MojoHost says NO to Tube sites

[Brad Mitchell]

Hi Everyone

Thanks for the kudos.

No, I have not been served any such serious letters from lawyers or received any more than the average of 1-2 DMCAs per month. I have great legal representation but have had no issues with copyright holders more than any host. In fact, I have always assumed based on our size that I see less of them than average.

The DMCA notices we get never rarely go beyond me. We comply quickly and always engage the clients and complaining party so that the right actions are taken.

I've always guided our client acceptance with my personal judgement. The idea here is to make sure that we don't let any serial offenders slip under the radar. I don't want to turn a blind eye and just respond to DMCAs if and when they come in. I believe as an industry pro I can easily communicate with clients and content producers - that I can easily sort out which sites have a preponderance of stolen content and kick them out.

WOW!
You mean there are actually people in our industry that believe in doing sensible, and reasonable business, without slapping their dicks on the table?
Who'd a thought?

Although I applaud Brad for this decision, it will hardly matter because there will always be some host somewhere that won't give a shit and even if Vivid prevails in their lawsuit and tube sites in the U.S. become a thing of the past, there will always be tube sites that will set up shop in other countries (Eastern Europe) where integrity and honesty are foreign notions.

We are not, nor do we intend to be, the Internet police! ;-)

We cant control what others will do, but we CAN do what we believe is the right thing!
