      DOMAIN, MODELNAME 2x and YOUR NAME (first and last name):

      Dear Google,

      My site DOMAIN.com is a site that only use the API from Chaturbate to promote the live model feeds from the main Chaturbate site. There are no other pictures or banners with content of this model (MODELNAME) or other models illegal taken on my site and have never been there before.

      Since all models on Chaturbate have to agree with the TOS of Chaturbate, all the models have no right to claim a DMCA notice if the site only shows the live feed from the Chaturbate API, that also counts for complainer MODELNAME.

      So I hereby ask you to declare this complaint unfounded and not to remove my site or this url from Google.

      Kind regards,
      YOUR NAME
      This assumes some retard at Google has read it and has the power to do something about it.

                  I'm reposting this from the Chaturbate thread:

                  The DMCA situation is out of control. I'm receiving 2 to 6 complaints per day from a collection of seemingly fake companies.

                  I've figured out which real company they appear to be associated with: Rulta (https://www.rulta.com/)

                  I compared the language and style of writing used in the complaints from the fake DMCA services with a complaint from Rulta, and they definitely match.

                  Does anyone have any idea as to why Rulta would choose to make use of fake names? Possibly to avoid being penalized by Google for dubious, high-volume text-based/automated complaints? I'm on my 6th DMCA complaint for the day today and the situation is getting ridiculous -- they're all affiliated with Chaturbate performers, but they're not from Chaturbate itself.

                    In looking things over, I think I might be wrong. They're causing confusion by using names like "Rulta Sentinel" and "Rulta Sentinel Pro" -- the whole thing is bizarre.

                      Yes its them. They keep creating shell companies to send automated DMCAs on behalf of their clients. I'm not sure why, but my guess is it's so they can avoid getting banned for abusing the DMCA process.

                        That was my exact theory as well.

                        This is really bad... I'm literally receiving around 10 per day now and they're targeting some URLs multiple times. It's a forum and SEO is a major channel for traffic.

                          Anyone have contacts for Infringement Blocker and DMCA Watch Pro

                          They are sending out false DMCA notices for chaturbate models.... on a page that strictly uses a streamate API that was given permission to use.

                            I'm seeing the same thing and the DMCA notices generally reference Chaturbate models who have never even been mentioned,so it is not even a bad scraper. Not sure if they are trying to attack Chaturbate or what, but it is annoying.

                              Those companies are fake and I've been hit with them too. They don't exist and it's unclear who they're affiliated with, as outlined below.

                              Initially, NoWhErE and I thought Rulta might be sending out complaints under a bunch of different names. I've done a search here: https://lumendatabase.org/notices/se...rbate&sort_by=

                              The results contain a bunch of names that are derivative or related to Rulta, but I think they're simply hijacking the name. We have "Rulta Watch", "Rulta Sentinel", "Rulta Sentinel Pro", "Rulta Infringement Sentinel", "Rulta Blocker Guard" and "Rulta OU Cooperative Services".

                              I genuinely thought "Rulta OU Cooperative Services" might have been Rulta, but it doesn't appear to be. This is the description they used within their complaint.

                              "Rulta OU Cooperative Services have discovered the fact of illegal distribution of our client copyrighted content owned by ksensual/chaturbate, a user on Chaturbate.com webcam platform. This content was captured without authorization from https://chaturbate.com/ksensual/chaturbate. Rulta OU Cooperative Services have a good faith belief that the use of the ksensual/chaturbate copyrighted material described above is not authorized by ksensual/chaturbate, the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. The information provided in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, Rulta OU Cooperative Services declare that ksensual/chaturbate am the copyright owner, Rulta OU Cooperative Services authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Rulta OU Cooperative Services request that you remove or disable access to the infringing material as soon as possible."

