GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum - firstload.net DMCA address??

Had an awful headache with these fuckers (btw their email address is [email protected])

I've sent them a first DMCA warning that they ignored ! They replied laconically that they were not responsible for the files uploaded on Usenet and that :

Quote:

The software 'Lumac' was developed and made available by firstload exclusively for end-use customers of firstload. The sole purpose of the newsreader 'Lumac' is browsing usenet for files, comparable to the operating mode of an internet search engine. The search engine itself does not have any influence whatsoever on the availability of files on the web. We hereby declare explicitly that Firstload as access provider does not have any influence whatsoever on form, content or size of Usenet and hence cannot be held accountable for the alleged existence of data/files on usenet.

"

Here's our reply, in case it can help anyone (After this second email, they removed their links immediately):

Dear [email protected],

As you did not take immediate actions to remove the links infringing our copyrights, let me be totally clear: I understand how Usenet works and that the files that are available on this network may have been uploaded by third party/newsgroups. And I agree with you on one thing: you are not accountable for the files that are available on Usenet. Nevertheless, let me remind you that it is in your interest to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable international intellectual property law (including, in the United States, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and that if you receive such a notice for infringing links subject to DMCA takedown notices that are indexed by your search engine LUMAC, you should disable access to that content and remove those links immediately.

In addition, you are sponsoring http://www.filestube.com with keywords that are explicitly referring to our copyrighted work (18closeup com, 18 close up, 18closeup jenna, 18closeup anna, emoteenpussy, emoteenpussy com, etc.), and which makes you the direct beneficiary of the sales generated from the indexation of your search engine by advertising this stolen content/copyrighted content on filestube.com as if it was your own. In other words, you are charging access to Usenet with your CCBILL client account (through your website firstload.com) to profit from this misleading advertisement. Let me remind you that this practice could lead to charges that include racketeering, conspiracy to commit copyright infringement, and money laundering.

As you are referring to your search engine LUMAC, please note that other search engines like Filestube.com or Google.com comply with the law and if you refuse to do so, we will take all appropriate actions, including sending an immediate DMCA report to your hosting company to enforce that rule or remove the offending website itself.

If you fail to comply, we will be sending a copy of this email to [email protected] to inform them that you are sponsoring their website with stolen content/copyrighted content. If you don't remove those sponsored ads to our copyrighted work immediately, they will, but they may have to renounce to your sponsoring as a whole for technical reasons.

We will also send a copy of this email to [email protected] to inform them that your account 943922 is being used to advertise stolen content/copyrighted content and that you are using their platform to charge access to Usenet for your members that allegedly infringe our copyrights. If you don't remove those sponsored ads to our copyrighted work immediately, they'll probably have to close your client account and report you to the concerned authorities.

Please remove all links, files, folders, photos, videos & articles with the name http://www.18closeup.com, 18closeup.com, 18closeup, 18 closeup, 18closeup videos, 18closeup torrent, 18closeup torrents, etc.

Best regards,
