Step by step
- Work out which platform the post came from. kemono.su republishes from Patreon, Fanbox, Gumroad and SubscribeStar rather than from the adult platforms. Naming the original platform and the original post is what makes the notice specific enough to act on.
- Capture the page and the date. Save the kemono.su URL, a screenshot showing the URL bar, and the date you found it. Evidence collected after the page changes is weaker, and pages on aggregators change often.
- Send to the conventional address. Address the notice to abuse@kemono.su. Expect silence, and keep the sent copy: an attempted host route is part of a complete record even when it produces nothing, and later rungs are stronger when the record is complete.
- Report to the network answering for kemono.su. Look up which network the domain resolves through and file that network's abuse report with the same URL list. The network forwards to the origin host and its provider, which is where a response usually comes from.
- File delisting at the same time. Submit each indexed kemono.su URL for copyright delisting on Google and on Bing. Delisting is a separate outcome that does not depend on the host or the network doing anything.
What a contact lookup can and cannot tell you about kemono.su
A contact lookup answers one question: who is published as responsible for this domain. For kemono.su the honest answer is nobody, and a tool that returns a confident-looking address for it is guessing rather than resolving.
openDMCA's resolver runs four rungs in order — a curated routing table, a shared contact cache, a registry lookup, then the conventional fallback address — and records which rung produced the recipient. That recorded rung is what later tells the system whether a notice failed because nobody read it or because nobody received it.
The contact cache matters more than it looks: a domain resolved once is reused across every customer, so the second creator filing on kemono.su does not repeat the lookup or the wait.
openDMCA gives the first two hops away: you can open resolve a host's abuse address and run it on a URL of your own, with no account and nothing uploaded.
One thing that catches people out on kemono.su
kemono.su and its sister aggregator share a registry that publishes no lookup service at all, which means the registrar rung returns nothing rather than returning a wrong answer. That is a meaningfully different failure from a host that answers with an unmonitored mailbox: there is no party to escalate to at the domain level, so the network in front of kemono.su is the first rung with a real recipient.
