Fraudulent takedown notices and fraudulent responses create liability. There's probably room for a "no-win, no-pay" law firm that bills $500/hour to handle fraudulent DMCA takedown notices. Bonus points to them if they donate half their income to the EFF.
- creer 3y agoThis is interesting. I was not aware of effective counter attacks to abusive DMCA notices. That site lists two very different results from 2004 and 2007 (and that web site is unmaintained and out of date.) There were other attempts, Cox in 2021, California Beach Co., LLC in 2020. And this law firm calls for customers in that area of DMCA abuse: https://www.hinchnewman.com/internet-law-blog/2015/04/legal-copyright-dmca-takedown-notice/ https://www.hinchnewman.com/internet-law-blog/2015/04/legal-... There might be a developing environment in which to monetarily fight that abuse.
- derbOac 3y agoTo be honest, this imho is what the EFF should be doing, hiring laywers to counteract this kind of thing. If they were doing this (or some whatever strategy they decided would be most effective), I'd probably donate more money to them.
