We have a video production website and make very low budget films which we sell via our online store, in the 13 years of business we have never had a problem with net piracy, but in the last few weeks one of our films has been uploaded to a file sharing forum and has spread to flv streaming sites.

We have contacted the file hosting company to remove our content via DMCA, most of them removing the files within a few hours, but we have a problem with the smaller sites that refuse to remove files on the DMCA takedown notice, in which case we go to the server host who have also refuse to act on the takedown notices from us.

Since the video was put online our sales have falling 80%, what really makes it worst is that the thief uploaded a workprint which was included as a DVD extra only making our product look bad to anyone who may view the film, which may affect our other products.

What other methods can be used to facilitate the removal our content.

Thank you for reading.

    

Take proper legal advice, not from forum post lawyers.
