Hotmovies/Moviedollars - what do you do against content theft?
 
Ok, this is really starting to piss me off. This "Studio" page is FULL of stolen content. Actually it looks like 100% of it is not licensed, but stolen from paysites of various Russian affiliate programs.

http://www.hotmovies.com/studio/1167/N-Studio/

Thing is, I reported this "Studio" to Hotmovies before, about 2 years ago maybe. I was told that they won't do anything before the original content owner sends a DMCA notice. So I notified all content owners I could identify and most content from this studio was gone.

So, as this has obviously always been a scam artist, why do you at Hotmovies STILL work with this guy, now he's back with new ripped content? Again I notified all affected affiliate programs I could identify that their stolen content is there, so be prepared to get a shitload of DMCA notices very soon. Also, why do the individual Custodian of Records links for this studio's vids show this:

Quote:
2257 Compliance - Mature Men & Young Girls 18

National A-1 Internet, Inc. & HotMovies.com does not produce any content and makes no representation about any content. All video products offered on this site have been licensed from their respective studios or producers (the "Licensor").

National Internet Service is not in possession of any original 2257 disclaimers for any of the models; however, all of the Licensors that provide content licensed to National Internet Service represent that all models appearing in their productions are over 18 and that the Licensor maintains all appropriate 2257 disclaimers or the equivalent.

The custodian of records information for this video should be available soon.
Source: http://www.hotmovies.com/video/16644...oung-Girls-18/ (content stolen from Royal Cash)

This means you not only have no proof that the content is licensed or any age verification documents, you don't even have a name/address of a custodian of records. And still you allow this guy to sell his stolen stuff through your system?

This really sucks as I promote a lot of the affected sponsors and also have a lot of this content on my TGP's and tubes. And on my Hotmovies Whitelabel site. I'd really like to avoid promoting stolen content of my business partners without even knowing so, which might be understandable.

That would be pretty surprising if HotMovies takes on content providers who can't prove ownership of the content they are putting on HotMovies.

but who knows, i'm sure tube sites have really crippled the PPV sites so maybe they're going the 'if you can't beat 'em join 'em' route

Well, maybe. However, this N-Studio guy is on Hotmovies for YEARS and continues to do the same thing over and over. So looks to be a general problem and not something that just recently appeared with the tube overload.

N-Studio has provided ownership information in the past. How could we or you, or anyone besides the parties envolved know if it's legit?

We'll investigate and take appropriate action.

DMCA sent, thanks OneWhoKnows for e-mailing those links. That's some "studio" they have there.

BIGTYMER 09-09-2011 08:24 AM
Yes, please report back once your investigation has completed.

Well, last time I checked, what was indeed a while ago, it was also full of stolen content, that's all I can say.

I just thought providing ownership information is always mandatory when you upload a movie to Hotmovies. Not just every once in a while. So looks like I was wrong. Also I just don't understand how you can publish a video before you have any information about the custodian of records.

Sure, no prob. Looks like from all the sponsors he stole content from you got hit the hardest. Looks like he posted a lot of your old stuff, before you started watermarking.

Quit promoting them then unless they do something or else you are only shooting yourself in the foot.

jollyhumper 09-09-2011 09:07 AM

Well, looks like James is on it now, so let's see what happens. However, imo the content approval process at HM needs an overhaul.

Yes looks like that - 165 titles out of approximately 300 proved to be our stolen videos. Hotmovies removed them but they didn't close this "studio"'s shop, it's still there and still selling stolen clips.

N(ot my content)-Studio - check it out to see if your content is there, and send DMCAs.

Big thanks to OneWhoKnows for getting us focused on this situation :thumbsup

Just got another "Studio" with stolen content

http://www.hotmovies.com/studio/3626/VadimNaz/

I suppose HotMovies takes a profit share from these illegal transactions
