Shouldn't automated takedowns be considered null and void? If so, is there a way to allow firms that are known to send bogus automated takedowns be blacklisted?

Shouldn't automated takedowns be considered null and void? If so, is there a way to allow firms that are known to send bogus automated takedowns be blacklisted? (i.e. you can always ignore them, if they try to push anything, you just point to their history of automated processes)
Something.
Anything. To discourage this behavior. To hit them where it hurts. (The wallet.)
- TeMPOraL 12y agoThey should. But MAFIAA loves automated takedowns, and they don't care if they're valid either. So it's likely not going to happen.
- sarciszewski 12y agoFuck the MAFIAA, they're not the only one who matters. This is a problem for any US company.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoWell, "any US company" can't coordinate well enough with "any other US company" to bribe the Congress and fix it, therefore they fall prey to the ones that can coordinate to maintain the status quo.
- sarciszewski 12y agoTrue. I guess the only recourse is to revolt, roll out the guillotine, and solve the RIAA/MPAA problem the old fashioned way.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoIf you can organize a revolt, it means you can coordinate enough to at least try and fix the problem without (much) bloodshed.
- happyscrappy 12y agoThat is why they don't have takedown laws like this in Europe, because you can't just bribe the government.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoBut then again, we still have to go to streets to prevent the government from passing stupid stuff like ACTA.
- happyscrappy 12y agoYeah Sweden may have shutdown TPB and arrested the founders but at least file sharing is an official religion, right?
- rmc 12y agoYou can very definitly bribe European governments.
- aptwebapps 12y agoWhenever I hear about automated takedowns I think of the Gibson short story "Burning Chrome".
