Reputation Agencies ‘STILL’ Endangering Clients

Ever seen this notice at the bottom of your Google Search Page –

What is it exactly, and what does it mean? “DMCA” stands for “Digital Millennium Copyright Act,” and a DMCA takedown notice is a notification to a website or search engine that they are either linking to or hosting material that infringes on a copyright.

For years, Reputation agencies with little or no knowledge, or ethics, put their clients under a lot of risk by sending fake copyright takedown notices against legitimate websites in order to scam Google into removing specific links from search results.

Webactivism has over the years exposed hundreds of such attempts, which has resulted in many Reputation Agencies shutting down their operations, or being sued. The practice of fake DMCAs has been largely mitigated, but for some stupid agencies who still put their clients at the risk of being sued over these fake claims, which might also invite perjury and fraud charges.

Here are some of the latest fake DMCA cases we’ve published. There are hundreds more to follow.
