Yes, but only the copyright holder (or a party acting on their behalf) can report to their system.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
I can’t see any removal requests since the 5th of January, are there problems with Google? I can see that ManHub certainly have not cleaned up their act, there is currently several full length DVDs (stolen) on the front page. I don’t think ManHub/BangBros/HazeCash have any intention of cleaning up their act or ever getting rid of stolen content. They are clearly intentional cashing in on using stolen content.
It’s getting ridiculous with what they are getting away with. I would never have been able to get away with uploading and offering lots of FULL stolen DVD’s on my sites and charging a membership for it… but they do somehow. Essentially they are taking sponsors content and then selling it as their own.
Yes, which is why us affiliates can’t do anything about piracy.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Yeah I see a Raw Fuck Club on their homepage and a Drake Rock (they probably figure that’s a safe one since the site is gone). Sean Cody, Cocksure Men, UK Naked Men.
Seems like they cleaned up for a few days while we were talking about them, not they’re back at it in full force.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Just to clarify something that was mentioned a few pages back (I can’t remember who by) - it is not always up to the sponsors to get content removed, so please don’t assume they are doing nothing (although some may well be). For example a studio might be working with Porn Guardian as opposed to letting the sponsor act on their behalf - this is the case for some of our sites.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Hello from Internext! Yes, we are submitting over 10,000 links a day to google. Their batch tool, which Porn Guardian has access to, has a bug in it. We are working with them to find a workaround. You should begin to see our submissions increase as soon as the workaround is implemented. Probably 3 or 4 days.
Meanwhile, LeaseWeb is here and I’m planning on being very vocal during their session. I have lots of stats I’m eager to share with the audience.

Nothing new on the Google submissions? Still nothing since the 5 Jan.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
I would also just like to add, they also own http://www.pinktube.com/ (although its not really relevant to the gay side, it shows how widespread the issue is)
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Not sure why, I’ve submitted 3 recently, we found 3 full DVDs ripped on Manhub (120 minute long videos).
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
They also own http://www.freegayporn.com/ - I got a lot of requests from the media buyer who wants to purchase links to that site and the mobile version.
I believe most (if not all) videos come from ManHub.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
There aren’t any new removal requests since the 5th of January… and ManHub’s front page is full of stolen videos
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
We’ve been submitting 10,000 links a day. Not just manhub, of course, but they are in there.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
Any idea why nothing is showing up? Google not doing their part?
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
I don’t know. I have emailed them twice to ask why our report isn’t showing anything since Jan 7. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
ok, google just got back to me. They had a bug in their transparency report that they have now fixed.
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
They now seem to have vanished completely? When i hit the link i get 404, not found?
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
I get…
‘‘404. Thatâs an error.
The requested URL was not found on this server. Thatâs all we know.’’

I got that as well, but the page comes up after reloading a couple of times. Seems to have been updated now, less URLs or videos that I would have expected though. Still, well done Dominic for getting it working by bulk!
Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
I do wonder if it’s affecting their SEO ranking? I seem to recall them on top of the first page for ‘gay porn tube’ and now they are coming up a ways down on the 2nd page. Going from the first to the second page in Google would make a pretty big dent in their traffic.
