So, one question that I had initially was addressed in the response, namely: does FunnyJunk actually qualify for DMCA fair harbor status?
From what I've read, it's a pretty simple and strict guideline - register an agent with the US Copyright Office so that you can receive notices of infringement. If you do that, you're protected from user-uploaded content.
In the response, Venkat alludes to the lack of a registered agent, so I went and looked it up (http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/list/f_agents.html http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/list/f_agents.html). I can't see Funny Junk listed anywhere. If this is the case, they should consider themselves very lucky that they aren't getting counter-sued into oblivion.
Am I correct in the need for an agent? Am I looking in the right place?
