for me I spent about 3k to get a bunch more, and got that 3k back as well. glad Ms J was paid, she more than deserved it
lawyer who took me on set me up with one of his newest associates. American but Jamaican by birth. didn't even live here yet, was still in CA at the time. through my husband knew her people. might have been why she worked for me so hard, but honestly she was just young, eager, fighter for her clients
weird confluence of events, just saying in lived experience small claims can work. that was the point I specifically addressed to refute your assertion
not all the DMCA cos are in some far off foreign land. either way, rather than help people in your free time just all 'lawyer up and sue'
you responded stating it's easier to go after creators. no doubt. had addressed why
they often don't know
yes 'ignorance of the law no excuse blah blah' but treat peeps like "don't worry yo pretty lil head but I'll see you in court" when simple convos can bring down parasite companies and protect legit industry
you're a hammer. not everything is a nail. often there are easier, cheaper, more effective ways. like talking to peeps and sharing info
on every set, in resources on every fan and clips site, just talk to people and provide info. if receiving an unfair DMCA for legit content, hit up the performer if he/she is still active along with doing the tedious work of a DMCA counter
for the one I referenced, try getting a list of 1000's of URLs as 'proof' of work performed. they hire these co's so they don't have to wade through all that. that's the point and these co's take advantage of it
annoying to act when targeted, but possible to prevent further fuckery absent court
real pirates need to die in a fire, we're not talking about those peeps here
more broadly do a Matyko. good luck man, you're super cool. keep dancing
