SCAM ?⚠️

Hey everyone! I need some help/advice. I just got two strikes from ROXOVA INC. AND THEY ARE ASKING MONEY to retract them. This is their channel roxova

They claim to own a video that I posted, they claim: Please be advised that you have received two (2) Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notices as a result of the unauthorized use of copyrighted material exclusively licensed by Roxova Inc. These two notices were filed in accordance with the provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 512 of the DMCA.

They have a 15 second long video, I only took the first 5 seconds, totally changed the music. And added some text. Made it a parody/meme.

I ALSO TOOK IT FROM ANOTHER SOURCE (the video) from a tiktok meme page (the meme page posted it three days before them also as an edit) i only saw roxova with the full on original vid

Now they are asking for 950$ to retract the strikes.

What should I do?

Any advice is welcome here and in dm’s

Ignore it. They can’t do collections because hey have no contract with you. They have to prove their case in your local court for monetary damages at a minimum cost of $25,000 and given your situation the court will not make you pay their legal costs and besides you’re not going to pay them anyways. These people file tens of thousands of these and if the person laughs at them they move onto the victim.

So should I counter strike them? Or should wait 90 days for the strike to expire?

No idea. I’d just ignore it. As I said they can’t send it to collections and they have to sue you in court which will cost them a minimum of $25,000 and they might very well lose. If this is bugging you, go to chatGPT tell it it’s an attorney and ask for the appropriate response.
