lauraloveskatrina.com (teenflood) : registrar received DMCA for "illegal content"
 

I'm a lauraloveskatrina (teenflood) affiliate, using thumbnails generated from their FHG pics, and I've just been DMCA'd for a single thumbnail. Has anyone else been DMCA'd for any of their content?

The complainant claims she was 15 when the image was taken. If so, then obviously that needs to be dealt with (to be honest I'm not bothered about removing a 9 year old FHG from rotation on my TGPs) but, if she's a model then she probably has no right to be making these DMCA claims.

Also the mention of it being a "profile" makes me wonder if it's just some random fishing. This is from a paysite that features two solo girls (and guest models?) with professionally shot content.

Moniker stated that I needed to "remove the illegal content in question" - they just take the claim at face value, of course. :321GFY

I've included the text below with some personal information redacted.

Anyone else seeing this?

Bump for an industry-related thread

Sorry it's not about Trump.

What did the sponsor say when you told them? Is 15 the legal age Down Under? If not, it?s child porn and your host would and could be held liable.

What?s worse i# if it?s legal there, it isn?t in the USA in most states, so if a USA customer views and/or downloads her pictures, they are in deep shit.

I?d talk to the sponsor as you got the pictures from them. Consider emailing her and tell her the pictures were legally obtained from Sponsor Name and ny dispute re DMCA must be handled by them. That way you have, in writing, proof you informed the model of non-ownership.

Or, delete the pictures and move on.

Take that shit down dude!

Just googling lauraloveskatrina shows she was obviously underage in many shoots ugh!

The girl has zero right to DMCA shit. She was probably not under age either. She's been caught doing porn and is in panic mode.

After all the bad shit about Moniker that's been posted here and people still do business with them?

more probably is a wedding mode on :)

rowan can you jump onto our support board, and forward me the full email with headers ??

I can assure you that her docs that we have on file are legit, and she is legal. My assumption is that someone is fucking with you.

Laura and Katrina are the same girls that are also on nubiles, they were shot at the same time by the same photog.

Thanks!

I was postulating that the "OMG I was underage" thing is bullshit, because this is professionally produced content from a reputable program. I realised later that the email contained an attachment of what look like two passports, which clearly show her date of birth, and make it less likely (but not absolutely certain) that she was under 18 when the photos were taken.

[edit: I worded that strangely. What I mean is that the passport most likely means she was OVER 18, but it is not absolute proof.]

I wasn't trying to contest that 15 may be legal "somewhere." I do not touch anything that's not 18+

Have done so already.

It's smart of her (if it is actually the model) to say she was underage because most people, myself included, do not want to be associated with even the hint of potentially illegal content. If it was a straight copyright claim there's less chance of people rolling over immediately.

Is there an address I can email? I'd rather not use the contact form. PM me an email addr if you like.

I think the claim may be for another model who featured in a shoot. I'll let you know full details once we're in contact.

tim at tfcash.com will do

Thanks

Have forwarded you the email and attachments. :thumbsup

Let's hope she gets a good pro bono attorney that gets that shit taken down :2 cents:
