Fradulent DMCA's from DMCA Piracy Prevention

[jscott]

While we are all busy enjoying Xmas, opening presents & eating casseroles, DMCA Privacy Prevention was busy sending out fraudulent DMCA's hoping they could help their clients delist legal content from Google to help their client rankings (what other reason would there before sending their massive amounts of fraud DMCA's for legal licensed contents).

The frauds that run DMCA Privacy Prevention and/or the clients that hire them should be ashamed at what their business has become.

To anyone receiving these, make sure you always file counter-DMCA's, I believe someday Google will do what's right and ban/block/destroy companies that thrive on fraudulent activity like this.

Merry Xmas to you all, aside from anyone who does business with, works for, or runs DMCA Privacy Prevention Inc.

What are they getting you on? Chaturbate API?

They're filing fraudulent DMCA's regarding old legal paysite content, from sponsor sites like Brazzers, EvilAngel, Bangbros, etc, they say the original urls are X, Instagram, Onlyfans etc.

Their company name is BrandItScan (or BlandShitScam) so say their name! Or, do something about it, like talk to your lawyers. People have been bitching about them (here, and other platforms), for years, but no one does a damn thing but complain.

Their front-facing name is BrandItScan (BlandShitScam). Complaining about them, here does nothing, and people are constantly complaining about them, yet do nothing! Talk to your attorney(s) and do something about it. Legitimate DMCA companies are sick of it, too.

DMCA Piracy Prevention is the worst of all similar companies. About six months ago, they sent me up to 100 fraudulent DMCA notices a day for 10 days straight. In total, they managed to remove about 1,300 URLs from Google, including those with the highest traffic. It was a nightmare. I lost a third of my traffic.

I contacted them several times and asked them to stop. Finally, I got a response from them saying that they would put me on their blacklist. I don't know if they really did, but it stopped after ten days.

Of course, I sent counter-notices to all of their DMCA notices. Just filling out all the forms every day took me an hour or two.

It took four months for Google to respond and gradually start returning the URLs to the search results. I had given up hope. I did a 301 redirect for the most important URLs to get them back into Google.

It's been half a year now, but every day I'm afraid it will start again. They are capable of destroying any website that has traffic from Google. It doesn't matter how big your website is. They are capable of sending DMCA notices with 200 URLs a day or even more.

Google won't do anything about it. I wrote them several emails and filled out several of their contact forms before I finally got a response. They said it's their policy to remove URLs after they receive a DMCA complaint. They told me to file a counter-notification and they might return the URLs to the results.

The only thing I've noticed is that Google now responds much faster to counter-notices. It no longer takes four months, but maybe two days.

A few more things.

There's no way to defend against it. They use a script to download all URLs for a specific website directly from Google results. It's not complicated. Then they send a DMCA and don't even bother to check if there is any content on those URLs. The DMCA contained URLs to pages that were on the first page of Google, as well as URLs that had no traffic or were even redirected, but were simply indexed by Google.

The worst part is that it all happens automatically. Everything is handled by a computer. They send DMCA notices 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No one at Google checks their DMCA complaints. A DMCA notice arrives and the URL is automatically deleted from Google. I don't know how they got that status. With other companies, Google at least verifies the formalities. Or it has happened to me that I received a DMCA notice and a few hours later an email from Google saying that they had checked it, recognized it as an unjustified complaint, and returned the URL to the results themselves. And usually, Google doesn't send complaints from other companies right away. The claim date is a few days ago. But with DMCA Piracy Prevention, those notices come in real time. Easily 50 per hour. Before you can fill out one counter-notice, you'll get 20 more DMCA notices.

There are other companies like Bruqi, Leak Cleaner, Traqeer, but none of them are as bad as DMCA Piracy Prevention.

I counter them automatically using AI, costs me like $30 per 100 counter notices. It's not perfect but it helps keep them at bay during periods when getting hit hard.

Don't mind sharing my solution, it's not advanced, not even that good but it kinds of works. Lets see if I get around to making a thread about it. Surely someone could make it much better.

I do not get it.They are taking down YOUR ORIGINALLY created content? Or likely pirated ( oops sorry ) I mean " user submitted" content to a tube?

I use an old program caleld TypeItIn so I don't have to write the same stuff all the time..
probably better tools for this but that's the one I've always used

I'm talking about sponsor provided licensed content.

This is what happens:

1. a content producer produces legally licensed content of models to go on paysite/sponsor sites.

2. affiliates promote sponsor sites with that content

3. years pass, the models open their onlyfans/manyvids and work for themselves

4. the models (maybe urged by DMCA services) want to knockout all their old content and all competitors to boost their own OF/MV rankings by DMCA'ing affiliate contents and have their licensed & legal contents removed from Google

This is fraud by the DMCA services and by those who pay them to do it.

[mechanicvirus]

You have to CC every paysite contact you have with these DMCA emails.

You will also have to face completely false DMCA companies with zero contact such as:

Leak Cleaner
CopyArmor
DMCA.Red
Self titled "dmca" on the form that is clearly not an agency

[Kelli58]

These automated DMCA companies are THE WORST. So many fucking false DMCA's it's out of hand.

[xxxclusive]

If it's really sponsor provided content it's likely that you are not whitelisted by those sevices, when I use it can whitelist pages where I know they have trailers of my stuff. The DMCAs are automated now and everything that triggers the keywords gets DMCA.

[natkejs]

If only they used some type of fingerprinting, but they just target search strings.

And with the millions of aspiring models, some names are pretty generic and can fit into many other names or even general niches / descriptions. Extreme example, call yourself Anna and then let these bots loose on your "trademark", but that's basically what's happening.

Getting borderline annoying.
