That's not the argument IMO. They don't have to be intentionally malicious in each action. A drunk driver doesn't want to kill a little girl in the road. Their prior choices shape the outcome of their later options. A drunk driver decides to get behind the wheel after drinking. A large company makes a decision to make more profit knowing there are repercussions and calculating the risk.

- lazide 1y agoThe DMCA laws prescribe the process. Google (or any other party) isn’t allowed to decide for themselves what is or is not a valid DMCA complaint. Complain to Congress, they’re the ones who set this up to work this way.
- RobotToaster 1y ago> they’re the ones who set this up to work this way. Who lobbied for it to work that way? I'm assuming google aren't entirely innocent here.
- ninkendo 1y agoThe DMCA is from 1998. I don’t think Larry and Sergei were taking a break from inventing google so they could lobby congress from their Stanford dorm room.
- smw 1y agoGoogle had only been founded a month before, I don't think they had vast lobbying powers yet!
- zeven7 1y agoFrom what I remember Google fought against DMCA abuse by media companies and lost.
- iamtedd 1y agoThis isn't a copyright issue. DMCA doesn't apply.
- lazide 1y agoFalse DMCA claims are commonly used to take down videos like this.

- thaumasiotes 1y ago> They don’t even attribute their quotes, and there is no screenshots I can see of these supposed notices either. You'd see them, if you read the article. Look for the big image with the caption saying "Source:". I should warn you that you'll have to make it through seven (7) sentences of text before you get there. As a side note, not a single word of your comment just now is true. Did you think no one would notice?
