Sorry, but no. Google deserves at least a portion of the blame here. By short-circuiting the DMCA process Google is removing the few protections the DMCA does afford the complainee. That's bullshit.
- infinitesoup 11y agoCan you clarify what you mean by "short circuiting"?
- kevingadd 11y agoYoutube takedowns and Content ID aren't the DMCA, there's a custom youtube policy with its own rules. You could send them a DMCA takedown, but why would you? Their system favors the person trying to remove content even more than the DMCA does.
- infinitesoup 11y agoThat's not correct. Content ID is an automated takedown, but if you dispute a content ID claim, then the content owner has to respond with a DMCA takedown request if they want to continue the process. All other takedowns (including that web form) are DMCA takedowns.
