Are Your Videos Being Posted By Others?
Just for the hell of it, I ran a search on xvideos, using the keyword "bootycruise". I found 3 of my videos there, being used to advertise pay sites (!). I've been on the 'Net for years, & have learned a thing or 3. My repetitive use of that word in my titles has 2 benefits: if someone likes a video of mine, they can search using the keyword "bootycruise" & turn up most of my videos here.
Also, if someone rips off my videos & is too stupid to change the title, I can find them whenever I'm in a vindictive mood :)
According to copyright law, you hold what's called a Poor Man's Copyright, or Creative Copyright, on any work of art you create. It's granted at the time of creation; you don't need to apply for one.
There's this thing called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Under this act, any holder of a copyright can file a DMCA takedown request with any website that's hosting infringing material. I did that with xvideos, giving them the URL's of the infringing material on their site, & the URL's of my original videos here on XHam. Within a half hour, they disabled the videos until they "heard from the uploader". 2 of them are now permanently deleted, & there's every reason to expect that the 3rd one will be, too.
The site made it easy, furnishing a form that guides you through the process. You'll have to give some personal info, but it's so damn satisfying to be able to smack the fuckers who do that kind of stuff!
It also goes a long way toward showing how unnecessary that obnoxious scrolling logo on videos uploaded here really is.
