Anybody know DMCA Piracy Prevention Inc?
 

Anybody know who this is, just got a false DMCA notice from them
dmcapiracyprevention.com doesn't have a website, maybe they have one on another domain?

Make sure to submit counterclaims.

Never heard of it.

Just sent him a warning on a false DMCA filed against one of my clients.

I received a very nice apology email within 6 hours and a promise not to bother my client again.

Seems like a reasonable guy.

He is sending reports every day about pornhub embeds.

He is a moron, he sends reports to google, to cloudfare. It acts as a criminal organization.

Have your attorney send a threatening letter...

Or he crapped his pants because you are an actual lawyer :1orglaugh

He's a troll that mass-reports random URLs. Counter every single notification he sends.

Over the past few days DMCA Piracy Prevention Inc has been sending out a lot of invalid DMCA notices. Most relate to performers who have appeared on Chaturbate.

In our case this includes licensed content for stars such as Emily Grey etc.

Has anyone been able to contact whomever is sending these notices?

& Puffy, you know this...

DMCA Piracy Prevention, Inc. was founded by Gino Sciretta, ManyVids' founder.

Their main company is BranditScan, Inc.

They signed ALL of their DMCA notices with a fake name, too.

False DMCA Notice = Perjury
Punishment for Perjury in Canada -> up to 14 years

How? I'm not receiving emails about DMCA from google webmaster for some reason

If you're only getting DMCA's directly from the "supposed" content owner, then it's easiest to just remove the content and forget about it.

The Google submitted DMCA's you want to do counterclaims for.

Yes, I'm receiving nothing on my email, but I checked on lumen and I started to get a lot of url dmca'ed from this network, like 4 pages of lumen notifications in 20 days.
But I didn't received a single email, nor from them through the email on my site nor from lumen.
How do you counter report in this case?

I haven't done DMCA stuff for long time so its not fresh for me, but what is "lumen"?

Hopefully we have more contributors here to help for you :) we all know those DMCA's are shitty! especially the fraudulent ones.

lumen is this site lumendatabase dot org
is the site where every dmca sent to google (and other platform) are recorded.
I can see this company sent to google 4 pages of reports of my site's pages in very short time (20 days) but I didn't receive any DMCA notification through email from Google...
But those pages listed on lumen really got deindexed from Google, I checked using the "site:" operator

I believe you can use the form at https://support.google.com/legal/tro...5655%2C9814950 and click the part about counter notification.

Thank you.
By reading those legal warnings, is it sure this network is not the real owner of the contents?
Maybe it's better to ignore the dmca and just accept them instead of fighting, got a bit scared not gonna lie

If you are stealing the content, then I believe the DMCA notice is proper. If your content usage is legit, what could you have to fear from filing a proper counter?

How did you find the address?

I wonder if it is possible to include the real company name and the fake company name in the replies to Google? Branditscam are such idiots.

Appears to be legit.

Does someone have a contact of DMCA Piracy Prevention Inc? Email or skype?

Here is their new website https://dmcapiracyprevention.com/

That should be required viewing for anybody who's hobby turned into a business.

We use Pornlaw to go after non-paying programs and he is golden. We also use him for DMCA bullshit and he cuts down on that crap and gets us whitelisted everywhere so I get a lot less crap.

I tried a few take down services here, but none worked out. I think I will give these guys a try..:2 cents:

I have my own thread of the same thing

literally couple hundred bogus DMCA's this week


those Trolls dont answer email nor phone calls

We all need to work together

I kid you not, hundred this week


Thanks everyone

Strongly worded?

Legally you have to wait 10 days before you reinstate the content, so 10 days worth of revenues from that content, SEO penalties, delisted content, cost for video encoding, cost for staff doing takedowns etc etc

Why should I have to carry the costs of all of this because some idiot can’t do their due diligence before they file a DMCA notice ?

Nope. Threatening. False DMCA = damages including costs and attorney fees.

