From a technical perspective, Google could compare whois domain registration details and snapshots at the Internet Archive with the allegedly infringing URL. There could be mandatory identity verification for filing DMCA complaints as well, but I'm not sure whether that would gel well with the current regime which penalizes not acting on infringement notices. Further, as someone whose application assets were copied without my permission by small time firms and had to go the DMCA route, I'd probably want to avoid giving out my ID to every hosting company under the sun.

I agree with you in sentiment but this part: > From a technical perspective, Google could compare whois domain registration details and snapshots at the Internet Archive with the allegedly infringing URL. No to Google abusing the Internet Archive’s servers. If they want to host a mirror of their own and hit that, fine, but you know what they could be using instead? Their very own Google Cache.

    I know. That’s why I said it. Abusing a non-profit’s services for a useful function when you had your own to make use of? That’s what we call a dick move. Although this is a hypothetical dick move. Killing off Google Cache was a dick move and wasn't hypothetical though.

could, would, should ...who is Google? What's their address? Hell, what's their email address? Has anyone been able to write an email to Google? (</s>)
