It's better you remove that content. Your host may be obliged to take action if you ignore.

Its Just 2 Episodes of "Raised by the Wolves" so If I remove those 2 i will be safe? Though non of those files are hosted under my hosting account, I just scrap links from the internet.

I take it that was malware on an external site that is served by the adnetwork.

Are you hosting those files in your server? I suggest using embed only for it. Also DMCA doesnt really apply in movie pirating site if you have a nice hosting they wont care about DMCA

Many pirate sites have been taken down or the domain taken by the US gov. if they sue you in court. If your site is hosted outside of the US, and the hosting provider ignore DCMA requests, then you can survive until you get big. Make sure to not any illegal contents on your site and only link to them.

Best bet would be to remove the contents on your site if you don't want them to go after you.

As I understand it uses google ads. This way they will delete your account and you will no longer be able to use this ad network

As for the website online it depends on the company that hosts the website, if they don't call it will stay online.

I clearly must not buy domains in your name as it can take a process.

You risk a lot by using Google AdSense on movie sites.

When it comes to DMCA claims, you should worry only when you get really big, only then, they will come after you. But as you have shown in the screenshot, it's just a link takedown request filled by a company on behalf of WarnerMedia.

Overall, never save any movie files on your server and host your website outside of US jurisdiction. Hope this helps.

UPD:
I see that you host your website on host4geeks which is pretty risky, one DMCA claim to your hoster, and your account gets suspended. In the worst case, whole data will be removed.

As far as I can see you can ignore the warning google just won't display your site on google search. You should add your own DMCA page so the legit owner can directly contact you to remove their content.

If they didn't contact you then don't remove any video. Google just won't display your site on google search.
