> You can issue various content complaints to YouTube not all of them are DMCA related, however if you do claim a violation of copyright it is handled through the DMCA path Interesting reading. It seems like one can send 'free-form' notifications (proper DMCA notices?) independently. Their form is certainly modeled after the DMCA, and I could reasonably believe that a judge would consider it a DMCA process for some purpose, I'm just not 100% sure of that due to YouTube's on process not having a proper put-back (the part cited above where they 'affirm' that it's really infringing and YT cuts you off). > If I understand this correctly you are suggesting that a party A can file a claim against party B for content that is potentially owned by party C without being a custodian of said content or being an agent of party C. Just to clarify, I was trying to give an example of something which triggers the 'perjury' clause of the DMCA, so I'm somewhat heartened to hear that YouTube explicitly tells people not to do that.
