Wouldn't I , as a user, have the same DMCA safe harbor as long as I stopped streaming the video if I were to receive one of those letters?

- LeegleechN 6y agoTo have the DMCA safe harbor you have to submit a form at the copyright office and follow certain procedures. It's not automatic the way copyright itself is.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoDefinitely sounds like PeerTube needs a discovery mechanism for users so you don't serve content out of certain jurisdictions.

- kmeisthax 6y agoThe DMCA does not allow you to disclaim liability for your own infringement. It only covers specific kinds of contributory liability that other people do using your online service that you do not have actual knowledge of. This is fragile enough that having human curators prevents you from using your safe harbor for anything they touch. (See Mavrix v. LiveJournal)