                              Meanwhile, here's a real complaint from Rulta OU: https://lumendatabase.org/notices/35976287

                              Description: "Adult content created on onlyfans.com"

                              Here's Rulta OU's massive collection of takedowns: https://transparencyreport.google.co...request_by_org

                              My purpose in going over all of this is to establish that, in my opinion, Rulta isn't behind these bogus takedowns. It's someone else. The different names that are being cited all belong to the same person or organization, as the descriptions are nearly identical, however it's unclear who is actually behind these.

                              I'm experiencing something similar, except in my case, the pages they're scooping up contain the performer's name. It's just text though and it's clearly automated.

                                Wasnt there some group in adult that was going to take on false DMCA companies and shut this all down for everyone ??

                                Whatever happened to that ?

                                Again, until a group of affiliates and producers get together and co-fund litigation against some of supposed copyright holders, this will not stop. There's no financial interest for it to stop.

                                These companies sell their BS services to models/creators and they are making hundreds to thousands from each one every month. They know they don't have any liability under the law so its almost pure profit for them and no downside.

                                  I don't think those who created that group (and those who subsequently joined) intended for it to be a solution for an aff with a cam site API on their site

                                  they are site owners tired of getting DMCA'ed for their own content on their own sites, plus legit material used by their affs

                                  been quiet about it ever since so hopefully successful?

                                  I wrote about that here in a thread posted by someone also dealing with false DMCAs as an aff

                                  the link is https://avn.com/business/articles/te...es-920542.html


                                  like you wrote, they make bank off performers, providing little to no value in exchange. there's a reason these dmca co's prey on camgirls. esp cb which tends to skew young and inexperienced with adult

                                  this problem is NOT caused by cb cammers. or OF creators. many of these performers are ripe for the picking, extracting their dollaz to fuck over legit affs

                                  hell, xbiz gave an award to BrandItScan who did makeovers at an event to gain clients. aka DMCA Piracy Protection, a profligate source of false DMCAs

                                  everyone gets fucked (not in the fun way) as they make money. what a way to live
                                  throwing molotav cocktails at the precinct

                                    Again, until a group of affiliates and producers get together and co-fund litigation against some of supposed copyright holders, this will not stop. There's no financial interest for it to stop.

                                    These companies sell their BS services to models/creators and they are making hundreds to thousands from each one every month. They know they don't have any liability under the law so its almost pure profit for them and no downside.
                                    I guess I am one of the " Supposed copyright holders." I have hired DMCA service about 4 months ago, they issued over 1200 DMCA notices with about 99 % pirates complied and the 1% or so ( mostly Albanian, Ukrainian Russian based sites) which ignored the notices.

                                    The point I am trying to make is that we ( or my DMCA agent) did NOT receive a SINGLE counterclaim ! Why not ??? Since most here " cry" how unfair DMCA services are... Somebody should educate me.

                                      Because you are in a completely different business altogether. You make movies for one, and two, they are tasteful and there is no chance of anyone else being able to claim ownership over them. Any type of misuse of your copyrighted content will be infringing, and no websites are likely to have mentions of them, at least not legally. So, most, if not all of your takedown notices will be legitimate.

                                      People complaining in this thread are complaining about illegal organizations sending fraudulent DMCA notices where there is no infringing content, period.

                                      SImply put; they are removing pages from SERP's based on a random keyword alone, and not much else. For example, there might be a cam girl named "Pornhub" (there actually was one, on MFC) and these organizations will DMCA any mention of the said keyword from a site, whether it's a legal page or not. They are not checked by a human... this is what everyone is complaining about. No one is defending thievery.
                                      Sorrow and solitude, these are the precious things, and the only words that are worth rememberin'

                                        Initially, NoWhErE and I thought Rulta might be sending out complaints under a bunch of different names. I've done a search here: https://lumendatabase.org/notices/se...rbate&sort_by=

                                        The results contain a bunch of names that are derivative or related to Rulta, but I think they're simply hijacking the name. We have "Rulta Watch", "Rulta Sentinel", "Rulta Sentinel Pro", "Rulta Infringement Sentinel", "Rulta Blocker Guard" and "Rulta OU Cooperative Services".

