The legal system didn't magically become the way it is recently or suddenly. When the law was created, the legislators knew that there would be unequal access to the law. They did it anyway.
>In most cases a lawsuit isn't needed. If you receive a false complaint and file a counternotice, the content gets restored 10-14 days later if there's no lawsuit filed.
And your content is taken down for 14 days with no reasonable recourse for you.
- ikeboy 7y ago>And your content is taken down for 14 days with no reasonable recourse for you. This is a very small harm comparatively, in my view an acceptable loss in order to establish the overall framework. The alternative is not having any way to remove content short of a lawsuit, which would lead to significantly more lawsuits that's more expensive for everyone, and hurt smaller content owners that can't afford a lawsuit. Regardless of what the law is, people prepared to spend money on lawsuits will do better. But the direct impact of the law is moving most disputes outside of the legal system, which has the effect of making it more equal, not less. It's weird to blame the law for the few parts that do require lawsuits, when the alternative is many more suits.
