It's not an either or. We need to do the takedown AND figure out a way where we can do things like randomizing questions but preserving the integrity of it to ensure a fair evaluation, etc.
- endisneigh 4y agoWhy do the takedown though? You’ll never get rid of solutions being online. There are solutions to most questions on leetcode on GitHub as we speak. I don’t get it. If your assessment is designed that knowing the solution ruins it then your assessing process is broken. I’ve literally showed candidates the solution to leetcode questions and they still don’t get it. Trying to remove solutions seems like a poor use of effort imho.
- xucheng 4y ago> figure out a way where we can do things like randomizing questions but preserving the integrity of it to ensure a fair evaluation, etc How does any of these have anything to do with copyright infringement in the context of DMCA takedown? Do you even own the copyright to the alleged leaked solution?
- electroly 4y agoIs your company's legal position seriously that you hold copyright on independently written solutions to your prompts? If so, I'd love to see you sued for this. This issue goes way beyond just one misfire.
- not2b 4y agoExactly. When you file a DMCA takedown notice you are asserting under penalty of perjury that you own the copyright. While few have suffered consequences for false notices, pissing enough people off might change that.
- asjfkdlf 4y agoThis is a horrible abuse of the DMCA. HackerRank does not own the copyright to independent solutions.
- philderbeast 4y agoNo, no you dont need to do take downs, ever. literaly everything your assessing is programming 101. its not something that you can or should be asserting any copywrite on. infact I would challange you to register the copywrites on your questions/answers and see exactly how far you get with that process before you even consider sending a single DMCA notice.
- b20000 4y agono, you need to find a better business idea
- psyc 4y ago> we need to do the takedown You’ve made a serious mistake somewhere in your reasoning. What you believe is the property of your relatively insignificant enterprise, the whole rest of the world knows damn well is not your property. Besides, this is small potatoes. Why don’t you copyright Wikipedia, then DMCA WikiMedia, then put your copy behind a paywall.
