Meaning they used my name on the DMCA notice to look me up on an online directory associated with the institution I work with. They then posted my full name and email on their website. As I understand it, personally identifiable information can be a full name which is not common (mine is not...

Over the past month I have posted a few times regarding a situation where a website posted a photo I took of myself without my consent or permission. First of all let me thank all of you for the advice and feedback you have given. After chasing the website in question through a change in...

I've run into a bit of a dilemma and I'm looking for some advice. A couple of weeks ago I sent a hosting provider a DMCA notice to take down a copyrighted picture of mine from two web pages on a website they were hosting. Within a day the infringing material had been removed. All good, except...

Thanks for all of your help on this. I sent in a DMCA Notification a week ago to the hosting company (using you're advice, other examples on the web, and following the guidelines of the hosting company) and within 12 hours my picture had been removed from the website. It actually appears that...

Thank you for your prompt reply. I want to send a takedown notice to the hosting company, but the thing that concerns me is that my personal information will be forwarded to the website in question, thus compromising my privacy and identity to these people, who I fear will do other things. Can...

I really hope I can gain some direction and insight for a problem that I thought was going to go away, but hasn’t. Hopefully I am posting this in the right place and that this forum can help me. I am an upstanding married man with a family and six months ago I engaged in an explicit chat with a...
