How to prevent DMCA deindex

For some reason google deindexed some of my urls from DMCA, and there is some copyrighted material but not directly on that page but page that it leads to. And it didnt deindex others. Any way to block those dmca crawlers or whatever is resposnible?

To address deindexed URLs due to DMCA complaints, you can consider blocking crawlers from accessing those specific pages by disallowing them in the robots.txt file or meta tags. However, altering this might not prevent a search engine from potentially receiving DMCA notices. It's important to ensure compliance with copyright laws and address any infringing content promptly to avoid indexing issues.

You can try blocking known DMCA bots in your robots.txt or with server rules, though it’s not guaranteed since some use regular user agents. Also consider using redirects or intermediary pages to distance the main site from flagged content. Not foolproof, but it might help reduce future takedowns.

DMCA bots are not easy to detect, because they actively try not to be. They're not going to be sending a useragent string of 'DMCAcrawler v1.44.543' or similar because that would be far to trivial to spot. If you want to rank easily DMCA-able content, do it on parasites, and funnel the traffic to your lead collecting/money sites.
