Without getting the copyright is mine part how can they claim authorized or ownership?
- andrewaylett 3y agoThey're claiming a specific right is infringed, and although they are frequently completely incorrect about the infringement, they still need to be correct about the right they're claiming about. Chewbacca is a Wookie, and the claimant is authorised to submit infringement notifications. Neither fact is necessarily relevant to the target of the notification.
- notatoad 3y agothere's two independent statements: - i am authorized by the owner of this piece of copyrighted work - this copyrighted work appears at this url. the first needs to be true under penalty of perjury. the second can be as false as you want with no repercussions.
- Aerroon 3y agoBut what is "this piece of copyrighted work"? If they're filing a DMCA claim then it indicates that (a part of) the video they're filing a claim against is "this copyrighted work".
- notatoad 3y agoYou don't file a dmca takedown against a video, you file against a URL. All you're claiming is that your copyrighted content is somewhere in that url. But even if you were filing against a video directly, it doesn't mean you're claiming ownership of the video. It could just be one song on the soundtrack, Or a still photo shown without authorization, Or one of the actor's tattoos (seriously) that is the subject of your claim.
