it's about late stage capitalism though. everyone is just trying to figure it out. let those with the funds to do it fight it and (hopefully, with a win) the courts will set precedent. if it comes to that

it probs won't, but point is without a lawsuit all peeps can do is express 'this is your notice you WILL be sued if you don't leave us alone'

how could any companies with the means to fight back cover every aff with a site with cam embeds?

but yeah, simply vultures (as you aptly put it) circling in on the 'spokes' via selling bullshit to performers at a high cost

do some of them do some good? of course. but the DMCA industry is becoming a more and more predatory system banking at the expense of performers and affs

don't forget a lot of these co's charge by package. this many URLs for this much a month

it's in their interest to say, 'wow, we found a lot more so upgrade and we'll DMCA them too'

more a biz model of hyena AND vulture (no disrespect to actual hyenas or vultures) embodied in the practices of these anon co's

someone has to do something though, this ish is getting out of control. I think talking more to performers would help

why are the sites (cb looking at you, you too OF) not educating performers about things to look for in choosing a DMCA co?

it's really not trig :upsidedow :winkwink:

OK I do get your point, and yes we make 100% of our content.

Speaking of your example I am not sure I am clear. This hypothetical cam girl, makes her own original content, maybe simpler but in principle same as us. All our movies are electronically fingerprinted, she can do the same . No ? and as to SERP? These are overrated. But in any case, she should register a domain and should not call herself Kamala :1orglaugh ( or any other common name and stick to her domain) and problem with SERP will be fixed. No?

Read my post above about cam babes registering a domain and using it, and not use something common as Rabit Hole. I believe if she had a legit domain rabbithole.com she would not have had the issue.

My DCMA service NOT only answers e mails promptly but I can also pick up a phone and phone them and I did ( at least initially) when I was not clear on something.

No we have NO affiliate program, we let our content stand on its own. This avoids problems. Our DMCA service avoids taking down anything of ours if it is watermarked and shorter then 15 minutes. I have noticed recently that few pirates ( living off clicks) got tired of uploading our content ( 90 + min. movies and the content being taken down almost immediately), they started to cut the movies to short clips and watermark them. The irony is that these ( so far only few) pirates are almost our affiliates promoting our content.:2 cents::1orglaugh

She makes her own original content, and yes, she owns the copyright to the said content. Much like yourself, a lot of them register their works as well.

Now, none of those things are an issue here... the issue is the brandability; their names are often generic (for privacy reasons) and they do not wish to have a unique brand due to stalkers, so we find ourselves in situations where you have these companies sending fraudulent notices based on nothing more than a generic keyword...

Is it the cam girl's fault? No, I don't think so... the companies should search for the infringing content manually, and remove the said content.

The cam girl isn't affected, it's website owners like Freeones.com (one of the few honest people in the business) that get the raw end of the deal for no apparent reason.

Same with people like @mechanicvirus and @jscott, they run legit sites and get shit for no reason. They are affiliates, and they use legal promo content, they get these notices due to generic names.

Good post. And +1 on JScott. He runs a tight ship

Thank you, this is the perfect response and I want to reiterate that many good affiliates are being caught up in mass DMCA sweeps that are not only killing their ranks, but also removing hard work and trust that porn brands build up to be promoted.

To your comments:

Wautier

She has a business, then she should behave as a business woman. It is her fault or maybe her naivete. There is NO excuse being lazy, uninformed or cheap to register a domain. I know MANY adult performers who have their on domain.

My service took down about 1500 of our videos in the 5 months we hired them. This after scanning literally millions of websites daily. Doing this manually would be time and financially prohibitive. That is why we have " digital fingerprinting".

Freeones.... not so innocent ( see my post above), also by NO fault of their own they end up in the DMCA loop.

AS I have said above, using unregistered and generic names is stupid ! Enough said

You are talking about videos, probably you are scanning on model names so that's why my only cam aggregator sites get DMCA notices.

We keep getting this bullshit.
They use company names like:

ContentCitadel
DMCA Protector Plus
IPProtectorElite
IPBastionPro
LegalFort
DMCAKeeperAdvanced
Copyright Enforcer Plus
IPGuardianElite
Copyright Monitor Elite
DMCA Guard Plus have ide
Content Sentinel Elite
PiracySecurityAdvanced
DMCA Defender Elite

Obviously they are using an automated process and using fake company names. Google is pretty fucked up when it comes to reporting this sort of thing.
