- wredue 3y agoSony lawyers represent Sony so don’t fall under the perjury rule.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoYou, like many others, are misunderstanding the "perjury" part of the DMCA. It's only perjury if you're don't have legal authority to act on behalf of the company issuing the DMCA takedown. In other words, Sony falsely claiming to have ownership over something is not perjury. Some random person claiming to be working for Sony when they don't and claiming ownership and sending a DMCA takedown is.
- lazide 3y agoNear as I can tell, almost no one wants to prosecute Perjury. Partially because lawyers are so good at weaseling out of it, but secretly I think it’s because lawyers are afraid of what would happen if it was consistently applied. For Family court in particular, I imagine it could turn 1/4 of the state into felons. The only cases I’m aware of were very high profile, ‘successful’ (as in folks believed it, and took action based on it) lies under oath with severe and high profile damages, that later evidence clearly showed was done in bad faith. And by severe and high profile damages, I don’t mean something as simple as a single (non famous) person being dead when they didn’t have to be, unless it’s a huge scandal anyway.
