If companies which send copyright notices had to pay a hefty fine for each mistake they make, online world would be a bit of better place.
Also the victim should receive a reasonable indemnization, as a way to encourage sharing of content.
- mywittyname 5y agoI doubt it, they'd probably end up with some pausible deniability framework in place that still funnels the upside to them while eliminating any downside risk. Maybe if copyright claims needed to be bonded to cover any counter claims, it might get somewhere.
- Sohcahtoa82 5y agoHow could they possibly argue any sort of plausible deniability? If DMCA notices are automated, and the automation is producing false positives, then they should still be held 100% liable. Fix your automation or remove it entirely. The potential ramifications of a false positive (Massive fines, getting banned from your ISP when they're the only option in town, and more) are too severe to allow any number of them greater than zero. EDIT: And I think the penalty for a false DMCA takedown request needs to be gargantuan. Seven figures, minimum. DMCA trolling should not be profitable.
