Isn't Google forced to comply with DMCA takedown requests regardless of their legitimacy?
- chris37879 3y agoNo, that’s just how they’ve chosen to handle them to keep their unofficial “safe harbor” status since net neutrality is dead.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoSafe harbor is officially part of DMCA though where if you are notified of infringing content and take it down you aren't liable right? https://www.eff.org/issues/dmca https://www.eff.org/issues/dmca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_A... > DMCA Title II, the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act ("OCILLA"), creates a safe harbor for online service providers (OSPs, including ISPs) against copyright infringement liability, provided they meet specific requirements.
- wtallis 3y agoThe notice [0] says "Kind of Work: Unspecified" and "Original URLs: No copyrighted URLs were submitted" so the safe harbor provisions pertaining to copyright infringement aren't really applicable here.

- kelnos 3y agoSafe harbor has nothing to do with net neutrality. Not complying with DMCA takedown notices would leave them open to legal liability, which I think is fair for them not to want to do.
