Hello everyone!
My name's Kay and I'll be launching a service at the start of next year where I will look for and take down all your stolen and recorded content on the internet.
Recently I asked a model who's room I frequent if I could do some DMCA take down request for her. I had noticed a lot of her content got recorded and posted online, and I wanted to help out. I had always been curious about how these things worked, how much work goes in and who does and doesn't follow the rules. I learned a lot and in the end had over 400 videos and 300 pictures removed from various sites, along with over 150 search results pruned from google and bing.
After a short email exchange she said this service was of great value to her, and considering I enjoyed doing the work and me currently being unemployed, I realized I could start offering this as a paid service to others. So here I am to share my thoughts and ask for your opinions!
My thoughts are as follows:
I will offer a monthly paid plan - I will find your content online, monitor it and send out notices and have any content violating your copyright removed from search engines.
I will also offer long-term discounted plans.
My (company) name will be on all notices and I will send a detailed report at the end of the paid month along with the option to renew. Reports will be monthly if you're using a long-term plan.
So what will it cost?
After looking around the web for similar services and asking the aforementioned model I regular I have come to think that $60 a month would be a fair price, with long term plans going to $55-$50 a month. I realize that this is still quite expensive for some - but constant year-round monitoring isn't required for most.
Will ALL stolen content be removed?
No. I wish this wasn't the case, but there are a few websites around (that I will not name but I'm sure you know) that are registered in places like Panama and the Cayman Island that do not comply with any copyright law. As of right now nothing can be done about them. Google however does a very good job of removing links to these sites from their search engine when sent a notice. I haven't run into a big tube site yet that has ignored any DMCA claims.
First and foremost I will stand for service. In any business I purchase goods and services from, their service is what keeps me coming back and I will strive to do the same.
Questions? Suggestions? Any feedback is very much appreciated!
Sincerely,
Kay
