I also received the famed FileSonic DMCA e-mail

[techdaemon]

So this morning when I woke up first thing I did was to check my inbox. I received this famed email "FileSonic DMCA."



I know it is the same email the user masalalover2010 received before his filesonic account got disabled. I know he/she ignored the email and uploaded again the files which were infringed on. But I did not ignore the email. I immediately deleted all my remaining copies of the files whose copyright they claim to be infringed and will never upload them again.

Should I still be worried?

By the way how does this email differ from the regular "Files Deleted" email? Is there no DMCA complaint involved in the latter, just Filesonic's sole discretion to delete a file for thinking it is a copyrighted material?

I guess no you don't have to worry as long as you obey to what they warn you about.

imma take screens of my stats and unpaid balance now, to prepare just in case. lol.

am i the second person to make it known here that he received such email from Filesonic?

if you have a dynamic IP just stop using that account and make a new one

Or risk loosing your earnings from uploaded files in that account.

making a new account means new payment info (another paypal or alertpay or webmoney account).

I also got one, last week, for a movie I uploaded. But yeah, I don't make much money out of it so no huge deal for me.

It is something to keep in mind though. I personally prefer FileServe because they are much faster, both down-, and uploading from my US VPS.

That sounds bad, I hope I never get it .

Filesonic is just playing safe Nice move for them

I received "Files Deleted" letters from FileSonic everyday.
But never receive this kind of mail.
I think the "Files Deleted" might be deleting files by filenames filter.
And the letter you received looks like directly point to you.
