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
