markscan.co.in Reviews 32

They are blackmailers sending fake DMCA complaints.

They keep sending fake DMCA requests for no reason. Horrible company to deal with, they claim to be from sony and other companies.

This company keeps spamming fake DMCA reports to hosting providers without taking any responsibility for their claims, no communication with their counterparties either. Absolutely shameful and pathetic business.

Sending every month an fraudulent DMCA take-down request to my provider, who isn't even hosting that which they claim it to be (figures..). Thank god my provider checked and verified that MarkScan is indeed sending fraudulent DMCA's. Sadly, they have to handle DMCA's cause they have also American clients, so it's kind of cringe, but it is what it is.
MarkScan has been emailed about this, and told to stop their invalid DMCA requests, but they never respond, so in my opinion they have violated the DMCA requirements for communication. They should be blacklisted from sending ANY DMCA whatsoever, cause not communicating with people they argue they are infringing, is just showing they don't care about sending falsified requests for take-down, and could harm a lot of sites in the process for wrong reasons.

Fake copyright infringement reports. No communication whatsoever. Savage and irresponsible company.

This company misuses ISPs abuse form and makes autoamted requests to take websites and content offline, based on their automated half-baked software that is unable to properly identify content.

Also, their positive google maps reviews are obviously fake.

MarkScan is virus itself, destroying Indian entrepeneurs with mislead ideology on copyright infringements.. They did it for money instead of for educational purposes

Markscan is an Indian IP protection company that boasts on their website (markscan.co.in & markscan.in)...

========================================
"our competence in process and system design has resulted in us exceeding client expectations time and again."
========================================

But they do not meet my expectation of a competent company, so I DO NOT recommend them.

Why?

Because their inept, patent-pending automated software & systems regularly send my hosts DMCA take-down notices for content that does not exist (in some cases, has not existed for years) & was nothing to do with me.

All I ask, is that they take the time to visit the URL they are claiming to infringe their clients' copyright, BEFORE sending the DMCA take-down notice, to verify their claim. Then they will see how hopeless their automated tool is.

I shouldn't need to ask, though. In each email they send, they declare...

========================================
"The information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. We hereby declare that the information in the notification is accurate to the best of our knowledge & belief."
========================================

!!!"The information in the notification is accurate"!!!!

This is what the author claims "under penalty of perjury"

What a joke! It isn't accurate. It is a waste of their time, my time, my hosts' time, the search engines' time & their client's money.

Markscan, please, get your act together & do your research properly, then double-check it BEFORE you fire off the harassing emails - that is what I would call "competence".