This area is ripe for litigation. Like the copyright trolls when they file a lawsuit against unsuspecting down/up loaders and refuse to dismiss without a payment.

Except here you file a lawsuit and each false DMCA notice received are additional damages.

Even if you keep it reasonable - $500 for each false DMCA - damages can escalate quickly.

Otherwise they are forced to hire an attorney and start defending a lawsuit they will probably lose.

Seems like all of their Dmca are automatically send

Those are all totally reasonable reasons to be unhappy about these false DMCA companies.

None of that is a reason to be scared to file a counter. Why are you afraid to do counter-DMCA notices? Losing 10 days is surely better than losing everything, isn't it?

word

there's a thread about DMCAPiracyPrevention over on the dad joke board...I never post there and seldomly read but did pointing out that this entity and BrandItScan have the same address and the same line of biz. surely a total coincidence

the image I posted there was this:

https://i.imgur.com/6Ey3XPm.jpg

and for comparison this is the address of the 'service' at issue in this thread:

https://i.imgur.com/jYYeEp0.jpg

over there Wasteland linked to the two threads here about the issue. interestingly BrandIt which has a thread over there promoting their 'service' hasn't said peep

but seriously though...like we've discussed before @Amelia, what pisses me off is not just that these companies are fucking with those who legit own content featuring a given performer as well as affs using APIs, but that they are stealing from performers/content creators at the same time in what I consider to be a predatory manner (personal opinion). peeps actually paying for this crap in good faith. where is Nikki with her uzi? :upsidedow

some co's are taking advantage of the fact that not everyone on the performer end of the biz actually understands how DMCAs work and assume probably that these sites wouldn't scan legit material for infringement included on a proposed 'takedown' list. that whole 'whitelisting' thing is apparently performed after the damage has been done. sorry, not a way to responsibly operate an enterprise in any way

it's abhorrent. and in the meantime they take in the cash not caring who they hurt on both 'sides'


to those affected DEF DEF always counter-file illegit DMCAs if you can prove you own the content or are just using an API for a cam site. they target not those who have left the biz/wish to erase their adult footprint, but those who are active and don't want their stuff posted by pirates. understandably. for those who do steal, go die in a fire

point is, sites like this take advantage of that. to everyone else's detriment. all cool as long as they get paid I guess?


for legit peeps though, at the very least establish a record of their conduct via counter-notice. make a template, just switch out the URLS for each one. that's what I have for the DMCAs that I have to send every now and then. no way I would ever use a service for something I can do myself with minimal though irritating effort. at least I won't have my clips sites or self-promo hit (that has happened before many times in the past to several peeps I know with another one of these so-called 'services' a few years back)

depending on one's range of biz, peeps might need more than one counter-notice template but that takes a few mins each and after that it's easy

an epic PITA but not a large time investment, non-withstanding the damage caused by legit material being deindexed from google while they 'decide' who's in the right

total predators. stoke conflict between performers and affs/legit site owners, steal from those they are purporting to assist in the battle against real piracy...just ugh

would be really interesting to see what this/these companies would have to say if they didn't go silent when the topic is raised. prob cuz they know many performers (their bread and butter) don't read webmaster boards :disgust

Oh boy , the Mark/Michael guy is let loose. They have been DMCAing us on Embedded contents from webmasters program from different partners.

This is what happens when you put DMCA on automation .

I believe he is working with Caesar Augustus (nee Gaius Octavius), aka Octavian and a guy named Marcus Lepidus. Not sure if the Roman Empire ever included Canada, but I guess by rights of inheritance it is quite possible it does now. How many Catholic churches do they have there?

Anyway... Just another asshole who keeps sending out stupid DMCA requests. We are piling them up. We are counting up how much business this company is costing us. We will eventually sue for those costs, plus the lawyer fees and the court costs.

They are flakes.... once you ask a serious question they stop responding.

Hey there, Michael
Tnx for sharing this, I actually came to this thread after searching any relevant info on this company and how to deal with it. Wrote you on your site and in Skype, cheers!
