And now.... yet another Image Host Ignoring DMCA
 

vavvi

I've sent two properly worded DMCA notices to them, both of which bounced. I've also written to their host worldstream in Holland without effect.

Any suggestions?

Add at the top of your take down notice or e mail subject: " intent to file a law suit"... Works for me. It will work for you if your claim is legit:2 cents:

Problem is they never see whatever words are written because all of the Emails bounce.

Do a WHOIS on the domain name, and send to the e-mail addresses in the WHOIS. All of the e-mail addresses for the site, and the Registrar (usually abuse@...).

If the mail to the site admin bounces, send a new e-mail to the Registrar (e.g. GoDaddy, enom, usually abuse@...). The Registrar is one of them that you originally sent to, in the same WHOIS report.

Registrars are obligated to know who their Domain customers are. I report bounces in a second e-mail, to ALL the remaining. Each is a customer of the others, and they all are on the hot seat.



I also usually do a WHOIS on the "NS.whatever.com", the nameserver, and find their e-mail address as well. The WHOIS should be done on the shortest path, so WHOIS on "whatever.com" not the full "ns.whatever.com". But you can try, and compare results of short and full path.

The DMCA I send is to everyone on the first try, all in the "To:" field, not "Cc:".


I did about 6 Friday night, and got action on most of them by Saturday.

When successful, go back to Google where you found the result listing linking to your content, and file for a removal https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals?pli=1 From your Google webmasters account.

Actually I have found that the best option when an email to an admin email address listing in the WHOIS bounces is to file a Whois Inaccruacy Report (most extensions). This will force the Registrar to take action...

You have some good suggestions from folks above...:thumbsup

Thanks to all above. I've begun the above recommended processes :thumbsup

Since Worldstream is in the Netherlands DMCA laws do not apply there, try following Dutch Notice and Takedown Procedure and sending the proper takedown notice to [email protected]

Are there any examples of properly worded Dutch takedown notices (in English) on the web? I've googled around a bit but I have yet to find one.

It would seem that no such animal exists, eh?

Perhaps our predecessors should have let Hitler keep Holland :1orglaugh

There is Dutch take down notice equivalent.

Thanks!

I have a new one that I'm dealing with now :(

In this case, there's no contact info whatsoever on the website. So I did a WHOIS and then sent DMCAs to the posted yahoo Email address. Not surprisingly, those Emails were simply ignored.

Cloudflare then directed me to the supposed actual host..... who, upon being contacted, promptly denied being the current host.

Checkmate?
