Can we fight them back? Can't we collectively submit our own DMCA requests on all their videos? Break the system so they have come to up with a new one.

- jaredklewis 7y agoNo. Companies have a legally defensible narrative: 1. People were using Rhinna's songs without permission in large numbers. 2. The company wrote a program to automatically send out a takedown notice to violators 3. Whoops, the program made a mistake. We didn't mean to. If you, dalore, write a takedown bot, it's obvious from the start you are acting in bad faith because there is no epidemic of people pirating dalore songs. I do think that companies here are "acting in good faith" in so much as I do not think they are misrepresenting their intentions. I don't think Sony has a conspiracy to increase it's revenue by monetizing Minecraft gamer channels. However, the law is written in such a way that there is no penalty for companies that write low precision, high recall, dumpster-fire grade take-down bot software.
- brlewis 7y agoHow many times do you think step 3 has to be repeated before they're no longer able to claim good faith? More on this topic: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/responding-dmca-takedown-notice.html https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/responding-dmca-take...
