We aren’t abusing it. These people featured in this non-consensual imagery haven’t signed model release forms so running ads on their content without reimbursing them is a commercial infringement.

We’re not arbitrarily sending DMCA’s to get things taken down. Our copyright holders haven’t approved of and are not benefiting from the financial gains of their stolen works.

It sounds cold to phrase it that way, but that’s how America protects its people, only as a function of money.

You’re not abusing it because it was written to be abusive. The law itself is abusive, your usage of it just illustrates its ability to be flexible enough to be used way outside its intended bounds.

I applaud your work and I stand by what I said about narrow and focused laws for protecting privacy. It’s not every day we can do something good with something bad, but I don’t know if the good that is done fully outweighs the bad that it causes, especially when better options could exist.

You are abusing it and I am making complaints right now to your payment provider and hosting. Thanks.

We have very close relationships with Trust and Privacy officers at both our payment providers and AWS. They love what we’re doing and have facilitated introductions to other organizations.
