What 2.5 million takedowns reveal about who steals creator content, where it goes, and what actually gets it removed. Data window: October 2024 – June 2026.
A leak is no longer an incident — it’s a stream. Between October 2024 and June 2026 Traqeer detected 2,582,059 infringing URLs, and resolved 92.3% of them. The 2026 pace is 200,000–235,000 new URLs per month. A single popular creator’s content gets re-uploaded across dozens of domains within hours of leaking; protection is a pipeline against a pipeline. The +256% year-over-year growth reflects both real market growth and Traqeer’s expanded monitoring coverage — both trends point the same way.
The fight is winnable because the enemy is concentrated: the top 20 piracy domains host 42% of every infringement we detected, and the top 140 host 68%. These are the ten biggest, with their real, measured compliance:
| Domain | Infringements | Resolved | 90% resolved within |
|---|---|---|---|
| tubeorigin.com | 190,973 | 100% | 1.1 days |
| fapello.com | 98,166 | 96% | 24 h |
| picazor.com | 86,128 | 95% | 7.0 days |
| thefap.net | 81,107 | 96% | 14 h |
| cums.net | 73,953 | 100% | 1.2 days |
| nudogram.com | 63,392 | 94% | 1.8 days |
| hotzxgirl.com | 59,992 | 90% | 19 h |

The popular narrative says piracy sites ignore takedowns. The data says otherwise: 94 of the top 140 domains resolve at least 90% of properly filed takedowns, and only one resolves less than half. The biggest sites are also the fastest — hours, not weeks. Why the gap between narrative and data? Compliance follows notice quality: sites ignore vague, mass-generated complaints and process precise, documented, verified ones (ignoring those risks their safe-harbor protection). The bottleneck of creator protection is not the pirates’ willingness to comply — it’s the quality of enforcement.
Aggregators — sites that index and link leaks hosted elsewhere — carry the largest share (34%), followed by tube sites (29%) and per-creator leak galleries (11%). Outside the domain ranking sit the two transversal channels: Telegram, and Google Search itself — the discovery layer that feeds everything else. De-indexing infringing URLs from Google removes their traffic even when a host is slow.
Google’s Transparency Report publishes every DMCA reporter’s track record — same metric, same public source, for every service. The pattern is consistent: the more volume-driven the reporting, the worse the outcome. Services submitting hundreds of millions of URLs see 21–55% bounce as “not in index” — links that never existed in Google. Verification-first reporting produces measurably better results.

Platform data: Traqeer detection & takedown platform, excluding soft-deleted records; window October 2024 – June 2026; cutoff July 7, 2026. “Resolved” = removed at source or de-indexed from Google. Growth caveat: the +256% YoY reflects both real piracy growth and Traqeer’s expanded client base and monitoring coverage; the number describes the volume creators face through our platform’s lens, not a global piracy census. Industry rates: Google Transparency Report public organization profiles, captured July 6, 2026; momentum = URLs processed per week (public endpoint), last 12 months vs the previous 12. Per-domain compliance is published and refreshed monthly in the Piracy Wiki.
