Yes it is sufficient and doable but the question is will dropbox do it? How will they even identify whether I own or have the license to use the files I have in my private folder. If I just keep my purchased ebooks in a dropbox (private) folder and a public folder (belonging to someone else) containing some of the same ebooks are flagged, why should I be affected?
- makomk 13y agoIf they don't want to meet the same fate as MegaUpload, Dropbox are certainly going to take down all copies.
- userbinator 13y agoIn other words, you can't use Dropbox for any copyrighted content, even that which you own and are just storing there privately? That doesn't even make sense... but then again, much of copyright law doesn't either.
- danielweber 13y agoMegaUpload's problem went far beyond the fact that they just didn't take down all copies of a file with a DMCA complaint against it.
- lotu 13y agoEven better what if the copyright holder is lazy and keeps copies of the ebooks a dropbox folder. I would not be shocked to find this happening. How would dropbox distinguish between the two?
