As I have seen argued on several places thus far, including at the link below, this alleged DMCA complaint has been contrived at best and certainly falling outside of Safe Harbor doctrine. Meaning, the "immediate action" requirement on GitHub's behalf, doesn't appear to even exist here. With most companies, Hanlon's razor would probably apply ("never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"). But in this case it is rather dubious (if not shocking) how GitHub's legal department appears to have completely failed to do their basic job. As a company, GitHub at least has a legal duty to know the law, or be held accountable for the consequences of their actions when they monumentally fuck things up (while doing serious harm in the process). Either way .. with Microsoft's track record in mind, GitHub's silence on legitimate questions regarding the validity of the RIAA's actions, and now this warning of inflicting harm to people if those dare to not play along with the companies dubious legal decisions .. all in all, I'd say that GitHub has long lost any benefit of a doubt by now. With every day passing, this appears to be shifting more towards plausible (if not likely) malice. On top of that, this isn't a light matter either. Most likely a serious anti-trust violation and might even constitute a criminal enterprise. Not that I expect US authorities to do anything about it, considering its own dubious and dismal track record, for at least several decades. 0: https://joindiaspora.com/posts/808cf690f8e801381778002590d8e506 https://joindiaspora.com/posts/808cf690f8e801381778002590d8e...
