How to Remove Your Content from DaftSex
DaftSex was once a major pirate video site; after a multi-million-dollar copyright judgment and domain seizures, it survives only as a rotating set of mirrors and clones. That history shapes the strategy: there is no stable site to negotiate with, so you identify whichever domain currently serves your video, strike its infrastructure, and de-index the pages so the mirrors stop mattering.
Before you start
- The exact URL of every page where your video appears, and the domain it sits on.
- Proof of ownership, the original video or the page where you first published it.
- A dedicated email address for takedown correspondence.
- A decision on anonymity, an authorized agent can file every notice so your legal name never appears.
Step 1: Document the pages and the real video source
Record each page URL with dated screenshots. Then look deeper: sites like this usually embed a player streaming from a separate video-host domain. Load the page through urlscan.io (or your browser's network tools) and note the domain the video file actually comes from, that embed host is a takedown target of its own, and often the decisive one.
Step 2: Check the current domain for a removal route
Mirror operators sometimes post a DMCA or abuse contact in the footer; many post nothing. If a contact exists on the domain serving your content, send one complete DMCA notice for the record. Do not expect a reply, and do not wait for one, the operation's history is one of evasion, not compliance.
Step 3: File with the hosting provider, CDN, and embed host
Run both the page domain and the embed/streaming domain through WHOIS and urlscan.io. File abuse reports with any CDN in front (CDN processes forward complaints and can disclose origin hosts) and full DMCA notices with each hosting provider. Given the operation's court record, providers have every reason to act quickly on valid notices. Removing the file at the embed host disables the video on every mirror page that embeds it.
Step 4: Notify the registrars
Send the registrar of each involved domain a copy of your notice and note the operation's history of adverse judgments and domain transfers. Registrars have already pulled domains from this operation before; your complaint adds current, concrete infringement to the record.
Step 5: De-index every URL from Google and Bing
Submit each page URL to Google at reportcontent.google.com and to Bing via Microsoft's copyright infringement form. Because mirrors chase search traffic above all, de-indexing hits them where they live, a mirror page nobody finds through your name is a mirror page that no longer harms you.
Step 6: Monitor for the next mirror
When one domain dies, another may appear with the same library. Search your name and video titles monthly, and keep your evidence file and notice template ready. Re-filing against a new mirror should take minutes because Steps 3-5 reuse the same playbook.
What happens after you file
Hosts and search engines generally act within days to two weeks; the mirror itself may vanish and reappear elsewhere. Track everything you file, the accumulated record makes each successive host and registrar act faster, and it documents a pattern if you ever pursue formal legal action.
Chasing mirrors is a war of attrition that favors whoever automates it. Rulta fights it for creators professionally, agent-filed notices at the host, registrar, and search-engine level, with continuous monitoring that spots new mirrors carrying your content before they gain traction.

Frequently asked questions
Is DaftSex still operating?
The original operation lost a major copyright lawsuit, had domains transferred to the plaintiff, and has gone dark more than once. What remains is a shifting set of mirror and clone domains, so every removal starts by identifying the exact domain serving your content today.
Who do I even send a DMCA notice to if the site keeps moving?
The infrastructure. Whatever the domain of the week is, it has a hosting provider, often a CDN, a registrar, and search-engine listings, all of which accept notices and none of which depend on the site cooperating.
Why do the videos play from a different domain than the page?
Sites like this typically embed players that stream from separate video-host domains. Identifying that embed host with urlscan.io and filing there is often what actually kills the video.
Does the big lawsuit against the site help me?
Indirectly. It shows courts and infrastructure providers already treat the operation as infringing, which makes hosts and registrars more receptive to your notice. Your own content still requires your own filings.
Can I stay anonymous while filing?
Notices name their sender, so victims who want privacy file through an authorized agent whose name appears instead.
