The main problem with DMCA safe harbor in my eyes is that it's too easy to abuse as a censorship tool. According to Google[1] in 2009, 57% of DMCA takedown requests they received were targeting competitors, and 37% were invalid. In 2008 the Church of Scientology took down[2] over 4000 YouTube videos critical of their religion and organization. I've yet to hear of a DMCA abuser prosecuted for perjury. 1: http://pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/pcw.nsf/feature/93FEDCEF6636CF90CC25757A0072B4B7 http://pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/pcw.nsf/feature/93FEDCEF6636CF9... 2: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/09/massive-takedown-anti-scientology-videos-youtube https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/09/massive-takedown-anti-...
