Hello. I am a camgirl and recently filed a couple Dmcas under my Real legal name as was requested by the porn site i found my videos on. Only after i signed & sent it i read the bottom detailing that my personal info like my REAL name may and might be given to the uploader! And it even stated that in replace of the removed content, my real legal name will be in place of the content. By filing the dmca it said i am giving full consent of this. I am definitely not comfortable of people finding my real name this way. Can anyone confirm if this all is true and if the uploaders will now have my real legal name to stalk and look me up? Even my addresss n ohone number... please :C

If the person disputes, it, yes, they can get your information. In the future, know that you can issue DMCA requests using your model name and a fake address (I put my state's capitol building), you are not required to give out your legal name.
 
DMCA indeed requires that the copyright holder files a complaint using the real name. The law was lobbyed heavily by the movie and music industry and of course Sony, Universal, Time Warner or whoever have no problem with revealing their name, address etc. For sex workers however this is not desired, one of the reasons why there are dmca agencies that you can give a license to to submit these requests in your name (like your platform) but not revealing your name.

Useless but interesting knowledge: Going through copyright complaints submitted to Google there are three groups of copyright holders who make up the bulk of complaints: Movie industry, music industry and camgirls. After some torrent sites the first camgirl related website is already at position 20 if i remember correctly. What "we" lack in contrast to music and movie industry is a lobby. Some of the top pirate sites for movies and music were taken down, which is not happening for cam pirate sites (there really only are two networks of sites for pirated cam material, quite surprisingly both hosted in EU).

And yet, I could submit a DMCA request as Minnie Mouse with the White House as my address, and the video would still get taken down.
 
Sure, many complying sites just have an automated process to not deal with the hassle of manually checking the validity, which just costs money to pay someone to check it. In the end, of course the majority of sites "know" it's a copyright violation regardless who the reporter is. And to be protected by the safe harbor regulations, it is even okay to host copyrighted material (youtube has tons of it), it just is required to have a functioning reporting system and the majority of sites have that. Actually all besides the stubborn two networks of pirate sites.

I've also had a video taken down before using a name other than my legal one. But legally speaking for the DMCA request to hold any legal weight, you need to either have your real name on it or file through a DMCA take down service. Most major tube sites these days will remove a video just by you emailing them and being like "yo that's my intellectual property and it needs to be taken down ASAP" and providing your cam name and a link to your model profile. But if someone were to actually open a dispute, if you used a fake name you'd have to start the process over again to actually move forward.
