Why not some sort of suspension system? Request take down of something you don't own -> you can't invoke DMCA for a month. That should be a deterrent.

- tovmeod 13y agoor maybe charging, if such a request is sent they have to pay for the employee time wasted on that
- bjeanes 13y agoI doubt that is legal. That (or something along these lines) would be a good improvement to DMCA process in general, but doubtfully something that Google can decide to do.
- Vitaly 13y agoHow about "request takedown of something you do not own and all your takedown requests will be hand-checked for a month" which will put a reasonable and significant delay into processing. The law doesn't mandate immediate automatic action.
- mcv 13y agoThey can't outright refuse to handle DMCA requests, but they can stop automated handling of such requests. If I understand correctly, big content holders get special tools they can use to remove infringing content from some Google services (YouTube at least; not sure about search results). If they abuse that special access, Google can take away these privileges and double check everything manually. That takes a lot of time, and means that the infringing content will remain accessible for a longer time.
