DMCA Complaints: What do you do with them?

[nidzabg]

So, I think this is the thread a lot of people would like to see.

Post your experiences with DMCA complaints. What do you do when you recieve one? How many have you recieved? And also, include the location you're hosted at.

--EDIT--
if you think this should be in the 'legal issues' of the forum, please move it there and when mods read this edit, please delete it, thanks

I think this has been discussed plenty of times.. whats wrong with deleting them? no biggie.

[nidzabg]

Yeah, but I don't think it has been generally. Well it might be a biggy depending on which country you're in, so I wanna hear everyones experiences..

I'm saying removing them is no biggie. In my opinion everyone should follow DMCA notices it doesnt matter if your remove the topic from your page a few days later there will like 50 of the same more topics

i check how the page is ranked in search engines and visitor amount to that page, if its very low then i can remove, but if its high then i do nothing unless theyr lawyer sends a notice.

And of course i try looking if its fake! as competitor sites like to send these to get theyr page higher, i do that too and it works good

Just delete them and move on. Simple

Not if your site is a blog.

I ignore them usually. I cba to remove a single post from my site.

I don't get them directly. I need to take care of that, of course. My datacenter forwards them to me and gives me anywhere between 24-72 hours before they block my IP. I usually get them resolved in 1-2 hours, though.

What do I do? Since I run an image host, I simply take down the requested images. No harm done.

How many do I get? About 2-3 a day. It used to be 2-3 a month, but recently it's been 2-3 every day.

As lifetalk stated. We get a 3 days to solve it out. We void the DMCA's by changing the sites IP. As the only threat from the DC is an IP nulling.

Oh and one more tip, read it properly, it may be someone else and not a official DMCA.
