I find it unpleasant that Gandi forwarded the DMCA letters to the author. (Gandi is the registrar for hardbin.com.) I’ve never liked how the DMCA turns private companies into policemen.
If they’re going to tattle to hardbin.com’s mom, why stop there? Why not send the DMCA takedown to IANA too? And also to the authorities in France where (I think) Gandi are based?
Similarly, just as Gandi passed the DMCA letter on to the author, so too should he pass on the DMCA letter to whoever posted the IPFS content. I would suggest (tongue in cheek) having a link on hardbin.com where users can regularly check to see if their content has been issued a DMCA notice. Now hardbin.com can’t be liable any more — like Gandi, they’ve been a good private cop and passed the notice on, down the chain!
