DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google

[SIG]

Hi everyone.

I have received eleven DMCA strikes today and appealed all of them.
It appears that this is happening a lot and some (probably all of) of the accounts submitting the DMCA requests are fake accounts trying to delete/remove affiliate pages from search.

Senders names are redacted
URL is redacted
I have of course appealed all of them. Anyone else had these DMCA emails? Keen to know your thoughts and appeals.

Admin, please remove the clickable URLs. I did not mean for that to happen.

Just jumped over and read your thread. This is wild. How can Google let it happen?

How can Google let it happen?

It's not an easy fix. Probably legislation needs to be changed, which could take a while.

There isn't any financial incentive for them to fix it, and they'd rather serve you AI summaries than actual search results anyway because they get four times the engagement that way.

You need to hire a solicitor to tackle this sort of online activity. My policy is simple: if someone does something like this or deliberately runs smear campaigns against our company and brands, we take legal action. We’ve already won several cases and filed claims for damages. What’s more, some of them actually get in touch with us themselves to apologise, LOL.

They are anonymous most of the time and I have neither the money or resources to tackle such A'holes.
I'm a low but quality traffic one man band. With so much fraud, non payments, dodgy affs and now this, I may throw in the towel.
I really can't be doing with extra stress.
