Any experience on people receiving DMCA and how the host reacts?
Sorry for hijacking your question, but it's a very common question & I would like to leave a comment about it here...
VSYS.host ignores most of the DMCA claims, but you could get a contrastive experience regarding different DMCA claims. It depends on many factors like:
- the number of abuses the client receives
- who is a sender of abuses
- is it an automatically generated takedown notice
- is it bogus DMCA complain
- if there is any proof of concept
- is it filled according to the local law
- if the client is reputable & what are profits from the client
- etc
Basically, we do not ignore DMCA abuses we receive, we filter out absurd & illegitimate ones & work with the rest. Usually, it's just a very small percentage of abuses that need content removal. To be completely honest here we had cases where we refused to continue hosting clients, but with DMCA cases it was definitely an agreeably tolerant process.
So there are no risks here, just go grab your hosting configuration & try it by yourself. That's the only way to find out save harbor for your particular case.
