- bobthepanda 3y agoAlso I could totally seeing this getting abused with competitors posting fake DMCA for one’s content to get their competition public domained.
- zmgsabst 3y agoThat seems like you’d be committing perjury, which the victim could prove easily by showing there’s no authorization.
- ssl-3 3y agoDoes matter whether the abusers are the owners themselves or merely representative agents of that the owners have hired? I don't think that it does.
- dns_snek 3y agoPer the definition, yes. A DMCA notice submitted by someone other than the copyright owner or someone acting on their behalf is invalid.
- zmgsabst 3y agoIf you submit a DMCA notice without authorization, then it’s perjury. If you submit one with authorization, then the authorizing party should put their IP as collateral.
