Batch Reporting for DMCA?

[Weyland]

I have been recently turned onto a Sqi Workshop Crawler to see who's illegally using my content and I have over 5k copyright infringement hits on 2 of my DayZ mods. I'm totally unable to do all of this manually 1-by-1, is there some sort of batch method to solving this issue?

Nope.

Probably not. At some point protecting your work is going to take work. Secondly, what-if 1,000 of those are false positives? Or duplicates? I'm not sure how many DayZ workshop mods there are, but 5 thousand mods stealing your work sounds suspect to me. And sending 50 DMCA's on a single mod because your crawler is dumb might not be something Valve want's to enable when 1 will do.

You may not be able to stop every sort infringement so you may want to prioritize the most popular offenders first. After all something might technically be infringing, but if only 10 people have downloaded the workshop item it might not be a priority treat it as the same priority as the most popular mod with 20,000 downloads.

You hire a lawyer to do the legwork. They can draft a single document that identifies all the specific content you want to claim that they can submit to Valve.
