AFAIK the perjury bit pertains only to the declaration of being authorized by the "owner" of the named work. Not for any level of diligence when identifying URLs, nor for the claiming of infringement. There is very little equity in the DMCA - the law was essentially written and purchased by the media cartels. But it seems to be less lethal than the CFAA, so at least that is some kind of progress.
- robhlt 3y agoI believe that's how it works too, it's worded very conveniently for the copyright lobby. The rest of the DMCA notice just falls under "good faith belief". There is a section about misrepresentations that starts with "Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents...", but it would be up to the accused to prove the claimant intentionally lied.