                                        I genuinely thought "Rulta OU Cooperative Services" might have been Rulta, but it doesn't appear to be. This is the description they used within their complaint.

                                        "Rulta OU Cooperative Services have discovered the fact of illegal distribution of our client copyrighted content owned by ksensual/chaturbate, a user on Chaturbate.com webcam platform. This content was captured without authorization from https://chaturbate.com/ksensual/chaturbate. Rulta OU Cooperative Services have a good faith belief that the use of the ksensual/chaturbate copyrighted material described above is not authorized by ksensual/chaturbate, the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. The information provided in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, Rulta OU Cooperative Services declare that ksensual/chaturbate am the copyright owner, Rulta OU Cooperative Services authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Rulta OU Cooperative Services request that you remove or disable access to the infringing material as soon as possible."

                                        Meanwhile, here's a real complaint from Rulta OU: https://lumendatabase.org/notices/35976287

                                        Description: "Adult content created on onlyfans.com"

                                        Here's Rulta OU's massive collection of takedowns: https://transparencyreport.google.co...request_by_org

                                        My purpose in going over all of this is to establish that, in my opinion, Rulta isn't behind these bogus takedowns. It's someone else. The different names that are being cited all belong to the same person or organization, as the descriptions are nearly identical, however it's unclear who is actually behind these.



                                        I'm experiencing something similar, except in my case, the pages they're scooping up contain the performer's name. It's just text though and it's clearly automated.
                                        Rulta is behind bogus takedowns, I don't know if they are the ones you are referring to, but Rulta also sends massive amounts of false reports.

                                        And their Turkish owners are idiots. And they know well what they do.

                                          In another thread from a year ago, someone posted screenshots of DMCA Privacy Prevention and other such companies sending takedowns to Amazon and NASA for the keyword Rabbit Hole which was a model's nickname.

                                          Do you have an affiliate program so that there is a counter notification by someone who uses the content legitimately? Is it worth it to submit a counter notification if the legitimately used content has no traffic or does not rank?

                                            they are site owners tired of getting DMCA'ed for their own content on their own sites, plus legit material used by their affs

                                            been quiet about it ever since so hopefully successful?

                                            I wrote about that here in a thread posted by someone also dealing with false DMCAs as an aff

                                            the link is https://avn.com/business/articles/te...es-920542.html


                                            like you wrote, they make bank off performers, providing little to no value in exchange. there's a reason these dmca co's prey on camgirls. esp cb which tends to skew young and inexperienced with adult

                                            this problem is NOT caused by cb cammers. or OF creators. many of these performers are ripe for the picking, extracting their dollaz to fuck over legit affs

                                            hell, xbiz gave an award to BrandItScan who did makeovers at an event to gain clients. aka DMCA Piracy Protection, a profligate source of false DMCAs

                                            everyone gets fucked (not in the fun way) as they make money. what a way to live
                                            It's actually a perfect end game to late stage capitalism. Vultures circle a dying wagon and that wagon is going "take off my spokes first, fuck the axle".

                                              very poetic. I take it back, you ARE good at math

                                              I don't think it's about late stage capitalism though. everyone is just trying to figure it out. let those with the funds to do it fight it and (hopefully, with a win) the courts will set precedent. if it comes to that

                                              it probs won't, but point is without a lawsuit all peeps can do is express 'this is your notice you WILL be sued if you don't leave us alone'

                                              how could any companies with the means to fight back cover every aff with a site with cam embeds?

