What can be done about YouTube videos posting Adf.ly-shortened links to mods? I have several mods hosted on mediafire, and use an adf.ly link on the main topic. I have seen a couple of YouTube channels who have downloaded the mod, made a review, re-uploaded the mod and stuck their own adf.ly links over it. Some are quite popular YouTubers, clearly making a decent amount of money from these links.
By far the worst offender I've seen is /user/LPMShadow. They have 60k+ subscribers, and are getting upwards of 1000 views per video - most of these videos are mod reviews with their own adf.ly links on them (two of my mods have been reviewed by this channel, neither of which used my adf.ly links).
You could try contacting the youtuber directly. I think some people have had relative success with that.
I'm not really sure what to do if that doesn't work though.
Anyone, does youtube care at all if someone's stealing clicks off minecraft mods?

Technically, it wouldn't be their business, but it's still no excuse to reupload mods/redirect though adfly. If it's a site directly hosting a stolen mod, then they should give one or two craps about it.

Just report their channel to YouTube, and watch as they get hammered for violating the Community Guidelines.
Can you verify that they are posting cracked game copies? Because if that is true, we can report them directly to Mojang, who is very likely to care and torpedo their entire site.

EDIT: The Opera add-on just leads me to the Firefox add-on page. Fix this, I use Opera and want to be saved from the mod reposting websites.
Seems like this is the correct one: Stop Mod Reposts

I'm sure the Disk Operating System won't help you.
Lowercase 'o', so Denial of Service
Isn't that a crime or something?
Yep, definitely illegal. Sending so many requests to a server that it prevents access to any other client.
Yea, that's DDOS, but I meant the Denial of Serive thingy.
Then send a request to the international internet domain service to disable the domain

DDoS -> Distributed Denial of Service.
DoS -> Denial of Service.
Both are the same idea, but a distributed denial of service attack is spread across multiple machines whereas a DoS is only one.
Wasn't denial of service something where you are signed up for the army but don't go there?
