Are you sure? Wouldn't they then lose the "safe habour" protection from the DMCA, and then be more liable?
I know they can, and do, go beyond the DMCA, and take down things more often. But I thought they would still want to keep the benefits (for them) of the DMCA
- ubernostrum 9y agoYouTube will react appropriately to a DMCA notice if you send them one. That's all they have to do to keep their safe harbor. Anyone can go look up their registered agent and do it. But YouTube's own easy-to-use automated enforcement system is very different from the DMCA, and almost certainly will ignore or at least massively de-prioritize notices-within-that-system-which-are-not-DMCA-notices against a major company. So if you felt you had a real case you'd probably have to actually send a DMCA notice, which would just result in automatic counter-notice and YouTube saying "well, we followed the rules, if you want more to happen you have to go sue that gigantic company all by yourself".
- rmc 9y agoOK, that's what I thought. I thought the DMCA required something to be down for a certain amount of days (1? 3?), like you cannot just auto put it back up, right?
