Abusive Affiliate Site Predatory DMCA Takedown - Let's REPORT!
I'm always on a mission for shady affiliate marketers.
If you are on MFC and Chaturbate, I have no doubts you have a video on here.
What's the URL? Message me for details.
The Issue: This affiliate phishes for models personal identification in return for a "possible" takedown. I went onto their live chatroom today and casually asked about the email provided for DMCA Takedown and whether or not it was valid. Pretty innocent right?
What I received back was an unbelievable amount of immaturity. I've included screenshots of the admins telling me to identify myself so they can jack off to me some more. The admin admitting that he just WANTS models to send me photos, but he has over 1500 so he doesn't even care for more of them. He doesn't remove content in exchange for fan signs, even if the site policies in the footer state that.
WHAT TO DO:
I just submitted 2 abuse forms to the host of the website.
1. DMCA Takedown of my stolen content
2. Phishing report for the collection of models identification. - this is a total manipulation of the DMCA Takedown in my opinion. Preying on the desperation of models who need their content taken down. They think, "OK, all I need to do is send this guy a photo?" NO. This is so predatory. WHen i went into that chat, it was apparent there were just hoards of trolls trying to get content anyway possible. Do not show your face and identify yourselves to these internet predators.
WHERE TO REPORT:
Models, if you want to collectivize against this site and down to fill out 2 abuse reports.
1. for your direct links to infringing content
2. Phishing and Malware
Where To Report: https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/
Contact me for link to site.
Enclosed are the screenshots of my convo with the admins. I just want to let models know to NEVER disclose your identity to any third party site because these are the types of people who run them.
If we can get multiple reports to the host, I hope it will make a bigger impact. Let me know. Thanks and good luck.Attachment 45371Attachment 45372Attachment 45373

I've been doing research and if an entire site is illegal, the host will possibly shut down the site or issue a warning.
The more models who report abuse to this host and this site could bring awareness to this shady arrogant bastard of an affiliate marketer.
Contact me if you are down to report.

There's a lot of hosts that simply don't care. The best you can do is file a complaint with Google and have them sink their search ratings. The issue comes from content ownership...so far as I know, you do not own your Chaturbate or MFC streams legally, so you have no legal grounds which to do a takedown by any means. Some sites comply nicely, but they are technically free to ignore you completely.

I've also realized sites that are hosted not in the USA are not bound by DMCA at all.
Thanks Katy.
I was confused about the Google report. I just filed one for hiding the link and websites in question. But, is there a more useful report that tanks their ratings as you just mentioned? Please let me know.

Chaturbate just emailed me back regarding ownership of content:
It is important to note that, since Chaturbate does not claim an ownership interest in your content (which is 100% your own property, as the creating broadcaster), we do not have any claim that we can assert against these sites. We’ve added this service as a courtesy to our broadcasters to assist them in enforcing their rights in the content they produce on the site.
Despite our take down demands submitted under the Copyright Act, the content appearing there is still available after more than 30 days. We will now attempt to escalate our take down demands where possible, but unfortunately there has been no response. Please give us an additional 30 days for a response. To monitor this site is out of our control, but we will always be happy to help in any way we can. Thank you.

So models fully own their CB content and are responsible for their own takedowns. This is good and bad news...basically it means CB has no obligation to protect their own streams, but it also means models can enforce their own stream protection at their own time and expense.
