Your hosting service may be subject to legal action for non compliance of DMCA-CASE#257510
2021-02-12

To whom it may concern,

DMCA.com recently sent a notice of takedown request for DMCA-CASE#257510 for Adam Kovic [full legal name] to which we have not seen compliance in the removal of content. The content, referred to in these DMCA Takedown notices, remains published.

This means your website hosting company may be exposed to legal action.

Your webhost or ISP has legal protection under the DMCA Act, the website owner does not.
Under the copyright laws of the United States, Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “Act”), your ISP or Website Hosting Company is provided statutory immunity ("safe-harbor") for the hosting of infringing content ONLY IF THE CONTENT IS REMOVED IMMEDIATELY when they are presented a DMCA Takedown Notice.

We confirm, under penalty of perjury, that we have been authorized by the copyright owner, Adam Kovic, to act on its behalf. As such we have followed all actions prescribed within the Act and required in the DMCA Takedown Process.

You have failed to respond or comply with our DMCA Takedown Notices (attached) that were originally sent to you or your ISP / Webhosting company.

Unless you comply with the takedown notice and reply to confirm within 24 hours or one business day, we will be compelled to advise our client of your failure to comply with the takedown notice and the subsequent loss of your ISP / Webhosting company's statutory immunity for the publication of infringement content under the DMCA Act. This would mean our client would be free to proceed legally and prosecute under law, regarding the illegal publication of their content.

If you change your mind and will remove the content referred to in the case attached please reply to this email immediately so we can update our client as to your actions.



Note: Often there is confusion regarding the counter claim process as prescribed in the ACT and the initial takedown request. Your client cannot initiate a counter claim as per the DMCA Act UNTIL the content has been removed. A counter claim or claim of legitimate ownership cannot block the content being removed for the stipulated length of time with the Act.

Matthew Carson.

You submitted this complaint to Google before and received my authoritative answer regarding this matter in response to that.

Adam Kovic's alleged intellectual property is being used fairly for the purposes of fair use and ridicule. Adam Kovic, a public figure, sent these images to what he believed to be fans of his show while cheating on his wife. To adequately discuss this event, it is permissible and indeed necessary for the images sent to be a part of the conversation and present in the discussion chain.

I am my own host. I am my own service provider. When you send complaints to third parties like Cloudflare, they go to me. I understand that Adam Kovic has been hurt by the consequences of his actions and would like to 'move past' this (which is something his wife will never be able to do with what he has inflicted on her), but my forum is a safe place for discussing people like Adam Kovic.

You may tell your client, who thinks throwing a Canadian firm exploiting American law to censor the Internet, that whatever pittance he's paying you will not enable him to become the first person to censor my website's content after 7 years, and that his next step would have to be a real lawyer actually within the United States. He should also research the Streisand Effect and consider what my options are as the owner and operator of a website that receives a billion HTTP requests a month, and which is specifically about Internet drama.

I believe the content in question is used fairly for the purposes of criticism and ridicule.

The above is believed to be true in good faith and I sign under penalty of perjury.

Kind regards,

Damn. You slapped his ass

 

[Furret]

Has any come in under his wife's name?

The pictures are of Kovic exclusively, so I don't think they could file anything under his wife's name if they tried, but I know almost nothing about law so someone else can feel free to correct me here.

 

[Mage]

What's posted on the Internet, stays on the Internet.

Adam should've known better than to send pics of his dick to strangers.

 

[Banworld]

Nulls next grift should be publishing these emails in a book, some of these threads are better than some of the actual lolcows on this site.

 

[FierceBrosnan]

Oh no a threatening email template from an official sounding "dot com", whatever shall we do?! God Kovic is such a bitch boy parasite.

 

[AnOminous]

REEEEE I sent pictures of my dick to strangers and now strangers have pictures of my dick!

 

[MightyBiteySnake]

Null you sick bastard, how could you do this Adam Kovic? How could you both send the requests for the nudes to his snap and hack his snap to send the nudes and put this man's marriage in jeopardy?

 

[AmHole]

What's posted on the Internet, stays on the Internet.

Adam should've known better than to
send pics of his dick him riding a dildo to strangers.

Fixed that for ya, mate.

 

[Cilleystring]
