Reddit’s Repeat Infringer Policies Shut down MegalinksByNitish Singh-April 30 2018 “2/2.1188.png” After receiving a warning from Reddit operators, popular subreddit / r / megalinks stopped receiving new submissions. As written in the warning “This is Reddit’s official warning that we are receiving too many notices of copyright infringement about material posted to your site. If you can not adequately address the problem, we will be required to ban this community [ … ] The law also requires us to issue bans in cases of repeated infringement. Sometimes the issue of persistent infringement is restricted to just one individual and we ban that person alone. Some times the issue pervades a whole society and we ban the group [ … ] This is our formal warning of persistent violation within this culture. In response to copyright notifications we have had to remove material from the web 60 times over the last three months. That’s an unusually high number taking into account the size of the community. “This means that /r / megalinks will have to not only restrict additional entries but also remove old posts to ensure that Reddit stops receiving DMCA notices. Now considering that Megalinks is purely a subreddit dedicated to infringing content, this means that it is necessary to delete almost everything. Under their current predicament Megalinks are moving to a new home reportedly hosted “offshores.” Nearly ten thousand members have already reeled into their new forum and the number is rising.
