IANAL but doesn’t the DMCA takedown system only apply to distribution of content itself? No RIAA member has the ownership rights to this software. It probably is illegal but I believe another legal mechanism other than a takedown notice is required.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong. This is a layman’s understanding.
- stu2b50 6y agoThere's also a provision in the DMCA law about "circumventing copyright law" https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201 Which you could argue this falls into.
- andrepew 6y agoYes the DMCA prohibits circumvention but I’m asking if a takedown notice is the correct legal remedy for such violations? I thought notices were just for content distribution.
