If Google listens to Disney, why wouldn't the same argument automatically apply to every copyrighted property being reproduced? Surely the law prohibits all copyright infringement, not just infringement of companies with lawyers and deep pockets.
- digiown 8mo agoYou effectively don't have copyright if you can't afford the lawyers needed to enforce it. This is how it's always been, but people made some effort at hiding it in the past.

No. The DMCA is capricious by design in that if ceases to provide safe harbor if too much copyright infringement is going on. Hence allowing people to pirate the properties of small rightsholder but not larger ones is a valid way to retain safe harbor.
