There is a difference between screening for unlawful content and screening for copyright infringing content.

If Mindgeek view every video on their array of tube sites to filter out illegal content that doesn't mean that they have to form a view as to whether the content breaches someone's copyright.

The way the DMCA works is that rights holders need to issue a takedown notice, the site has safe harbour if it follows the DMCA to the letter, which I believe Mindgeek does.

So nice try, but no cigar.
I know that Mindgeek bought and paid for you, they tried to buy me too, apparently I have a much higher price for my integrity...The beauty of that email was that it included names, titles and directives from upper management, stuff that will come out in the depositions if Mindgeek lets it go that far. Hush attorneys are very happy and the employee who wrote it is co-operating. Another poinjt NDA or not JFK they arent protected you cant contract to conspire to commit an illegal act then hide behind and NDA that won't fly.
