In order for a DMCA takedown notice to a system caching service provider to be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(b), the notice provider must demonstrate either (a) that the content has already been removed from the originating site or (b) the notice provider has obtained a court order requiring the content be removed from the originating site or access to the content to be disabled. https://www.fastly.com/acceptable-use/ https://www.fastly.com/acceptable-use/
- geocrasher 5y agoI work in the web hosting industry. A lot of times people will only send dmca complaints to our upstream providers. Those upstream providers require us to take that information offline or else they'll actually cut off our access. It's a dirty tactic but it is effective.
