In what universe do "low to middle class" people own copyrights and send DMCA takedowns?
- duskwuff 5y agoSmall-time artists, musicians, and photographers. DMCA takedowns aren't just for corporations protecting their IP; they're also a valuable defense mechanism for hobbyists when their work gets ripped off by those corporations.
- yc12340 5y agoYou mean those musicians, who regularly have their music stolen by music labels? I am curious, how you imagine DMCA enforcement by such people. They send a DMCA notice to a Hollywood studio... then what? Will production committee pull the movie out of cinema? Will they recall blu-ray disks from shops to destroy them? DMCA offers no way to negotiate compensation or receive payment — "artists, musicians, and photographers" still have to sue to get paid.
