I receive so many emails of people claiming "DMCA takedown notice" it's fucking funny!
First of all .... just telling me that you want
XXXXXX.jpg removed "
because of DMCA" is not a properly formatted request, and will go right to my trash!
If you have a legitimate request, and cannot even bother to google how to format a proper DMCA taketown request, then I am sorry to say, but you are also going straight to my trash.
I get so many affiliates also trying to have me close down sites hosted by me, because somebody copied their gallery or blog post .... I'm sorry, but only the OWNER of an image - or their assigned agent - can request a takedown. Affiliates have no ownership rights over said photos, so again you are wasting my time.
I even once had some chinese guy claiming to be a lawyer order me to take down the very large British escort site I host, because
"it's color scheme was the same as his site, and he is obviously trying to copy his site's look!"
My reply to this chinese lawyer was simply "
ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH? PLEASE STOP WASTING MY TIME, AND HAVE A NICE DAY!!"
Bottom line really is, if anybody is hosting images that do belong to others, take 30 minutes to educate yourself as to what constitutes a legal DMCA notice, and what is bullshit. Too many people think DMCA is a blanket clause to get
anything removed that
anybody wants ..... You just have to cite "DMCA" and people are going to be shaking in their boots!
