Board stealing content
 

A big portuguese board is posting stolen content from one of my paysites. I already asked the mods to take it down, what else can I do? Should I try to contact their host? Threaten them? What?..

... if content gets posted on the net it turns to "public domain" ... pretty much nothing you can do about it, beside keeping your content of the web ("private domain").

Are you drunk?

... stone cold sober, mate !

thats bullshit dude.

Copyright is there, even if you don't register your content. Think it's $700 per image. Write them, you don't get satisfaction, write their ISP.

This is 100% bullshit.. The only time something is "public domain" is if a) it's produced by the government or b) the original artist or photographer abandons their copyright. Read the DMCA lately?

I can't help but think he was kidding.. :)

I agree. But I still think I was drunk :Graucho

How can I find who hosts the board? :helpme

There is a difference between <b>public domain</b> and <b>"public domain"</b>. Think about it.

No one other than lawyers and a few ip nerds read through the full text of the DMCA.

You might wish you had read it when you get served one and ignore it.

This statement is just silly. Are you suggesting that I've violated the DMCA?

I read legal summaries. e.g., Lessig who actually knows IP law quite well and can put the legislation in context of precdent.

I contend that less than .01% of GFY users have read the DMCA cover to cover. Have you? Can you quote it?

pirates?:warning

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

HE IS KIDDING PPL!!!

*i hope*

img src a site.

Board are database intensive, very easy to take it down.

1 look at their domain reg info.

I still say you shoudl img src it.

If I img src them... I will be starting a war. And I dont need a war with a board that has 100+ leechers and some hackers connected at the same time, all the time.

I will try to find their host and talk to them, and I'll talk to their sponsor (I know him).

If all else fails, can I img src them in a way that they cant track it? And what kind of traffic would I need to take them down?

Of course this is not legal, and I am just curious about it :Graucho

Bom dia Tuga!

What's the URL of the board? I speak portugese too and maybe I can help you.

Boa tarde :)

The url is www.chupa-mos.com
DNS ns1.isp4b.com and ns3.isp4b.com

I think the mail of the host is [email protected] , but I was just playing with some dns tools. Can anyone find more info?

Site information about zone isp4b.com.

Primary Nameserver: ns1.rackshack.net

Is this it? Is rackshack the host? :helpme

Yes Rackshack is the host .... [email protected] is where the complaints should go.

Thanks JFPdude , I'm on a live chat with them, if I cant solve it there I'll use the mail.

Contact the host, they'll shut it down, or else they would be sued as well for supporting such a site.

I mailed Rackshack, but I'm not really in a position to sue them.... It's not worth it :feels-hot

Wow and at one time I considered myself a hacker...

What would img src'ing a site do?

Bring it to its knees, if you have serious traffic :)

OK just so everyone is shooting form the same place ? remains with the originator of the image for a minimum of 50 years ( i believe this has or will soon be extended to 75 years) it dose not have to be registered to be ? although its advisable. Each copyright infringement is punishable by a fine of up to $150,000 per infringement ( that is not per image ) So if you find 10 images being used on a website on one page that is 1 infringement.

Since 1995 we have successful sued and won 6 cases of copyright thief both on and off the internet but its a long costly affair. You should go after the ISP if you get no joy from the webmaster of the website. Put everything in writing and get a return receipt for each letter sent, good luck

How costly? Hopefully less than the $150,000 per infringement ?

I hope you're copyrigh is on each pic.... if he sells it well call a lawyer..... as to post on a board...... and people see your copyrigh on it.. nothing wrong there. unless he took youre watermark off now thast ????????

Cindyff tks for the answer.

Angelonfire there's no watermark on the pics, that doesnt mean there's no copyright.

That's good for the States... International Copyright is different and very hard to enforce... Unless you have big bucks... :2 cents:

I fucking HATE Rackshack. The whole company is poorly run, poorly operated, and offers poor service. I would LOVE to see you slam them with a DMCA suit. I might even consider offering you one of my lawyers to hook that up if it's big enough.

You send them the DMCA and they have 24 hours to react. Do this over a weekend if possible. If they don't, then you pick a state and file in small claims court (or real court if you want). Pick your most convenient venue, and you include that they have minimum contacts wherever you are, and drag their asses to you. They may be more than willing to settle given the cost of fighting a case in your venue. Talk to a lawyer.

again i state img src

I am in Portugal, not in the US.

I am still waiting for an answer from them.

How can you be mad at people that can make this?
