> What if the person was simply serving those files for himself over the internet (I've done it countless times) and Google caught it because the author was careless with handling DNS entries? Author here, I reached out to DO because as a fellow content creator I felt morally obligated to report this. I wouldn't like someone pirating my content and the people who created those 390,000+ PDFs put a lot of their time into making their content. > There's no harm, it does not affect your life, why go through the effort of bringing trouble to someone else because of your own lack of care with sensitive issues such as DNS entries? It does affect my life. I noticed now that there has been a couple of copyright infringement notices submit towards my domain (because of this PDF incident). When you run an online business and your website is your entire brand, something like that is a big deal. Also if you Googled for my name before I removed the A record, that SSL subdomain was coming up which was competing with my actual site's content. Not good!
