Since a few days ago, CipSoft (cipsoft or some desesperated adm) has been stalking me, reporting my contents (web/game) to the DMCA copyright infringement.
I've changed hosts about x3 times and now I decided to camouflage the IP, they insist, now they reported to Cloudflare for me to remove the site/game.
The contact is true (it really is from cipsoft, I just won't write their real email here).
OVH:
"Below please find a notice of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) identifying an allegedly infringing work located on your servers. Please remove the copyrighted work within forty-hour (48) hours of receipt of this notice. Following removal, please reply to this email with a statement saying the work has been removed. Failure to remove the work in response to this notice may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account. This notice counts as a strike under OVH US’s repeat infringer policy. If a user of your site, rather than you, is responsible for the infringing material, please remove the material and note that fact in your response and OVH US will provide you with information regarding how you may remove this strike from your account."

I have been working with otserver for over 6 years, this is the first time I have faced this kind of problem, and even trying to dodge it, they keep stalking me lol
What do you think will happen? It's been hard to dodge them but I'll keep trying and the next might be you. Give your opinion
