Indiscriminate DMCA of 990 alleged chaturbate pirated recordings
 

https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/15046219

Just received notice that I'm included in this list...

The content they're complaining about has existed on my site since before chaturbate even opened. It's not pirated and I doubt it's even anything to do with the chaturbate model.

Looks like they're just doing a search for <chaturbate_screen_name> and <cam_related_keyword> and throwing every result in.

And to further prove how dumb this is... one of the URLs is a record company...

Did chaturbate initiate this?

same here looks like bullshit the url they submitted has nothing on it. in my case anyways i'm using only a chaturbate XML feed
google search console alert popped up and told me i only have one url they sent it at.

I’m in the same boat.

We got it too for entirely unrelated content. They had better retract this shit from Google ASAP.

Chaturbate should fire the dimwits pumping out their DMCA notices OR get to the bottom of what is going on. Malwarebytes is popping up when we hit the page.

It's a lot more than 990, that`s just one page.

Great. What a clusterfuck.

Got a load of DMCA come in too :2 cents:

Not sure if this is the real Chaturbate (Multi Media, LLC) or the impersonator. None of the dates match the one from the notice linked in the OP, and there doesn't seem to be a way to search the transparency report site for company names.

Note that the bottom table shows 0% of URLs removed for all claims.

We're going to counter-file with Google and include the techdirt stories url. The one post they are showing for us is not related to chaturbate at all.

Now, it is becoming a serious issue. Good luck with counter filing 990 notices...

This morning I got a DMCA for one of my Chaturbate white label sites that does nothing but funnel them traffic. (from lumendatabase.org)

Nice.

Steve of CB posted about the issue in this thread

I have get reply from google about all my counter notice and no action been taken as of yet they say.

same shit here...

they just go round and round!




Black Hat SEO and DMCA -- who would have thought .... NVM :)

Same here

And i do not even push them in any possible way besides the WIDGET I added on the blog. Besides that, no links, no videos, no nothing.
This is initiated by Chaturbate?

Most probably initiated by CB.

The DMCA should have the name of the person sending it. Threaten legal action.

23,000 pages of pirated content.... Wow ! And Google did what? Probably nothing:2 cents:

Read the techdirt articles.

The DMCA was sent to Google, so us merely affected webmasters are not privy to that information.

You can check your domain here:

https://transparencyreport.google.co...chaturbate.com

(Replace the domain in the URL with your own)

So yeah, by doing that I've discovered this isn't the first time my site has been DMCA'd by the mystery Chaturbate white knight.

In checking the transparency report it seems every major cam site has had a gigantic spike in DMCAs beginning in Aug/Sep timeframe.

It's come to our attention that a malicious and unknown third party has been submitting false DMCA takedown notices to Google. Here are two Techdirt articles about this matter:
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20...s-update.shtml.
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20...irt-urls.shtml

We have been working with Google to identify the source of these false notices so that Google can know to ignore them. In the meantime, to the extent that you continue to receive erroneous takedown notices, we recommend that you continue disputing them by sending Google counternotices explaining that these notices are false.


Google has a counternotice form: https://support.google.com/legal/con...ebsearch&uraw=

It?s pretty simple to fill out, here are the steps:

1) Fill in your name, title, company name, mailing address, email address, and phone number

2) Provide a list of the URLs that have received a takedown demand. (Pay attention to instructions and advice provided by Google about number of URLs to provide per notice.)

3) Choose the excuse that applies to your counternotice (e.g., "I am not the owner, but I am authorized to use the content").

4) Read and (assuming they are true for you) check the boxes next to the sworn statements.

5) Type your full name in the signature box.

6) Click the ?Submit? button.

7) Repeat if necessary for additional batches of URLs.

Wonder if this is an elaborate scheme to fish for information. If you submit a counter-notice, the complainant will see your contact details.

Steve,

As a promoter of the girls material, it would be nice to respectfully show a short clip or picture without them sending a DMCA to being with.

Promoting their name, pictures, etc, is good publicity right? It would be different if someone kept showing full length private chats.

Anyone else think similarly?

This :thumbsup

Legally, if a sponsor licenses an affiliate to use a certain group of promo tools they already have, at a minimum non-exclusive copyright licensing of and by the broadcasting party (model(s)).

IDK who is zoomin' who here ....

I am thinking the same, its a scheme, but for what exactly?

Do you have a link Juici ??:)

New affiliate leads, of course! :winkwink: :Oh crap

(This joke probably would have worked better 10 years ago when programs cared about affiliates)

There we go ...

Real ? Or Internet news ?

Yes, it is real for sure, even Chaturbate linked to these articles before.

wow nice
