Any way to be told which files have been DMCA'd?
-
I recently posted a torrent with a few files I had downloaded from a video site - some of them were 100% amateur, some were studio preview vids only (those 2.5 minute previews you can get on certain studios website for free). But within 24 hours the torrent was removed for copyright.
My question - those preview videos were from a studio that has full-length torrents on this site (and after a quick search theyre still here, available to download, in full), so I would be surprised if that was the reason for the torrent removal, but it would be useful (if at all possible) if us as users could find out which video(s) we uploaded that were asked to be removed - for all I know, one of the amateur clips I uploaded was the one that caused the takedown...
I will gladly adhere to any copyright, but its confusing when the studio whose previews I uploaded seemingly allows their full-length videos to remain on the site.
I would love to contribute more but it's difficult when I'm not sure which of my recent downloads are not allowed on here...

@gregsomeone6 "For all I know" and how the heck are you so sure since your point is precisely that we can't get details on DMCA requests?

These DMCA take-down requests are mostly from bots, they look for keywords and pictures, but they don't index the whole site, so older stuff are unlikely to get claimed. It's not impossible, but newer files are very likely to get removed in less than a week if it's from specific copyright holders. I've had a movie deleted in one day.
Long story short, expect your stuff to be deleted. Having the same video in full-lenght in the site has nothing to do with it. Amateur content doesn't mean it's copyright-free, most amateur content are posted to platforms that contractually owns the video, specially cam sites or porn sites that buy amateur content.

Short answer: No, you won't find out which file(s) caused the take-down. The site owner/administrators do not discuss this topic. The issues here are very complex, and they want to protect the site and individual members.I would love to contribute more
Please do so! That's what make the site valuable to members. You won't be penalised for posting material that's taken down in response to a DMCA request, and that kind of material is very much appreciated by other members.
