To give you some context, all the content was from a British couple specialized in deep throat.

In a week or two the all the content received several take down requests on every single big tube.
After a large email exchange with Xvideos and Spankbang (PH and XH didn't reply) it came out that most of the times (if not all the times) the take-down notices were due to some kind of feminists group who was reporting almost all this promo content as sexual abuse videos.
Now, assuming that even a mentally disabled blind person would not think to an abuse or a revenge porn video while watching videos that have a logo reveal intro, a multi camera editing and a watermark driving to a pay site with the full version of the same content, it took me more than two weeks and a shitload of scanned papers to get the content back in place.
So let me give you a couple advices.
1) An advice for blackchariotnetwork: get ready for a fight against the big tubes. They fear feminists much more than they fear lawyers and cops.
2) An advice for all the people working in the industry: get ready for a fight against feminists and woke people. These subjects, who in a civilized country should be locked up in mental hospitals, are acquiring more and more power every day.
How did the industry end up in a shitty situation like this?

On the flip side, maybe Xvideos, Spankbang, etc., are just fulfilling their legal obligations to keep their DMCA safe harbour status?
Once a DMCA claim is filed, the platform (in this case, the tube site) can only forward information between both parties without getting involved. They might lose their safe harbour status if they set a precedent by getting involved.
That being said, trust me, I sympathize so much with having to deal with fake DMCA claims. It's annoying and is constantly abused by shitty people. The entire system needs a massive overhaul.
