Continuing Efforts to Combat Illegal Uploads and Protect Creators' Rights

Eisys Corporation’s Ongoing Initiatives Against Illegal Uploads

In an era where digital content is prevalent, illegal uploads have emerged as a pressing issue affecting creators and consumers alike. Recognizing the serious implications of this problem, Eisys Corporation, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has been working tirelessly to ensure healthy distribution of two-dimensional content and fair compensation for creators.

Our Commitment to Combatting Illegal Uploads

Since the launch of our efforts in July 2014, Eisys has implemented a multifaceted approach to combat illegal uploads. This initiative is driven by our desire to protect individual creators who may struggle to address these issues on their own. Our approach primarily includes two key strategies: acting as an agent for deletion requests and operating a monitoring system for illegal uploads.

Overall Achievements from July 2014 to December 2024

In our commitment to combating illegal uploads, we have achieved significant milestones over the years:

1. DMCA Applications to Google

- Total Applications: 4,322,704
- Applications from July to December 2024: 41,035

We submit requests to Google on behalf of rights holders to have illegal sites removed from their search engine, adhering to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

2. Requests for Deletion from Illegal Upload Sites

- Total Requests Made: 3,343,983
- Requests from July to December 2024: 62,934

We directly request the removal of content from various illegal upload websites, ensuring that copyright holders are supported in their rights.

3. Information Provided by Creators

- Total Reports Received: 235,469
- Reports from July to December 2024: 9,617

Creators using our services frequently provide us with reports and consultations about illegal uploads. We facilitate this communication through the 'DLsite' circle management page.

4. Information Provided by Users

- Total Reports Received: 8,933
- Reports from July to December 2024: 1,357

Since June 2020, we have accepted information from users via a dedicated form. Every report becomes part of the internal review process to ensure the necessary actions are taken promptly. Users can access the dedicated form on our website, though a free user account on 'DLsite' is required to submit reports.

The Importance of Confidentiality

We would like to express our gratitude to all parties who have supported Eisys in these endeavors. While the DMCA applications and deletion requests may sometimes require the disclosure of the applicant’s personal information, our role as representatives ensures that the information of creators is safeguarded from third-party access. We are particularly committed to reducing the anxiety and confusion creators face when addressing these challenging issues alone.

Preventative Measures and Future Directions

In addition to reactive measures against illegal uploads, we are increasingly focusing on understanding the motivations behind such actions to prevent them in the first place. An example of this is our initiative, 'Everyone Translates', aimed at promoting legitimate distribution channels. You can find more details on this service on our Everyone Translates page.

In closing, we reaffirm our dedication to supporting creators by continuing to enhance our efforts against illegal uploads while fostering a more sustainable and respectful content ecosystem.
