BTW, what makes a DMCA request binding for a company: does it have to host its services in the US, or would it be sufficient that it has a legal entity in the US?
I can imagine that many companies could have an office and a legal entity in US while the actual service is run somewhere else, and I'd think that DMCA would still be enforceable towards the US legal entity.
- SyneRyder 10y agoGood question! I don't know the answer, but I did find a forum comment by a host with servers in the Netherlands, Bulgaria & Ukraine who say they comply with DMCA requests because they are also a registered business entity in the US: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/415046/#Comment_415046 https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/415046/#Commen... [Of course, taking legal opinion from a random forum comment is probably a bad idea...]
- ptaipale 10y agoWell, when the comment is on the side of caution, it's at least not clearly bad advice.
