I'm surprised GitHub honored these requests as they aren't valid to begin with. DMCA takedown notices can only be used for traditional copyright violations, not allegations of protection measure circumvention.
- SkyPuncher 2y agoNone of the big copyright distributing sites really play by DMCA. DMCA is just the formal, legal process. Most sites are putting some sort of self-managed process in front of DMCA. They can remove anything they want because their terms allow it. It in turn makes copyright holders happy without any of the risk of false DMCA complaints.
