The lumen link that The Hun posted, allows you to request the specific URLs that were reported. It's clear they either didn't verify/vet/confirm, or they don't care to. They just sprayed and prayed, using a common term (matching the model's performer name), and issued notices regardless of what resulted from that search.

That's why you can see

...which include Target.com, PlayStation, and Audible. You have to be pretty ignorant, reckless, or apathetic to the potential liability into which you are placing your clients, to issue notices like that.

In their response posted by a GFY member, they essential said, "sorry, and also you're going to get more because we can't control our automated system," (in so many words).

It's tantamount to blaming the dog, when you fart. "Sorry, the automated system, which we created, own, and operate? Yeah, it's that system's fault."

Their approach seems to be, "you're guilty until you prove your innocence via counter notice," which shows a complete disregard of the industry, the work they do, the time and money they put into their own content and posting of that content. If you're BIS, your approach seems to be "we don't care - we issue the notices, invalid as they may be, and you deal with the fallout. As long as we are winning industry awards, the general industry people will believe we are experts. "

The fact these guys don't seem to be humiliated, or change their ways, despite multiple times being called out on industry threads, and privately, tells you all you need to know about them.
Beautiful analysis. I heard they were using machine learning to detect the urls lol but i am sure they use generic name matching and it’s quite a dangerous approach.
