My resource leaked?

[30nn]

Hi I google'd my resource and a website [Censored] showed up with my exact resource but anyone could download it for free without crediting me.

I don't know what I should do and 140+ people downloaded it from there already

Did the website start with the name of a color?

Thanks you, I will try and do that now.

Yes or more specifically a shade

I've had my resources leaked too, idk kinda boosted my eco that they went through that much effort lol.

Honestly yeah, initially it felt pretty good that my random website template was "desirable enough" to be leaked, then figured I was probably missing out on purchases..

They appear to be ignoring (on claims the content is not DMCA issuers property) DMCA the same as their hosting company. There is only one way to really stop them and make an example for the whole community but not many people are up for it including Mick who just collects money from content creators for advertising but when he is asked to protect the creators he is nowhere to be found. I personally hold MCM indirectly responsible since a fair share of leaks come from MCM community! And MCM anti-piracy protection doesn’t seem to be working as intended (at least from my point of view).

But on the positive side there is support in the community and I strongly believe at some point the action will be taken and their (leak site operators) ignorance and self-confidence will be their downfall. Hopefully on that day people who have done these things will start to regret their actions for a very, very long time...

I somewhat agree but what would MCM do about it? It would be difficult or near impossible to implement something to systematically stop leakers and if it was possible, it would surely have been done before. Most leakers will probably regret their actions eventually but someone else will come along and continue the leaking.

Most leak sites just ignore DMCAs and there's not to much you can do about it, unless you can 100% prove somehow (good luck) who leaked it all you can still do is get them banned for leaking resources. If your resource is being hosted on a 3rd party website that doesn't ignore DMCA requests (ie. mega, mediafire) you can file one to them to get your resource removed from their website.

You don't seem to understand what I meant, I don't talk about completely preventing content leaking, that is impossible. What I am saying is we (the community) need to make an example (of the most popular leak site probably) and show what are the consequences of redistributing and profiting of someone else's work! And I am sure it will be attempted, it's only a matter of time.

You are right then and I agree with you . I also think MCM should be at the forefront of it as they should be more involved with protecting their users' content & work.

Could you submit the DMCA to the leak website's hosting provider or does that just get forwarded to the site owner?

If it's what I'm thinking of that said website is most definitely not "random". By any means. Anyway, I believe Maximvdw has already sent multiple DMCA's without avail. Just DM the site owner and he'll remove it.

Since the resource leaked was a website template I made, I just called my own site template random not the big leaking site. Thanks for the insight though.

Ye, I've had a lot of bots leaked over time, on one website. Just DM the owner(if its the same website I'm thinking of), and he'll remove all products brought to his attention.

I believe it's already been done, so. DMCA doesn't always work, just dm the owner and he'll remove it.

Just as little bit of additional information on reporting copyright violations: https://www.mc-market.org/wiki/reporting-copyright-violations/

It would also be best to implement placeholders so we can identify the source if your resource is ever leaked in the future: https://www.mc-market.org/wiki/resource-anti-piracy-placeholders/

I'd also encourage you to open a support ticket as we'll happily investigate leaks of your resource, as we'll have more information available to match personal or purchase information to an MC-Market user. Though, without any injected placeholders, it certainly makes investigation much more challenging.

Having to go through all this effort for each leaked post will never end so I agree that something would have to be done with the higher-ups to shut down their whole website somehow. It reminds me of a similar story with patreon and yiff.party where leaks of patreon users' content was leaked and patreon couldn't do anything because they didn't own their users' content copyrights.

Thanks you! I've made a ticket.
