I am always getting DMCAs for my Digital Desire promo, Obviously from a pornstar agency from LA. Fuck!

Where do they send notices?
 
Hello, I see there have been complaints against my website from the companies mentioned here. When I go to lumen.org I can see them although I haven't received any notices from google. Where would google send them to me? How can I get notified from google when there is a dmca complaint? Thanks.

Maybe not even fraud, but unhinged ai bot link crawlers.

There are a lot of models / pornstars AKA bitches using onlyfans trying to get spot #1 on google sending DMCAs to legit sites, affiliate sites etc

Just to be clear here - (If you are sending fake DMCAs, yes, you are a bitch)

If you are legit counter all them

Yes, this is more or less a nightmare nowadays.
I started to receive Google DMCAs for all the content featuring Elsa Jean... Content from all major studios.. I countered them all and do not expect her to bring me to court. :P

But lots of models stating I am stealing the videos on my tube network from their OF, and ALL these videos do have the copyright owner's original watermark [so the paysite names are there..].

What worries me a bit is that I think there's no way to adminitrate/follow these claims and the counter-DMCAs.. It would be nice to see in GSC for example which URLs are Not countered so far and the ones where my counter-notification is accepted.

Even if the keyword is unique, a brand is a trademark not a copyright and trademarks are not subject to DMCA. Jenna Jameson cannot file a DMCA notice against a website for using her name, nor can Disney. DMCA is for copyright only, any attempt to use it for trademarks is invalid.

You have to make your own system. The easiest is with excel spreadsheets. If you want to get fancy, you can create a script that reads your emails for notices and automatically adds/updates urls to your spreadsheet

enforcing a trademark is much easier then a dodgy OF content. :2 cents:

Just try to name your next video " Snow White and 7 cocks" and see how far you get ;)

I saw page 40 and studied it. My position has NOT changed.... (below is my post from p 1)

Quote:

Make your own content and you will get "0" notices. Rely on " dodgy" sources and you get what you deserve. Our DMCA service took down over 1,000 our pirated videos ( in about 3 months) and it did not get a single counterclaim.

... and to Freeones: if you pay less attention if the model is named, and more attention to where the stuff comes from you would save yourself a lot of agro. Here is a simple advice: If it is watermarked ( a picture) or a video clip ( also watermarked) lets say 5 min or less, nobody will complain ( hey, we all like free adverts). But, if it is NOT watermarked, its likely stolen. I had my own experience with Freeones some time ago. To make a point: Somebody posted a bunch of our watermarked pictures ( we thought great ;) free adds) , but your Mods took them down as spam. So, a few days later same bunch of the same pictures got posted, but cropped to delete the watermark, and these were not removed. So we got pissed off and fired of DMCA take down.
... and there you have it. So, if you make your own content watermark it !!! and then NOBODY will be confused contrary to what the article states.

The issue seem to be automated AI notices like some DMCA services now use them. If a OF porn actress uses this, the system will send it to every site her stage name is listed and which isn't manually whitelisted, even if it's Brazzers.

natkejs 08-21-2025 09:03 AM

Did nobody automate the counter notice process yet?

Fight bots with bots.

bigalownz 08-25-2025 10:54 PM

Haha, cool idea!

However, my main issue recetly is that I am getting an automated reply after I submit my Google-counter-DMCA, AND a New One as well (it started a few weeks ago) saying:

"Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

At this time, Google has decided not to reinstate the following URLs because we are concerned that the content in question may violate applicable copyright laws:

my tube domain /search/pipe-baveuse/

If you disagree with this decision, you may choose to refer this matter to a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body or a court. You can learn more about options that may be available to you here. If you have legal questions about your options, you may wish to consult an attorney.
Regards,

The Google Team"

Now this is Fuckling Crazy.
A fucking search page with no results for exact term.
And this comes automatically, like if I lost some kind of trusted status.
I got this for several different terms, mostly noname models, but "solo-anal-fisting" and similar stuff as well..
:error:error:error:error:error
:helpme:helpme:helpme:helpme

WTF can I do?

esham 09-02-2025 07:35 PM

Ive been hit with backlinking sites. I countered then google hit me with policy violation wont be reinstated instantly. Kinda of crazy these people can hit your page with dmca and get it removed just from a single link. Google lists links to these sites. I emailed a lawyer but looks like ill wait on that. Maybe ill just switch up the url for the time being. Play cat and mouse.

Do you own the content? Probably not, no?

Some of my urls got reinstated today. But there is no content its a link. I have a blurred screen shot of a site. Some of the screen shots had no images on the page.

Also starting to get take down requests for search results even though they do not display anything related to the search term.

Haven't seen the message you're getting, though over the last month or so I have also not been receiving any follow ups. Just the first email that acknowledges that they got the counter notice and then silence.

They don't seem to have much interest in re-instating promotional content, even though the DMCA take down notices themselves aren't legit.

In your case it looks like you reached the end of the line as far as dealing with Google directly.

Sucks.

My favorite DMCA reports are the ones that come in for pages with nothing on them, just usernames and basic information that aren't protected by any copyright law.

I run a site that scrapes live cam sites for basic user details like usernames, location, age, languages, and body decorations. Even though there isn't a single image or video of the user, they start flooding the report system with messages like, "This letter is the official notification under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) and I request the immediate removal of the aforementioned infringing material from your servers."

Normally, I just click a button to remove these profiles immediately, but when someone is trying to be a smartass, I enjoy responding and asking for official documentation that their usernames are actually copyrighted. It's so funny to watch them lose their minds.

The report stated that the model, a couple actually, were active on Chaturbate, Stripchat, Bongacams, and Cam4, however, three of those profiles were either removed or banned, except for the one on Chaturbate, which has been abandoned for four years now.

Funny moments ;)
