Yesterday, Fakku filed a DMCA takedown notice against 29 open source projects. These include:>around 10 downloaders (most of which don't support fakku)>Hentoid (an app that already removed fakku support)>4 mihon extension repos>1 fakku downloader for Hentoid (link redacted in the complaint)>gallery-dl (doesn't seem to support downloading from fakku)>3 e-hentai browsers (e-hentai is compliant with fakku dmcas)>lanraragi (does have fakku support, but only for metadata)>some other stuff, most of which is unrelated to fakkuThey then go on to assert that these tools are:>primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing technological measures that effectively control access to FAKKU's copyrighted worksNone of the projects they sent takedown notices to actually host any content, they only provide access/downloads for certain websites.>The piracy sites these tools target (nhentai.net, e-hentai.org, exhentai.org, Hitomi.la, Pururin, Hentai2Read, etc.) host unauthorized copies of works that FAKKU has licensed exclusively for English-language distribution.Many of the websites mentioned do not host unauthorised copies.Nhentai may have received permission to host Fakku licensed content, there is an ongoing lawsuit about this:https://torrentfreak.com/nhentai-fights-back-in-piracy-lawsuit-rightsholder-gave-permission-241024/https://torrentfreak.com/nhentai-rejects-piracy-claims-hits-back-with-500k-damages-claim-for-fraud/https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69120958/pcr-distributing-co-v-john-does/E-hentai / exhentai has content directly uploaded by Fakku themselves (https://exhentai.org/g/839974/a467d03e45/), Fakku runs banner ads on some galleries, and:>E-Hentai has honored DMCA claims for as long as I can rememberhttps://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=240088This DMCA notice was shared by the developer of Lanraragi:https://files.catbox.moe/h2g5bl.txt (converted to .txt)https://files.catbox.moe/eiz89l.rtf (original .rtf format)
>>8849885>Nhentai may have received permission to host Fakku licensed content,>there is an ongoing lawsuit about thisWell, your last line debunk the first.
>>8849892The point is that they can't claim it's unauthorised unless they win the lawsuit, which they haven't done yet.
>>8849885>E-hentai / exhentai has content directly uploaded by Fakku themselvesare they hosting purged tags from their website in exhentai?
Nice, fraudulent DMCA notices will get REALLY expensive for them.
