Did he actually use DMCA? AFAIK Youtube has it's own system and doesn't typically deal with DMCA.
If you are required to do something by law, you can't just ignore (bad cases of) it, and call it case closed.
- ikeboy 7y agoIt was DMCA notices, yes. DMCA doesn't require them to take it down. It just removes their safe harbor from liability if they don't. If YouTube is confident that a notice is BS, they can just ignore it.
- notyourday 7y agoI would be highly surprised if that's the way it worked at youtube because that's not the way it works in other players: There's an takedown API/dashboard access to which is given to large content producers ( networks, large studios, transmitters, broadcasters, rights holders ). It is them who triggers the takedown action and selects the "reason" which triggers an automated action by the platform. Most of the "content had been taken down by mistake" comes not from internal system but rather from other parties having access to the takedown API.
- ikeboy 7y agoThat's separate. It's called content ID. But the case I mentioned above was by someone who did not have access to content ID and was just submitting fraudulent DMCA notices.
