Well shit.
Added 2022-01-08 09:10:44 +0000 UTCSo. Turns out that with my VAST knowledge of how dmca thing work... I may have just doxxed myself with that website. So. That's great.
I really should have just done nothing.
Because I cannot unsend an email.
So thrilled.
edit- Okay, so I guess that to file a dmca, I would have had to give them all of my information anyway.
So. um. Still might get doxxed, but am very slightly less terrified now?
Still regretting my choices, though... almost no sleep for an 8 hour shift without breaks, thanks to the stress from this -_-;
Edit 2-
Possibly good news
I'm still talking with the people/company(?), and they seem professional enough, so...
Gonna go ahead and let my guard down a little more ^^;
Comments
Yeah... And it seems like they're willing to, at least. ... Lies and slander. Xp

2022-01-09 03:31:27 +0000 UTCYeah, I totally understand not wanting to take legal action! Though hopefully it won't get to that point anyway. Good luck, I hope the site at least cooperates with you asking to remove your content and keep it off. Hehe well you deserve to be complimented! C: You seem like a really nice person!! ^w^

2022-01-09 03:24:09 +0000 UTCHopefully court doesn't need to happen. But then again I hate to see your stuff getting stolen like that! :( Well I mean, your email address might be one thing, but if you have to share your personal address, that gets hairy real quick. But that is definitely "private" info - legally. In fact, just your real name is considered PII, or a combination of indirect info (such as a combination of gender, race, location, birth date, etc., that can be used to identify an individual). PII falls under a whoooole legal category. None of that is "public" unless you yourself put it in a public place. So absolutely something can be done about it if they do that! And I know I didn't "need" to. But I DEFINITELY feel you deserve it!! (Hence I went a bit above the tier minimum~) I freaking LOVE your art, and you really seem super cool!!! :3

2022-01-09 03:08:14 +0000 UTCThank you; you didn't need to do that, though... ^^;; And yeah; if court happens... eh... I'm just going to hope it doesn't go that far... But yeah; it looks like that's just how dmcas work :/ And... honestly I don't technically think it's "private" info; so not sure anything could be done about that. I believe it would be considered public info; it's just... where and to whom that info is posted to is the issue.

2022-01-09 03:00:34 +0000 UTCOh, and I just saw your second edit. Good that at least it sounds like they're willing to work with you a bit, though definitely make sure to document anything they say just to be safe! (Also I just upped my support for ya <3 You're really awesome and I think you definitely deserve it!!)

2022-01-09 02:43:54 +0000 UTCThat does sound odd/sucky, if you'd have to provide personal information to the offending party... ugh. Sorry to hear that didn't go so well. :\ If they're posting private info publicly they should be taken to court... Seriously, f*k people like that... x.x Lol no worries, honestly am glad you shared all that. I hope this doesn't cause you any further stress, you definitely don't need that!!

2022-01-09 02:31:09 +0000 UTCLong story short; I filed a dmca, hours later found something about the people (allegedly) doxxing artists who file dmcas with(against?) them. Freaked the hell out. Barely slept. Woke up nearly vomiting from the stress and nightmares from it. Found out right before work that I apparently filed the thing correctly, and I do actually need to send my personal information to the people using my work (which I don't understand... literally telling people stealing your stuff where you live and all that...), and calmed down enough to not have a panic attack at work. Although the possibility of being doxxed does still exist, due to how filing a dmca works. :/ ... I say "long story short", and proceed to type 2 and a half paragraphs... Xp
