Received a take down notice on xvideos
 

I just received a take down notice for copyright infringement for a video I am in.... Waiting on the other party to respond.. has anyone dealt with this on xvideos at all? Do you know if xvideos will give you the company doing claims info? Would love to smash them legally.

Yes, one of my exclusive videos was hit with this about a month ago. it was just a mistake on behalf of the producer who submitted it.

Do you own the rights to the video? it could be just a mistake. I messaged back that I owned the video and to have the producer double-check. I also emailed them (the producer with the false DMCA) off their site to let them know. I believe they contacted Xvideos and the infraction was removed from my account.

You mention you are "in" the video. Is it your copyrighted content? Was it a collaboration, and agreements to share/post are in place? It's not clear that you "own" the video, just that you're "in" it. Can you provide more clarity? That might help garner an appropriate response.

Mistake or not, I will go after them legally for false flagging it. Messing with someone else's money is not something that should be taken lightly, yes I own it and its me in the video with my girlfriend. I have yet to get any information about who flagged it but I will go after them and will blog / post there info and let other creators know.

Will xvideos let you know who flagged the video? I have no information just an illegal claim.

Yes, it did say the name of the company that submitted the dmca. And I don’t like to tell anyone how to operate their business, but It could be a legit error so I’d sort it out before you going attacking anyone.

many have been, you´re needing to remove any text on vids but keep your banner at the bottom...

no stress compared to the income :2 cents:

It happened to me several times as 3rd party content manager for a creator.

To give you some context, all the content was from a British couple specialized in deep throat. I stipulated a legal signed contract with them involving several services including: video editing, social networks promotion and management, building a dedicated pay-site and it's promotion trough ads campaigns, a moderation service on 3 live-cam channels and promotional content upload and optimization activity not only on Xvideos but on PornHub, XHamster and SpankBang as well.

In a week or two the all the content received several take down requests on every single big tube.

After a large email exchange with Xvideos and Spankbang (PH and XH didn't reply) it came out that most of the times (if not all the times) the take-down notices were due to some kind of feminists group who was reporting almost all this promo content as sexual abuse videos.

Now, assuming that even a mentally disabled blind person would not think to an abuse or a revenge porn video while watching videos that have a logo reveal intro, a multi camera editing and a watermark driving to a pay site with the full version of the same content, it took me more than two weeks and a shitload of scanned papers to get the content back in place.

So let me give you a couple advices.

1) An advice for blackchariotnetwork: get ready for a fight against the big tubes. They fear feminists much more than they fear lawyers and cops.

2) An advice for all the people working in the industry: get ready for a fight against feminists and woke people. These subjects, who in a civilized country should be locked up in mental hospitals, are acquiring more and more power every day.

How did the industry end up in a shitty situation like this?

This is why I say the leftwingers are far more dangerous to the porn industry than the rightwingers.

XVIDS and SHEER are becoming a disaster. Im fully convinced they are robbing creators and calling it a bug. I will not load ANY of my exclusive content there.

On the flip side, maybe Xvideos, Spankbang, etc., are just fulfilling their legal obligations to keep their DMCA safe harbour status?

Once a DMCA claim is filed, the platform (in this case, the tube site) can only forward information between both parties without getting involved. They might lose their safe harbour status if they set a precedent by getting involved.

That being said, trust me, I sympathize so much with having to deal with fake DMCA claims. It's annoying and is constantly abused by shitty people. The entire system needs a massive overhaul.

looks complicated but not gonna die
