You shouldn't have to reply with anything. Entities with no proof, due diligence, or process shouldn't be able to make you incur a cost (of discovery of compliance) just because they feel like it.
Sure, in this case, 30 minutes spent and done.
Recently I got a per capita tax bill for a town I didn't live in. They wanted payment for the last 8 years. I lived in a different town entirely (2 towns during the time in question).
When I filled out their form to contest it, they asked for deeds or leases for the duration to prove I didn't live there.
I told them I wouldn't provide such documentation without some proof to the fact I didn't live where I said I did. They responded to ignore the bill, it would be removed (which it was).
To me even the time I spent on this was excessive. In a just world, they'd be liable for my time. Entities, private or government, shouldn't be able to incur costs on our time and life due to their bullshit reasons or error.
- throwaway_ab 3y agoIf there were a law that stated the organisation (corp and gov) must reimburse people for their time wasted due to false accusations it would make a lot of these time wasters go away, when they know there is a consequence for these types of accusations they'd think twice. I would support such a law.
- _nalply 3y agoThen some people would misuse such a law to waste other people's time.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoAnd then they’d be liable for timewasting.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoAbsolutely, and if there are legal remedies to make them pay... all victims should. Too few people take stock of the fact that those who deliberately waste their time are stealing from them.
- _nalply 3y agoIt's all turtles all the way down
- survirtual 3y agoI would support such a law as well. Government and legal entities should be optimizing for people's time. I believe it’s not only a matter of financial reimbursement but also respect and acknowledgement of an individual’s time, which is a non-renewable resource. Law like this would encourage organizations to be more careful and responsible, fostering a culture of respect and accountability.
- aosmith 3y agoI'm pretty sure it's illegal to file false DMCA claims. If there's actually a lawyer involved contact the state bar association.
- Karunamon 3y agoIt is… But if and only if you can prove bad faith, which is basically impossible. There is no recourse to negligently sending DMCA claims.
