While this doesn't seem to be DCMA, a question for the lawyers here on DCMA takedown requests. Given issuing a request require the requestor to make a "good faith" affidavit, if they're reporting something flagged by a bot that is obviously wrong like this if a human had checked, can it be used as evidence of bad faith & committing perjury?
- mutagenesis 8y agoWhile a false DMCA takedown request can be fined and ultimately punished with jail time, most of the casework on this has clear malicious intent. These are parties that send out a notice just for articles or posts that are critical of said party. In these cases, you had a human on one side knowingly filing a single false DMCA takedown. http://www.aaronkellylaw.com/consequences-of-filing-a-false-dmca-takedown-request/ http://www.aaronkellylaw.com/consequences-of-filing-a-false-... These are cases of programmers creating takedown bots with false positives. Do the programmers know that there will be false positives? Yes. Do they not make a good faith effort to prevent those false positives? Probably. Good luck proving this in court though.
