It takes a lot of hard work to be a number one pornography channel, especially when the competition is tough. There is no shortcut to it, and it is better not to follow any such stage. In case you do, you might end up where YesPornPlease.com is right now. This channel is getting sued by the marketing giant MindGeek for copyright infringement.
It is true that this YesPornPlease.com was always a number one spot for the USA viewers, but for a short period of time. This company had over millions of hits on a monthly basis but they did not get to enjoy its success for a long time. It was not long when MindGeek find out that YesPornPlease.com was using its contents without any license or permission.
Upon finding the mistake that YesPornPlease.com did through its sister company VShare.io, MindGeek was sane enough to warn this site to take down the contents. There were repeated warnings from MindGeek, which YesPornPlease.com gladly ignored. As a result, MindGeek had no other option but to take legal step. So, this YesPornPlease.com site is out of business right now because of the whopping $462M as a sued money.
The other demands as made:
The subpoena from MindGeek has demanded security and DDoS platform Cloudfare to handover some of the key information of YesPornPlease.com and VShare.IO. The information includes everything from the operators’ and owners’ phone number, physical address, names, user histories, IP addresses, posting histories and more.
Right now, MG Premium has currently filed full-blown lawsuit in the Washington Court. It stated that the conduct, which gave rise to lawsuit, is willful and egregious. Defendants get to operate and own websites, which are currently engaged in business of copying and distributing some of the infringing based audiovisual works, under the current guise of acting as distributor of such user generated content.
Defendants are directly and quite knowingly getting involved in the trafficking business of thousands of pirated contents, which will include thousands of works from the house of MG Premium. On the other hand, these defendants are not even service providers. They are not at all engaged in content storage at direction of users. So, they are not at all entitled to any of the current safe-harbors, which are afforded under Section 512 of Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
MindGeek has claim that YesPornPlease infringed more than 3000 of its work. So, this punishment was inevitable. Get along with the best porn sites on the other hand.
