That's what I would have done if someone was infringing on my shit.Īnyway, As I was reading this, I also received a DM from a member of the commmunity to check out a post that was made on the site that seemed to tell of a special person that was sending out these false DMCA that seemed somehow motivated by Youtube? How sad. Now, my Sherlock Holes level of deduction tells me that if the complaint was indeed real the first time, wouldn't they have laid out the specifics the FIRST time? The only difference on this one is that not only are they specifying more specifics on the URLs being infringed but they also have reported their name and email.

#DMCA COMPLAINT UPDATE#
I will update this thread as I receive more information. So This morning, I emailed Cloudflare back for more clarification as to who the reporter was, if it's available.īut because DMCA can potentially be a VERY serious offense, i have instructed the staff to temporarily remove the affected files as a abundance of caution. Regardless of the complaint is seriousness or not, I am not going to take it lightly. However, with this complaint, they are just stated as "Anonymous" Typically, the way these DMCA notices work is that the person reporting these needs to provide some basic information as to who they are and the company/persons they are representing. The company used to actually host the site.Īs you may already know, a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice is a type of notice that is given to people when they infringe on copyrighted material whether it's pictures, files, or in our case, games.


They are essentially the middleman here so they forwarded this complaint to my actual hosting provider. Cloudflare is what the site uses for DNS and DDoS protection as well as for other optimization features.
