Dropbox only hashes files that they've gotten DMCA takedowns for. So WB told Dropbox "do not allow people to share Rick & Morty", and then got angry because they couldn't share Rick & Morty internally. This isn't a false positive, the algorithm is working exactly as intended.

- kmeisthax 4y agoYes, because you need to be able to counternotify; this is why I was a little suspicious of the "it's a copyright problem" explanation. However, if they had ignored prior notices and continued infringing, then Dropbox needs to shut off their account because they're a repeat infringer, and that process might just look the same as any other TOS violation ban.
