It seems the post is down because of a DMCA complaint made to Cloudflare. I’m curious about the different levels of DMCA complaints. I’m sure hosting companies receive them, but what happens if I’m self-hosting and not using Cloudflare? Will my ISP or domain provider get a DMCA? Especially curious for this case.
- djfobbz 1y agoBack in 2008–2009, we had a lot of bare metal servers at SoftLayer's (Dallas, TX) facility. One of our customers ran a South American music forum, and anytime someone uploaded an MP3, the data center would honor the DMCA request and immediately stop routing traffic to the server until the issue was resolved. Now imagine what tools they might have in their arsenal in 2025.
