- josephcsible 3y agoRather than a financial penalty, how about this? What if the consequence of a bogus takedown were that the work you own and claimed was being infringed upon immediately and permanently became public domain? (For takedowns where the lie is that you don't actually own copyright of the work you claim, that part is what's supposed to carry the penalty of perjury, so we should just start enforcing that.)
- OkayPhysicist 3y agoThey already are. You're given all the details of the DMCA claimant in the DMCA claim itself, so that you can sue them.
- kwanbix 3y agoI mean that you don't need to sue them. There should be some sort of jury (to call it something) that is not as expensive/slow as a trial.
