DMCA on leak sites
 

If someone DMCA's through google a page on a leak site does the leak site remove the content? Or just ignore's the DMCA from google effectively?


If they don't remove the content, does google do anything eventually to their site? Like ban their main site URL or decrease their overall rank of their whole site?

The leak site part of this question doesnt change much.
Basicly if you dmca google, it will remove that specific url from the google index, nothing more or less.

(i believe you can also dmca hostings, and then the answer might change, but for just google, all they do is deindex that specific url)

It will not remove the URL if they send a counter notice. There's where Google's legal obligation ends.

What will hypothetically stop them from hosting the questionable content is contacting their host with a complaint. Even if they use CloudFlare, the DMCA will be forwarded to the host. Most serious hosts have low tollerance for piracy.

According to a google document leaked 1 - 2 years ago when domains receive many reports they are demoted in the results.

If they send a counter notice Google will send that notice back to you. If you don't accept the reasoning in the notice on why it should still be in the index then Google won't reinstate the URL. If you ignore the counter claim Google will reinstate the URL.

Take me as an example.

A can model who is dumber than fuck signs up to cam with xcams. She picks what countries to ban from seeing her. Then she still gets found out because her cousin two blocks over is using a VPN to get around the ban because he wants to see Colombians. And he knows there are more than 10 out there.

Shit! Now everyone in town knows she's a slut. Damn! She closes the amount on xcams, but doesn't send them a request to have affiliates notified that she wants to remove it. So it languishes on my cam aggregator site. And people looking for stupidbunnyincolombia find her full profile on my site and continue to harass her.

She doesn't come to me and politely ask to be taken off my site. Which I'd gladly do. Why subject somebody to such harassment?

So she heard that cousin Danny found her on Google. So she sends Google a DMCA notice which they forward to me. I look her up. She was camming just last week! WTF! I send a counter notice stating that while I'm not the owner of the content I have a license to use it for marketing purposes from xcams. And I include the articles of the modeling and affiliate TOS that explain such.

They let her know that she has no rights.

Then she comes to me with:

Fuck you asshole! I never gave you no right to me! Mother fucker! Take down my content!

And I do. Of course she would have saved a couple of days coming to me however she felt like coming to me. And I would have taken it down.

Then... Barbiefucksken from Streamate notices my site showing her video stream. Oh my God! Actually. It's her dumb fuck boyfriend who does. Cause she's streaming so she ain't looking that shit up while working (I hope). And they send Google a notice. To which I send a counter explaining why I have the right to do so. Google let's them know this is how affiliate marketing works. And Google adds her back into the index on my site.

I've received about 50000 notices and Google has never - not even once - told me they will keep it out of the index. They've always reinstated.

So barbie comes to me like that Colombian chick with hell or high water. And I politely send her the same TOS I sent to Google and then put anything else she has to say to spam.

Very rarely a cam company asks me directly to remove a model. To the 50000 DMCA I've received perhaps 300 from a company asking me to remove a model.

If a model is still working I'm not removing them. They can ask the company to remove them from marketing materials, which means they get removed from all WL and API feeds of all kinds. Then the company asks me to remove them.

If they haven't been working for a decent length of time I remove them. No use in keeping them up if they don't want to be up and aren't working.


Leak sites. They suck.

Google does not degrade a site overall no matter how many DMCA it receives.

does pornhub counter all? if not, why are they at the top always?

Pornhub is doing the DMCA bot thing.

If you see the reports they are sending millions of proxy urls smiliar to proxy.gd

we just mirror the site after awhile, nothing you can do to stop it. But go ahead and waste your time and energy.

I read it wrong...

Pornhub hardly receives DMCAs anymore, pornhub went from being one of the ones that received the most to being the one that sent the most reports.

And it appears as one of "those success stories" in the fight against piracy.

Google explained the case of Pornhub in a post a while ago.

they are awful prod as well. on page time if you are linking to a non leak site is almost zero. vs a regular blog or site.
