The following types of content are not allowed to be shared on pixeldrain. They
will be removed when reported.
Copyright violation: Works which are shared without permission from the
copyright holder. For copyright reports we need a formal DMCA takedown request
originating from the copyright holder or a representative. See the chapter
E-Mail reporting rules below. When sending a copyright infringement
notice to our abuse address, please state clearly that it is a copyright
infringement notice so that we can properly detect the type of report. Using
words like ‘theft’ or ‘stolen’ won’t work because piracy is not theft.
Abuse of minors: Videos, images or audio fragments depicting abuse or
inappropriate touching of minors will be removed and reported to the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children when found.
Zoophilia: Videos, images or audio depicting abuse or inappropriate
touching of animals.
Terrorism: Videos, images or audio fragments which promote and
glorify acts of terrorism.
Gore: Graphic and shocking videos or images depicting severe harm to
humans (or animals). I will clarify that I am not strictly against shocking
content, and it is also not illegal in most places. When a shocking video goes
viral it often ends up in the wrong places and it can cause mental issues for
unsuspecting viewers. For that reason I will remove it when it gets reported.
Malware and computer viruses: Software designed to cause harm to computer
systems.
Doxing: Posting private information about an individual or organisation.
This includes publicly sharing private photos, videos or documents. Shaming
and extortion are not accepted.
Revenge porn: The distribution of sexually explicit images or videos of
individuals without their consent
Violating these rules will result in your IP address being banned from uploading
to pixeldrain.
If you have found content which falls in any of these categories on pixeldrain
please report it with the report button on the download page or by sending an
e-mail. When reporting links through e-mail pay attention to the rules described
below.
E-Mail reporting rules
Due to the large number of abuse reports pixeldrain receives every day we were
forced to automate the process. Messages sent to
abuse@pixeldrain.com are automatically scanned
for pixeldrain links and processed. The first report we receive from a sender is
manually reviewed. If the report is approved then your e-mail address will be
added to our whitelist and all following messages are processed automatically.
For this to work efficiently we have to set some requirements on the mails we
receive:
Messages are categorized based on their contents. Make sure the report
contains a description of the type of content and that it mentions one of the
abuse categories listed above. The abuse mailbox only accepts reports written
in English.
Do not add attachments to your e-mail reports. Only the e-mail body is checked
for download links. The message scanning system will not check your
attachments and download links within the files are not detected.
Do not obfuscate the pixeldrain links. The reported download links need to be
complete and valid.
The e-mail must include a
Message-ID header. The Message-ID
is used to reference messages in our system, mails without a Message-ID are
not processed.
The abuse system uses e-mail addresses for authenctication so we need to be
wary of message spoofing. To
combat this we require both
DKIM and
SPF validation before
we can accept e-mails. If either of these checks fail we assume the message
was spoofed and it goes straight to the spambox.
Only send abuse reports to
abuse@pixeldrain.com. Messages sent to any
other e-mail address are ignored.
Do not repeatedly send reports about files which have already been removed in
the past. We will block your e-mail address if this happens.
If your abuse report is rejected for one of the above reasons then you will
receive a reply with instructions on how to fix it.
