For one I’d like there to be some punishment for repeated abuse of DMCA. GitHub policies state that repeat offenders can get their accounts suspended/deleted. Why can’t repeat offenders (RIAA) get banned from the system at least? Some increasing back off after a rejected claim was posted? Anything that would make it un-economical to just spam the system with notices wherever you like it because there is no downside to it.
- Meph504 6y agoI wonder if anyone has written something to find and independently assess the validity of these bulk false DMCA take downs. Honestly, I'm guessing a ambitious law firm could actually make a good class action suit against these offenders. Seems like broad, real damages could be justifiably demonstrated.
