It?s because they are making money from scared producers. It?s really simple and a brilliant business idea.

You have a situation that is UNSTOPPABLE. It?s called piracy. Anyone with half a brain will realise this will never, ever stop. Logistically and legally you cannot stop it. This has been proven by the RIAA and MPAA in America who have A LOT more money that the porn industry to try and stop piracy. They have failed, massively.

You also have a lot of VERY PISSED OFF producers who think they are losing out on sales because of piracy. They think that everyone that downloads a torrent of their stuff was a potential customer. This is wrong, but let?s not go there for now.

So, you have people pissed off their stuff is being nicked. And you know you will never stop this stuff being nicked. So, you set up a business where you charge these pissed off and desperate people 500 bucks a month to google search some torrents sites and prepare a DCMA notice for the pissed of producers. You tell them the stolen content they were pissed off about has been taken off 5 sites.

The producers feel better because 2% of places you could find their stolen content no longer host the content. (Of course, the sites are still up and still showing OTHER people?s content, but who cares about that, right?

Genius.

It appears Remove your Content makes around 500 bucks a month from these people, every month, for doing a couple of hours of work (it really is very very simple to use a search engine to find torrents. Then you look on Usenet, add in some private forums you have lied your way into, job done). And the best bit? You can still find the producers? content all over the web.

It?s the best business model I have heard of.

Producers are not stopping lost sales, they are just making RYC richer.

Producers ? just pay me 500 bucks a month to do some positive marketing efforts. Actually make a difference and DO SOMETHING instead of moaning on forums and paying money to businesses that actually provide you a measurable service.

If anyone reading this pays RYC or similar please can you explain how you measure the success of your investment with them?
