My question is, have any of you guys and gals out there that are experienced with this had any repercussions from copyright holders of the porn? for instance DMCA takedown notices, legal letters, or more?

I am interested as I am exploring the best ways of getting started in this industry and wanted to check out the basics before dipping my toes in. This is something that I could not find a clear answer on .

Hope your all having a nice Sunday or Monday whereever you are.
We provide a legit content to xHmaster, xVideos and the like. We also have a business affairs department which sends dozens of DMCA notices weekly to tubes including those I provide content to. Funny no ? But true... The rule of thumb is :

If the video is shorter then 10 min. and has a watermark of the original producer NOBODY will bother you, because it is probably legit or to short for the copyright holders to bother...On the other hand:

If the video is over 10 minutes (or to be more judicious 15 minutes ) or it has NO watermark it is likely pirated and you will get hassles from producers and rightly so...We have succeeded now 2 x for the host to dump a tube site which did not respond to our DMCAs.

The issue here is that starting with the likes of Youtube down to the smallest tubes, there should be a "running time filter", blocking long uploads (or at least moderating them). This would save a lot of hassles to both sides.

You should set up such a filter and will never get any hassles..
