DMCA Counter Notice Fraud – Someone Pretending to Be Stripchat Staff

[NIHARIKAbby]

Hi everyone,


I recently filed DMCA takedown requests to Google to remove links of my stolen content (recorded from my Stripchat shows) that were being indexed on piracy sites.


Most takedowns went through successfully. However, I received a counter-notice only for the official Stripchat.com links that I had included in the Google deindexing request (to remove thumbnails/photos showing from those links).


The counter-notice was submitted by someone named Ahmet Teke (email: legal@rulta.com), who claims to be the "General Manager" and is using an Estonia address. He stated the content is either his or used with proper authorization, and requested the links be reinstated on Google.


To be clear: I am the model and the rightful content owner. I never gave anyone permission to claim my work or represent me.


I’ve reached out to Stripchat support, and they advised me to submit a DMCA via their in-site reporting tool. But they didn’t answer whether this Ahmet person is affiliated with them.


I’m now stuck in this weird situation where a third party is falsely claiming my Stripchat content, and Google says I need to provide court documentation or file with a dispute resolution provider to stop reinstatement.


Has anyone faced this before?
What’s the best way to handle a fraudulent DMCA counter-notice on Google involving cam site content?


Any help or guidance would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

....what? you tried to DMCA content off of a stripchat URL!? Of course they have the right to show your content you give them permission when you upload there. If you take off the content it will eventually disappear off google photos, what content is it exactly? Stuff on your bio? Albums?

DMCA is not the route to take in this scenario.

They must not have understood the request or something, it would be strange for stripchat to suggest filing DMCA against their own site as receiving many uncontested DMCA reports has a negative impact on SEO. As far as I know the only way is to remove the content off your bio and wait a while for it to disappear off google.

There are routes a person can normally take to remove nudity of themselves on Google but I'm 90% sure it won't work in this scenario since you uploaded yourself and are profiting from it.

While it's strange that google indexed those files stripchat and rulta are right
With sending a DMCA to google you claim that those links are illegal and because of that you don't want them to be indexed.
But the links are legal , you uploaded them yourself to stripchat
and you can also remove them yourself ....

Exactly i uploaded then on stripchat(not on google)
I don’t want my photos showing on google images. I didn’t uploaded images on google or any third party website or even asked stripchat to show my photos publicly in google images

If you don't want your photos shown in a search on Google YOU will have to remove them from your stripchat page:

DMCA contacts those that upload content you ask to be removed, Google have not uploaded your photos to 'google.com' it is still on stripchat.com. As long as it exist on Stripchat it will show up in searches on Google, or every other search engine.

Basically by using DMCA you are asking DMCA to ask Stripchat to remove YOUR content from Stripchat.

I’ve already removed all public content from my Stripchat profile, but my photos still show up on Google. Even after a DMCA takedown, they appear with a VPN. Stripchat should offer better control to prevent this.

 

[NIHARIKAbby]

Got it. My videos are private on Stripchat, but my photos are public — and I’ve now removed them. I filed the DMCA to get Google to de-index those images faster, since Stripchat doesn’t block them from being crawled while they’re public.

It is still not DMCA you should use, you should use Googles removal tools

 

[NIHARIKAbby]

You're right — I didn’t file a DMCA. I used Google’s removal tool to deindex my Stripchat profile and image links from search results. My goal was just to clean up what shows on Google, not to take down anything from Stripchat itself

Remove an image from Google Search results
