Yeah, but there's a lot of content that's taken down a day or two for no valid reason due to "mistakes". There's supposed to be a reasonable expectation that the copyright own has really verified they own the copyright before they issue the DCMA notice. They aren't always doing the due diligence they should be doing. Hence the only way to stop abusive, excessive, and negligent use of DCMA takedown notices is to enable the real copyright holders to sue for statutory damages for false claims. That or better enforce the "perjury" aspect of filing a takedown notice.

@ 10 Aug 12, 2010 at 22:00 by iR: it’s about time ppl receiving threatening letters with copyright claims started throwing back a lawsuit at those idiots.

Copyright the way it is today is a threat to the creative works, not a protection. And while MAFIAA advocates pro-copyright and goes after file sharers as if they were criminals, the outfit itself or the companies associated are engaged in activities that constitute direct or indirect infringements of copyright or even other unrelated laws in the witch hunting process.

I tell you, I’ve seen irony but this copyright world breaks records often in that field.

Sending a DMCA is implying that you have the copyright and ownership of it. At the moment the MAFIAA say its theirs they actually do STEAL the credit for it.

@25 wtfgov?
They already do, there was an article on TF long time ago. It was about how the MAFIAA have taken down an artists track from his own page (facebook or something like that) for which the MAFIAA has no rights. And it wasn’t restored at all. MAFIAA even SELL copies of the track on compilations while not having any rights to it at all.

(you would need to find the article for all the details)
