Is it enough to stop sharing a movie in response to a copyright complaint given to a seedbox or does the file have to be deleted as well? I removed the movie from the bittorent client, and the seedbox automated system says I’m compliant, but does the movie file also have to be deleted as well?
Edit: For further clarification, the seedbox explicitly states that the file has to be removed as well. But their automated system says I’m compliant by removing the torrent from the p2p client?
As someone already answered your question, i’m more interested in your seedbox choice. Isn’t your case (DMCAs) exactly why people get a seedbox to avoid these copyright infringement from your ISP?
Am I missing something here? I have never had a seedbox so I probably do, or this seems rather a bad seedbox in a bad country I guess?
Sorry for my ignorance if that’s the case, but it’s the first time I hear about a seedbox that states about copyright complains.
Most seedbox providers offer data center choices in the US, Asia and Europe.
OP is likely using public trackers without a VPN so a US based location is not ideal. The seedbox provider receives and forwards any copyright notices to you, and your ISP is still unaware that you have received a copyright notice.
Ohh, soo a combination of public tracker & no-vpn with a seedbox, makes sense ! I was kinda suprised & intrigued to read this kind of info on Lemmy while I never read something similar on any private tracker i’m on. (I’m not alone seeing the numbers of upvotes)
Thanks for the clarification and sorry for my minimal though process 😅
Legally they have to tell you to delete all copies you have of it, but it’s rare for companies to actually check, and they usually consider removing the torrent as sufficient. You should probably delete the file from the seedbox just in case.
