If we REALLY want to reform DMCA there is relatevily simple way to do it:
Organize a massive simultaneous DMCA takedowns of congressmen web pages...
The reform will come in days.
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoIsn't there a consequence for making frivolous or baseless DMCA takedowns? I mean there should be given the amount done on e.g. youtube, but if you obviously don't own copyright on something, it'll be considered malicious and you'd get prosecuted yourself.
- Qem 4y agoPeople could just post hackerrank problem answers to congressmen's pages and wait.
- SturgeonsLaw 4y ago> Isn't there a consequence for making frivolous or baseless DMCA takedowns? In theory yes, in practice no
- rmbyrro 4y agoThis is also a great way to get sued for perjury and be made as an example that citizens should not challenge their representatives in such ways.
- addingnumbers 4y agoThat's the whole point, to get them to reform the law, or to set courtroom precedent against spurious claims, while they're forced to take the position of its victims instead of continuing to side with the more well-funded perpetrators.
- rhino369 4y agoPurposely filing notices as a protest is indisputably bad-faith. That's not going to set any precedent against bad-faith notices with a veneer of plausible deniability.
- indymike 4y agoNah, they'll just exempt "official government content" from the takedown process.
