They are considered unauthorized models.

Can you elaborate? I can't find anything in DMCA that says the subject of the image has copyright of the image.

Are you fucking stupid? You literally just built a porn reverse image search tool. Think about it, all you need is a screen shot of a single frame of porn and you can find links to other vids with that person. This is a godsend for coomers. Not to mention, the abuse potential of something like this is insane. Now anyone can just use a girls facebook profile or linkedin pic to find nudes - perfect for fapping or for b…

There are many other sites like this built to facilitate the removal of revenge porn and sending DMCA requests to sites who use the material of amateur and professional performers. It’s good for you to shine a light on the problematics aspects of this tech but this is a decades old industry so I think you are being a bit harsh by treating the poster as if they are creating a new problem.

If you are going to commercialize an image like put ads on your site or charge a paywall to see content all the models featured in the image must have signed model release forms. This isn’t us opining about how DMCA should work, this is just precedent. Try to run a marketing campaign for any brand without getting model release forms for everyone depicted and you’ll see exact how legal responds.

I am still confused how this is related to DMCA. I tried googling and I couldnt' find any references to specific laws. My understanding of "revenge porn" is rarely commercialized by the user.
