A lot of the direct DMCA problems come from improper use needing to be demonstrably wilful in application. When algorithms send out these notices, you get some plausible deniability.
But setting up a news site to inject a backdated and infringing article would seem to be several, moderately serious criminal offenses.
If someone does this to you, push back hard. They're facing prison and fines.
- michaelmrose 8y agoThe DMCA has been abused quite a lot. How many people in history have been sent to prison? Can you find one? The laws in the US are laws to control the behavior of the weak not the strong.
- oliwarner 8y agoMy point was this is very far beyond the typical takedown abuse. Creating (itself infringing) content on a for-purpose site ticks the "wilful" requirement of the DMCA's defined requirements for perjury.
