there are a few companies that have been discussed here that are wreaking havoc on legit sites with legitimate use to content (affiliate material, cam embeds, hell some companies even get DMCAs on their own content!)
Rulta, DMCA Piracy Protection (formerly BrandItScan), Cam Model Protection...there's a bunch of them
basically they use bots to scan for names of their clients, and auto-issue DMCAs without anyone even checking to see how the content is being used and by whom
even names completely out of context get DMCA'ed. a few months back I remember reading that
NASA got DMCA'ed by DMCA Piracy Protection cuz they were launching the Artemis 2 spaceship and the company represented a performer who used the name Artemis. you really can't make this ish up
apparently some of these DMCA companies, when contacted about flagrantly fraudulent conduct, say "hey, no problem, we'll whitelist you"
so every affiliate or studio needs to send a whole long list of companies all their sites, just to be left alone?
it's gotten really out of hand, and in a lot of cases it's the DMCA companies and NOT the performers that are at fault. with these co's, one could argue (I do), that performers who
pay for these bullshit services are getting ripped off too. costs them money and damages their reputations in the process
I don't even know how badly DMCAs are used against competitors these days, it seems to be a few companies representing performers/creators that are causing most of the damage in adult
a few major site network owners got so fed up they posted an open letter located
here
wondering if back in 2022, and currently if still an issue, who the DMCAs were/are filed by?
