- largesse 14y agoApparently, the notices say "under penalty of perjury", but at the very least you should be able to sue abusers civilly. I'm just not sure that is a great recourse for open source. DMCA needs reform on this. There needs to be scale of fines for parties that issue takedowns based upon false copyright claims.
- dangrossman 14y agoThe part that's "under penalty of perjury" is only the statement that you are authorized to act on behalf of a copyright holder, not that your claims are true.
