Facebook is not alone in being vulnerable to faked DMCA takedown notices. However, the DMCA requires such notices to be made under the penalty of perjury. If you're willing to perjure yourself, the DMCA has always allowed for you to do so. I don't agree with the article's suggestion that Facebook can just raise the bar on which notices to accept. It's my understanding that service providers can't implement such restrictions and still qualify for safe harbor protection. If there's a story here, it's that Facebook might not be properly processing counter-notices: http://www.chillingeffects.org/question.cgi?QuestionID=132 http://www.chillingeffects.org/question.cgi?QuestionID=132 I've only dealt with 512(a) (while working an abuse-desk at an ISP), I'd be interested to hear more from people experienced with 512(c).
