just do the dmca and sent it to them .. or find out the ISP of the Tubesite and issue a DMCA on them telling them that a website they host is stealing/distributing illegal content .. ISPS dont like this kind of thing ...

I get this alot ,, I have no attorny, i just have a DMCA template i fill in and send out to any site/company i find using my stolen content..

Just get a standard DMCA notice, get there contact email address and send it to them that way .. I genrally send a DMCA to both the website in question and the ISP that hosts the website.

Are you going to pay for her lawyer?

I know it can really, really suck when stuff like this happens but, I've found, it is best just to submit the DMCA notice quietly and let things take their course rather than go off and cause a rumpus. Not that I don't understand the sentiment but I think there are those out there who have the mindset of, 'Well, if you thought that was bad... I'll show you...'

It is terrible to see your life's work put up on a file-sharing site but IMO, if you handle it quietly, it'll be best in the long run.

Brilliance Tara, seriously, you come on here and complain about a site where you say you can see all your content for free and then try and post a direct link to it - enabling even more people to see it for free???

You act like you've never heard of DMCA or stolen content before, which I find hard to believe. Even as a one girl show, it easy to remove the content. You don't need a lawyer to do it, so I don't know where that mis-information comes from. We sent 1000's of these a day.

It's irrelevant whom the asshole is who runs that site. While it is protected under the US safe-harbour DMCA regulations, as long as he abides by the rules (by removing the content when in receipt of a valid DMCA notification) then you can't do much. Appealing to him directly will do nothing. Deal with it by doing what we do, check multiple times a day and DMCA EVERYTHING when you find it. Do some searching around and you unfortuantely cane find a lot of your content pirated elsewhere.


Send me an email stating that as the true copyright holder of the complete works of Tara-Ts.com, you authorize me as a designated DMCA agent able to report your stolen content. admin@grooby.com

If I come across stuff, I'll DMCA it but you really need to be proactive and protect your own stuff.

A: I'm not too worried about sending a few more hits to that website, if it means getting some advice and maybe getting somewhere in dealing with this problem

b: As to my knowledge of DMCA and all that -would you believe that I actually spend most of my time creating and just surviving that I have little time for anything else? Sorry, I can't physically be checking this stuff several times a day. And though I knew it was happening in small amount (i had seen stuff i did for other sites all over tube sites), I hadn't seen content from my own website in any large amounts - so I wasn't the legal authority on having the other stuff removed.

I will do all that- just that their DMCA page talked about sending stuff via snailmail. etc..

However, the more that I think about this, the more I am thinking of talking to a lawyer. Do you remember a court case a few years back where a woman was sued for millions by the record industry for mp3's?

When a small-time operation sees my videos that reach only hundreds of members on my site- now on a website where the I estimate the total amount of views at (hang on, let me add them up...) ...1,662,740 views. If I valued each viewing at $.50 then I'd still be looking at damages in the $800,000 range. And that's just from the ones from my site- not even counting stuff from other sites.

I'm really thinking about it...

Think about it.. When you send a DMCA notice, all you're doing is stopping the bleeding- you're not healing the wound. I'm starting to think that maybe sites like this need to be sued- not "threatend to be sued", but actually sued...

I do admit. I sorta flipped out and took a tantrum. But I'm far more focussed today, and really thinking of the legal options- Have any tube sites in the straight porn world ever gotten shut down? I'm starting to think we need to have a Napster moment here...

And I have to say, I'm sick of this attitude that "well, maybe you should work WITH them instead of against them"... and the whole business model that they have that "Well, we're doing illegal things, but it's okay if we get away with it, and you have to tell us what illegal videos up on our site are illegally up there"

gee.. ALL of them?
