Its more that Google's implementation of the DMCA is broken. They have automated take downs and have a completely broken appeal process. They certainly aren't the only company failing to deal with the DMCA correctly. There are clauses in the DMCA specifically targetted at false claims, if those were enforced we might start to see a change in the system but as is the DMCA is misused too often.
- taneq 3y agoThey don’t get sued for DMCA and they don’t get bothered by disgruntled victims of false positives. Sounds like an absolute win! /s

- Matheus28 3y agoWeirdly enough, it’s not automated. I’ve recently submitted a valid DMCA against a play store app (that was simply a web view embedding my app without authorization, claiming it as theirs) and weirdly enough they emailed back saying they will not be acting on it. So now they’ve abandoned their safe harbor and I’ll have to file a claim against Google, instead of them just doing the right thing.
- cultureswitch 3y agoThe DMCA as a law is horribly written. The law is the reason why companies like Google behave the way they do. Change the law to something less retarded and there's a chance fewer problems will occur.
