ran ~280 torrents against the RD API today to figure out whats going on with all the infringing_file errors. TL;DR: keyword matching on filenames, not actual copyright takedowns.

same episode, different filename, different result

same anime episode (Ghost Concert EP6, uploaded today on Nyaa):

• [SubsPlease] Ghost Concert - missing Songs - 06 (1080p) -> OK
• GHOST CONCERT missing Songs S01E06 1080p CR WEB-DL -> BLOCKED
• [Trix] Ghost Concert: Missing Songs S01E06 [WEBRip 1080p AV1 Opus] -> BLOCKED

same content. only the filename matters.

keywords that get you blocked

fresh torrents from Nyaa (uploaded hours ago):

Keyword	OK	Blocked
WEB-DL	0	8
WEBRip	0	3
CR (Crunchyroll)	0	5
AMZN	0	2
DSNP	0	2
BD / Remux	8	0

if your filename has WEB-DL, WEBRip, AMZN, DSNP, or CR in it, blocked. BD Remux and fansub-style names pass fine.

a 1946 Popeye cartoon and a 1949 Ozu film are not getting DMCA'd. RD is just running a regex on filenames.
