They _can_ restore the content, the provider is not obligated to.
- shawn-butler 10y agoTrue, I guess open source projects are also not obligated to host on such a provider. I'm assuming there are more details forthcoming. Have to wait and see.

- kriro 10y agoEagerly awaiting a response from the GH team. Assuming all the DMCA stuff was handled correctly they need to restore ASAP. How they handle this is (or should imo) be a very good yardstick for deciding if you want to host your FLOSS project with them, apart from the technical reasons.
- icebraining 10y agoAssuming all the DMCA stuff was handled correctly they need to restore ASAP. They need to restore, but not ASAP, they must wait at least ten days, according to 17 U.S. Code § 512 (g) (2) (C): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512

- paulgb 10y agoThe DMCA actually does state that they must restore the content within 10-14 days of receiving a valid counter notice. There is no clear penalty, but most service providers seem to comply. (Edit: unless the copyright owner files an action, which may have been what happened here)
