Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well today. I wanted to ask something that’s been bugging me for a while. I recently found out that some of my paid videos ended up on random sites that I’ve never even heard of. They’re getting indexed by search engines too, so people run into the stolen versions before my original ones. Has anyone here dealt with this before? How do you even start getting that stuff removed without spending weeks chasing every link?

Hi there, glad you brought this up — it’s a really common headache these days, especially for creators. If you want something practical that actually works, I’d really encourage you to check out Takedown.co, because they help creators handle situations exactly like this and can even help you report a google copyright violation when needed. They specialize in finding leaked content, especially videos, and they remove it across all kinds of platforms — tube sites, forums, torrents, social media, you name it. I used them a while back when my own material started showing up on those sketchy mirror sites. What I really appreciated is that their system scans the web nonstop, so you don’t have to hunt things down manually. Once something pops up, they send automated DMCA requests or escalate it if the platform ignores the first notice. And judging from how quickly my links disappeared, their “Google Trusted” badge isn’t just for show.
