Absolutely not. You can ignore a defective DMCA notices and see if the claimant files a lawsuit. Google routinely does this [1]. It is a business risk choosing between losing a client vs getting sued. If you value your clients, you should have a review process to access the legality of DMCA notices you receive.

- leeoniya 7y ago> You can ignore a defective DMCA notices and see if the claimant files a lawsuit. if you are your own ISP, then maybe you can. AFAIK, no ISP or hosting provider in the US is going to risk it. most (all?) ISPs require the customer to remove the content first and ask questions later.
- kd5bjo 7y agoThough it may take some time, a counter-notice reinstating the content is supposed to be just as automatic as a takedown removing it. Presumably, failure to do so has similar risks to the ISP of their customer suing them for a DMCA violation.
- leeoniya 7y agoexcept a take-down has a low max time limit and a reinstatement has a large min time limit. it's engineered for maximum disruption prior to any evaluation of fact.
