This has to be a joke. Yes. If you are every sandboxed under DMCA, chilling effects, there is a form you fill out and fax to Google legal. You remove whatever was the issue, and you are reindexed.
no, it wasn't a joke, thanks for the info does this also protect someone if they want to put up a video or music streaming site and steal all the video and mp3's too? I've seen alot of those sites with a bunch of the same anime movies on them, and always wondered how they take the chance of putting all those videos on their sites
If you treat it like a business, and set it up correctly with an LLC, and business bank account. If they get sued, they lose the money in that business account, plus your computer, HD's and anything associated with that business. That is why it's important to have multiple LLC's and bank accounts for your high risk, and low risk. Just for such occasions. Most of it will end with a simple request for you to remove what they want removed. You remove it, and that's the end of it. If you fight them, like Perez Hilton claiming 'fair use', then you have issues like he did.
Working in the entertainment industry and actually running a PR and marketing firm what we have done in the past in these situations is first ask for it to be removed and at the same time we contact their IP provider and give them the information that we warned the website to take down the photo etc to make record of it so if they keep doing illegal things they will be shut down. But to be honest most of the time unless it is a high profile or high traffic website we don't waste our time dealing with it. Anymore once something gets out there you are better off to just let it go and downplay it so many PR firms just keep quiet and spin the press.
To the guy who made this tread, Just ask the guy who owns celebslam.com. He got into the game late and is doing very well with his celebrity site. It was his first made-for-income site too. There are a lot of celebrity websites out there, that is true, but celebrities get so much insane search engine traffic that there is enough to go around. So go get in contact with someone who actually started one like the celebslam owner and he will tell you more. He's a DP member as well but I don't know if he still posts here.
yeah celeb websites are more of a hobby than a business. Wouldn't expect to make a lot of money off them
wat if we own an offshore site? i dont think that they will bother to sue everyone around the world, coz we are not the only ones using the photo
If you run a celebrity blog I think that dating sites might be the thing to promote on it. They have wide appeal particularly among young people, who would be drawn to celeb-oriented stuff. Also, re legal stuff: It's very unlikely you'd be sued. They do it for the money more than anything. Just a thought on lawsuits generally: Opinions are generally safe. But if you make salacious claims -- that is "break" a story rather than just write about one -- then you should be careful.
It is not profitable if you want to make the money by adsense because the CPC is low . There is a way to make $200 at least from flipping them ONLY .
Worst advice ever, and definitely a noob. Anyone with some internet experience in online business, and eyeballs, know differently. Stay clear from anyone making broad sweeping generalizations. They are either a noob, or clueless. In either regard, seek out those who work in the niche.
