How do I file a DMCA takedown request?

I have strictly stated on one of my files to not be linkt to or hosted on another site, however both sites I listed have done exaclty what I'm trying to prevent. The offending sites are skyrim.2game.com and forskyrim.com. I want these taken down because they are using my screenshots without permission and I have strictly stated that nobody but the Nexus is allowed to use any of the files. This is probably the most infuriating thing I've encountered. forskyrim.com has no ToS or Contact policy.

I've made a template https://www.dropbox.com/s/sam77p6k6fbqg8q/copyright%20infringement%20notice.docx?dl=0, just fill in your information.

 

You're better off sending the notice to those sites' host company.

 

Do note that the service provider will provide the thief with the info you provide in the DCMA, so use an email you don't care about and maybe fake your address a bit.

I'm just saying but

 

those websites act like advertisement for skyrim mods.. your mods. When I click their mod links and they just transferred me to nexusmods site.

I understand that, and I don't care. They are using my screenshots. That's what I care about. And the very fact that they violated the permissions I explicitly set also infuriates me.

Thank you.

EDIT:

How do I find the ISP of the offending sites?

You're not looking for their ISPs. You're looking for a way to contact the the site admins or a way to contact the hosts of these pages.

So you want to go to whois.com, click on the link that reads, "whois" and input the names of the sites to find all the information you need to contact someone who may be able to do something about your issue.

Edit: This probably could go without saying but search for each site separately, i.e. skyrim.2game.com, print the info then do the same for the other site.

I hope this helps.

I am not surprised to find out that the offender is Russian like me. He only lives 2 hours drive from my hometown in Russia. The domain was registered with GoDaddy. He is also the owner of several other content stealing sites. And skyrim.2game.com may be in japanese but it is based in Great Britain and run by a british man.

Glad to see you made progress on that. I hope you are able to get them to remove the content you want them to remove.

 

Cheers. :-)
