A provider like reddit, youtube, google, etc can't "push back" and not then themselves become party to the infringement. Don't blame them blame the law as writ

A provider like reddit, youtube, google, etc can't "push back" and not then themselves become party to the infringement. Don't blame them blame the law as written. Providers don't get to choose a side. Counter DMCA exists though so legitimate content can be restored pretty quickly with a counter claim
- matheusmoreira 7y ago> Counter DMCA exists though so legitimate content can be restored pretty quickly with a counter claim When people get arrested after a false accusation, they shouldn't be happy just because they can prove their innocence in court later. Unjustified preemptive punishment should never happen in the first place. The accuser should have to prove beyond doubt that the accused is guilty in order to justify the intervention of any higher power. If they can't do it, absolutely nothing should happen.
- not2b 7y agoIn this case, a counterclaim was filed long ago and Google has not acted. See the article. Edit: oh, I see that the content has now been restored (from another comment).
- lern_too_spel 7y agoYou do not have to be proven to be guilty beyond reasonable doubt to be arrested. That happens after arrest and before prison. Someone who is falsely arrested or whose works are wrongly taken down by DMCA can sue in civil court. The remedy is exactly the same in both cases.
