Is it normal for dmca hunters to threaten family and friends by phone?
Quote:
I wonder if this is common practice. Are there more people that have had calls to them and their families with threats? |

This depends upon the type of threats. If it is in any form of physical harm, you can go after him.

If I had content stolen, I would harass the SHIT out of the thief and if I had his family's numbers, I'd call them at 4 am.
People think they are being so clever when stealing content.

Is it normal? As in, is it the standard thing is such cases? Probably not
Does it surprise me that it's happening? Not in the least. Some people are psychos who have no problem at all with digging up personal information and using it against you publicly, either to get what they want or in somecases just for kicks. In fact there have been several such assholes on this very board in past years. Probably 1 or 2 here right now. Of course, if the guy has a legitimate beef and content has been stolen, misused, etc, then all bets are off.

Yes.
Btw let me state this clear again, i was in no involved in this case, but noticed a lot of "complaints" about this on other forums. I really wonder if this is how producers/sites want these "dmca hunters" to work. Imagine someone finding out where your kids life, then calling them and threatening them in any way possible. Even if someone stole my content i would probably do a lot, but not this. I would not feel comfortable with someone doing that for me to get content taken down, but maybe i need to harden up then. If someone wants to play it hard, hire a lawyer and attack the ones that are responsible or? |

Don't feel to sorry for thieves that profit from others. If you are making money from stolen property ... fuck you and your family.

Some people may view their property being stolen, as the theif is taking food out of my family's mouth. Why should I give a shit about his family when he's fucking mine. Doesn't make it right, but if you choose to steal other people's shit, don't be surprised if someone goes after you and your family one day

Harrasing, threatening and death threats are bad.
Death threats are the worst speech, by law. Someone could go to jail for saying them.

It's not okay to commit a crime to stop a crime.. You are equally as guilty when you do this. So if someone did steal content, that's bad.. if you harass someone family over it, that's equally as bad and both equally as illegal.
Naa... that couldn't be possible, no way GFY has that many hypocrites.

Perhaps Eric at RYC is having a smear campaign perpetuated against him. I've used them for over a year and never heard of anything like that.
His job is to send a DMCA. What earthly purpose would he have to make "death threats" or any kind of "threat" to anybody for the 99 bucks a month I pay him? He regularly informs me of certain out of country people who will not honor dmca takedowns and advises me to have my attorney go after them. Why would he do that if he were sending out "death threats"? I smell bullshit. |

He told me a year ago that he was being threatened and harrassed by them. Reason being because Eric first sends them a DMCA, then rinses and repeats. And if they tell him to fuck off, he goes to their host and their registrar. And then if for some reason (third world country, etc.) that doesn't work he at least gets the offending links yanked off google. And he has had several of those bad sites pulled down. The bad guys don't appreciate any of that. And about a year ago he icq'ed me and told me he had been threatened physically and has his site routinely ddos'ed by them as well as hackers nailing it overtime. That's why I think this is a product of disinformation on somebodies part trying to discredit him. It doesn't fit Eric's M.O. in any way and doesn't make him one penny more to have done anything like what is suggested. |

They are play in a grey area.
In my state, someone can be charged with telephone misuse. That is classified as constant harassment. I think they'd have a problem in my state. DMCA is a civil issue and they should not be handling it as they are. |

1. I didnt post the name or company of who the quote was referring to. Would be a bit weird for me to get into a smearcampaign without doing that or? 2. There are posts on several forums, all people that have been in this biz for a long time. I wont go into detail what was posted, but maybe you should take a look. But seriously robby, you didnt really think I posted this as a smearcampaign or? |

It's not about blaming their family, it's simply one tactic some people use to leverage the thief to do what's right. It's probably also done to hurt the thief where he lives, since the thief in many cases is hurting the person who owns the intellectual property, content, etc.
It all boils down to this: when you steal and then ignore DMCA's there should be no surprise when other tactics are used. I'll say this much, if someone contacted me and told me about someone in my family thieving from them that family member would certainly hear from me about it. And if it turned out that my family member was clearly in the wrong then they would REALLY hear from me about it. I definitely would not want any more fucking phone calls (probably at 3 in the morning) about his/her fucking thieving ways. Family or not, it shouldn't matter, you either condone thievery or you don't. I don't. Does this mean I agree with the tactics described in this thread? Sure, why not. Why should the victim have to play fair when the thief obviously doesn't?

If someone is in the wrong and stealing content, I don't feel bad for them at all.
But at the same time, I strongly feel family is off limits, always. If someone is stealing from you and you have proof positive, if you want to fight dirty, fight dirty. But harassing family to me is beyond the pale. What's next? Fucking with their kids at the bus stop? |
