There’s an enormous and largely invisible campaign to use fraudulent notices under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act to remove critical articles from the internet. We don’t know who is running the campaign, but we do know it’s facilitated by Google’s amazingly trustworthy approach to DMCA complaints made by companies that don’t exist.
We own a lot of “unique” sites with dedicated markets through out the US. Two sites in two separate markets have been getting hit hard with these DMCAs. No rhyme or reason to the content being suprezsed. In fact, the content is typically a decade old, paginated taxonomy, or ridiculously spamming page paths we don’t claim.
Stakeholders receive the same notices I do and think we should care. I don’t want to waste my time with the nonsense.
I think competitor might be trying to out rank you
