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."

[SLIDE]http://lulzimg.com/i16/91758e.png[/SLIDE]

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?

omg even filesonic :O

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 :P

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

 

[techdaemon]

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. :S

That sounds bad, I hope I never get it .

Filesonic is just playing safe (y) 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.

I've gotten a few e-mails like that. They're just taking precautionary steps. lol

^ have u always heeded their warnings?

 

[John.Doe]

Would be a nice move if they'd just delete the files in order to satisfy the industry.

Banning on top is their own, free and uncalled for will. I don't get it.

 

[Chaprnks]

^ have u always heeded their warnings?

Yes, I get them frequently. With all the pressure that's put on them from anti-p2p, governments, etc they're forced to make it look as if they're taking necessary steps to delete illegal files.

i dont use filesonic but it just seems like the same type of emails hotfile would give out for copyright files. just their own unique type of warning though.

 

[techdaemon]

^ this is not just a regular files-deleted-due-to-dmca email they send. they rarely send this one, and it is meant to be taken seriously.

 

[UncleSam]

i don't open them, i delete them

 

[techdaemon]

i don't open them, i delete them

are you serious? we're not talking about emails from dmca-notice@filesonic.com but from dmca@filesonic.com. The subject of the email is Copyright Infringement and not Files Deleted

Tough days ahead, it seems

The usual files deleted e-mail looks like this:

The following file(s) have been deleted due to copyright infringement :
