Now the big question: Would either a Republican or a Democrat dare to get rid of DMCA (or even the filthiest of its provisions) or would they continue to support it as they get more donations from the backers of DMCA?
There isn't a dime's worth of difference between the two faces of the one-party dictatorship of USA.

- natrius 14y agoThe DMCA safe harbor provisions are a net good. Without them, YouTube could not exist because they'd be held liable for content on their site that infringes copyrights. The takedown and challenge process could be better, but calling for politicians to "get rid of DMCA" is bad for the internet.
- accountswu 14y agoSafe harbor is definitely good but it doesn't have to be exactly the way it is currently. I read that current YT (or the host) must wait for at least 10 days before adding the flagged content back. That sounds like BS, why must a legitimate content be kept offline for 10 days?