                                              but yeah, simply vultures (as you aptly put it) circling in on the 'spokes' via selling bullshit to performers at a high cost

                                              do some of them do some good? of course. but the DMCA industry is becoming a more and more predatory system banking at the expense of performers and affs

                                              don't forget a lot of these co's charge by package. this many URLs for this much a month

                                              it's in their interest to say, 'wow, we found a lot more so upgrade and we'll DMCA them too'

                                              more a biz model of hyena AND vulture (no disrespect to actual hyenas or vultures) embodied in the practices of these anon co's

                                              someone has to do something though, this ish is getting out of control. I think talking more to performers would help

                                              why are the sites (cb looking at you, you too OF) not educating performers about things to look for in choosing a DMCA co?

                                              it's really not trig

                                                Speaking of your example I am not sure I am clear. This hypothetical cam girl, makes her own original content, maybe simpler but in principle same as us. All our movies are electronically fingerprinted, she can do the same . No ? and as to SERP? These are overrated. But in any case, she should register a domain and should not call herself Kamala ( or any other common name and stick to her domain) and problem with SERP will be fixed. No?

                                                  Read my post above about cam babes registering a domain and using it, and not use something common as Rabit Hole. I believe if she had a legit domain rabbithole.com she would not have had the issue.

                                                  My DCMA service NOT only answers e mails promptly but I can also pick up a phone and phone them and I did ( at least initially) when I was not clear on something.

                                                  No we have NO affiliate program, we let our content stand on its own. This avoids problems. Our DMCA service avoids taking down anything of ours if it is watermarked and shorter then 15 minutes. I have noticed recently that few pirates ( living off clicks) got tired of uploading our content ( 90 + min. movies and the content being taken down almost immediately), they started to cut the movies to short clips and watermark them. The irony is that these ( so far only few) pirates are almost our affiliates promoting our content.

                                                    Speaking of your example I am not sure I am clear. This hypothetical cam girl, makes her own original content, maybe simpler but in principle same as us. All our movies are electronically fingerprinted, she can do the same . No ? and as to SERP? These are overrated. But in any case, she should register a domain and should not call herself Kamala ( or any other common name and stick to her domain) and problem with SERP will be fixed. No?
                                                    She makes her own original content, and yes, she owns the copyright to the said content. Much like yourself, a lot of them register their works as well.

                                                    Now, none of those things are an issue here... the issue is the brandability; their names are often generic (for privacy reasons) and they do not wish to have a unique brand due to stalkers, so we find ourselves in situations where you have these companies sending fraudulent notices based on nothing more than a generic keyword...

                                                    Is it the cam girl's fault? No, I don't think so... the companies should search for the infringing content manually, and remove the said content.

                                                    The cam girl isn't affected, it's website owners like Freeones.com (one of the few honest people in the business) that get the raw end of the deal for no apparent reason.

                                                    Same with people like @mechanicvirus and @jscott, they run legit sites and get shit for no reason. They are affiliates, and they use legal promo content, they get these notices due to generic names.
                                                    Sorrow and solitude, these are the precious things, and the only words that are worth rememberin'

                                                        Thank you, this is the perfect response and I want to reiterate that many good affiliates are being caught up in mass DMCA sweeps that are not only killing their ranks, but also removing hard work and trust that porn brands build up to be promoted.

                                                          She has a business, then she should behave as a business woman. It is her fault or maybe her naivete. There is NO excuse being lazy, uninformed or cheap to register a domain. I know MANY adult performers who have their on domain.

                                                          the companies should search for the infringing content manually, and remove the said content.
                                                          My service took down about 1500 of our videos in the 5 months we hired them. This after scanning literally millions of websites daily. Doing this manually would be time and financially prohibitive. That is why we have " digital fingerprinting".

                                                          Freeones.... not so innocent ( see my post above), also by NO fault of their own they end up in the DMCA loop.

                                                          They are affiliates, and they use legal promo content, they get these notices due to generic names.
                                                          AS I have said above, using unregistered and generic names is stupid ! Enough said

                                                            You are talking about videos, probably you are scanning on model names so that's why my only cam aggregator sites get DMCA notices.

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?

                                                                                        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.

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.

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.
