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.

- kevin_thibedeau 1y agoDMCA covers circumvention of protection measures.
- AnthonyMouse 1y agoThat's Section 1201. The takedown bit is Section 512. They're two different things. It's also not clear how an informational YouTube video would be either a circumvention tool or an act of circumvention if nothing in the video itself is infringing.
