Massive DMCA Abuse from “DMCA Piracy Prevention Inc” – Anyone Else Targeted?
 
Hi everyone,

I run a small adult website (https://www.mypornstarbook.net) that’s been under attack since June 25th, 2025, by an entity called DMCA Piracy Prevention Inc. They’ve submitted hundreds of DMCA takedown notices to Google targeting thousands of my URLs – mostly legal static galleries and profiles of performers.
Most of the claims are completely false or vague (no specific copyrighted work listed). I’ve submitted counter-notices for every single takedown, but it’s a slow and exhausting process.

So far:

Over 1200 URLs removed from Google in just one week

All from the same complainant

Identical format in all notices (same language, pattern, timestamps)

My traffic is dropping rapidly despite legal content and timely counter-notices

Has anyone here been hit by the same company or tactic?

I’d really appreciate:

Any info about who might be behind DMCA Piracy Prevention Inc

Suggestions on how to escalate (EFF, Google legal contact, etc.)

Whether this kind of spam attack tends to stop or just drag on

Thanks in advance.
Reno

Yep. Sent dmca for site using sponsor's own API feeds. Site hosts zero images itself and pulls everything from sponsor.

Thanks for the reply.

Can I ask how long the attack lasted in your case? Did you manage to stop it somehow, or did it just burn out over time?

Also, did they come back and do it again later?

Curious how it turned out for you.

Its the same people as BranditScan.

You can find their information here: https://www.registreentreprises.gouv...ts/AfficherNeq

Branditscan: https://www.registreentreprises.gouv...ts/AfficherNeq

When you lookup who the beneficial owners are, there is a lot of overlap with people who are related to ManyVids. I'm not saying they are involved, but there are a lot of connections.

Thanks, appreciate your reply. I'm also countering every takedown they send — sometimes over 100 URLs per day. They mostly target gallery pages, even though they contain only legal screenshots and official links.

Can I ask — how long did the attack last in your case? Did it eventually stop, or did they keep coming back?

Did Google restore your URLs after you submitted counter notices?

Would be great if you could share more about your experience.

Yes they did. These people never reply to counter dmca. In my experience 90% of it is bot generated over content they don't own or they gave it out as promo. DDF Busty is dmcaing me right now over an image the model shot for her own personal site. She also did shots for Scores.. So I would imagine they are sending dmca to them as well.

Contact them directly and get whitelisted.

Thanks for the info — sounds very familiar.

Do you remember how long the DMCA attack lasted in your case?
Was it just a few days, weeks, or did it go on for months?

I did contact them directly — they replied and said they would stop.
But the takedown notices are still coming every day.

Dude they hit everyone, and half the notices were for Onlyfans models that weren't the so called material they claimed.

Yeah, I’ve received fake DMCA notices in the past too — but this is something completely different.

This attack is brutal. Since June 25th, I’ve been getting up to 70 takedown notices per day, and some of them include over 200 URLs. And it’s happening every single day without pause.

Some are saying it's a black hat operation for onlyfans models.

Reno78 07-02-2025 12:58 PM

That’s possible — I’ve also heard it might be a black hat campaign for OnlyFans models.
But what I really need to know is: how do you defend against this?

Is submitting counter notices the only option, or is there anything else that can be done?

And for anyone who’s experienced this kind of attack — I mean at this level of intensity (dozens of notices per day, hundreds of URLs) — how long did it last?

LouiseLloyd 07-02-2025 01:13 PM

Absolute shit houses!

Been hit with thousands.

Anyone any info on the company, country of jurisdiction and owner?

Time to take civil action again these fraudsters

No idea, I had 6 different paysite owners CCed on these false claims and even they cant stop it.

I had one send a very long letter saying I had full permission since like 2012 to promote their content and the model has no right to claim she owns it.. then DMCA Piracy Prevention sent another 15 DMCA's for the same company content the very next day.

I totally understand how you feel — I'm going through something very similar right now. I'm getting hit with dozens of takedown notices every day since June 25, and it doesn't seem to stop.

How long did your attack last?

From what I found, the company behind this — DMCA Piracy Prevention Inc. — is based in Canada. So if anyone wants to take legal action, it would probably require someone from the US or Canada to get involved.

If more of us are affected, maybe we could team up and actually stand a chance.

What are the URLs of the companies filing this crap?
I'm going to write a fully automated Python script that scrapes their galleries and site URLs, then sends DMCA notices to search engines in accordance with Afghan laws and Taliban DMCA policies.
Let’s see if they like that.

They are pretty easy to find.

DMCA Privacy Prevention is also BranditScan. They are based out of Montreal, Canada. I posted their info earlier:

Just enter "DMCA Piracy" and "BranditScan" into the search boxes for more info.

If you look at the beneficial owners, its the same group of people and always includes: "Jean-Noël Sciretta". When you Google his name, "Gino Sciretta" comes up as the results. He claimes to be the CEO of Branditscan and Ex-Founder of ManyVids.

It's all there in the public records if you look it up.

I have about fifty websites, I get thousands of them every day, I don't even remember when it started, almost all of them are search URLs that say "sorry we didn't find any results".

That idiot Google accepts them all, when I tried to contact them they asked me for more information.

https://i.ibb.co/R4kDZPxM/Screenshot...3-22-55-31.png

My sites are of various nature, galleries, videos, with only text, with content from affiliate programs, or from social networks like Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit (they send me DMCAs anyway).

I also get a lot of DMCA requests via email from alleged law firms, copyright companies, etc., I always remove everything, then onlyfans models, manvids, etc. contact me, pissed off with me because I removed their content from my sites and from Google.

DMCA is just a tool to destroy the competition, unfortunately the only idiot who still doesn't seem to understand it, and who doesn't care, is Google.

Can I ask how you contacted Google? Did a live person respond to you?

I do have a list of removed URLs, numbers of any counter notifications, etc. It clearly shows that this is a targeted attack and abuse of the service. I could send that to Google as evidence. But I don't know how to contact them.

If you know how to contact Google, that would be very helpful.
