Copyright Holders Punish Themselves With Crazy DMCA Takedowns

Yesterday Google kindly published a database of takedown requests sent to the search giant on copyright grounds. The DMCA notices are supposed to help protect legitimate sales but entertainment companies sending them are clearly having problems. Witness some of the world’s biggest music and movie companies taking down everything from news articles promoting their latest releases, to their very own marketing content.

During the last 24 hours Google published an extremely enlightening database listing DMCA takedown notices the company receives from rightsholders. Google calls it their ‘Transparency Report’ and its very publication shows why transparency is absolutely needed in these areas.

Quite simply, rightsholders are having problems getting it right. Check out these ridiculous takedowns from some of the world’s leading entertainment companies against sites that have done nothing wrong.

Warner Brothers: Wrath of the Titans

When a movie’s either just about to come out or already doing the rounds, people want to find out about it. Amazingly, Warner and their anti-piracy partners managed to undermine their own marketing campaign for Wrath of the Titans with DMCAs sent to Google.

Through this DMCA takedown Warner requested the removal of the IMDb listing for their own movie.

But it didn’t stop there. Warner also asked Google to delist the official trailer on Apple along with the ones on Hulu, The Guardian and FilmoFilia. In addition, the studio asked for an article on BBC America to be removed along with a listing on a site that helps people find theaters to watch the movie.

IMDb

As can be seen here, Warner issued a takedown for the IMDb listing for its own movie Happy Feet Two. They were in good company since Paramount Pictures, NBC Universal and other rights holders did the same for IMDb information pages covering their content.

Hulu, Crackle

Hulu has also become an unlikely target. In addition to the Warner takedown mentioned above, UFC owner Zuffa also asked Google to delist its own content on the authorized video site.

Sony-owned Crackle was picked on too, when Warner Bros. asked Google to delist an information page about its movie Hall Pass.

Other news and information sites

Bizarrely, news sites are being hit with takedowns too. In addition to the Warner instance mentioned above, the RIAA asked Google to delist a review of the album Own The Night published on The Guardian. The artist behind the album is Lady Antebellum, signed to RIAA-member Capitol Records.

Even more worrying, the RIAA asked Google to delist Last.fm’s entire Electro Pop section because they thought it carried a pirate copy of All About Tonight by Pixie Lott.

Warner also reappeared later on, asking Google to delist a page on news site NME which lists information on the latest movies, which at the time included information on the movie Hall Pass. The same page on NME was targeted on several other occasions, including by anti-piracy company DtecNet on behalf of Lionsgate, who had info on The Hunger Games delisted.

Hollywood Reporter didn’t fare much better either. Sony Pictures asked Google to swing the banhammer against the popular news site after it published an article called “Trent Reznor Releases Six Free Tracks From ‘Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ Soundtrack” and Sony mistook it for a DVDRIP.

But as soon as Sony’s piracy fears on the first ‘Dragon Tattoo’ movie had subsided they were back as strong as ever with the sequel. This time the sinner was Wikipedia who dared to put up an information page on the movie The Girl Who Played With Fire. Luckily Sony were on hand to ask Google to delist the page.

Although just a tiny percentage of the thousands of correct takedowns issued, the above shows that overbroad filters and poorly considered notices can impact businesses who shouldn’t be affected by them, studios and people who merely report on their content alike.

Fortunately, Google says it does not comply with all takedown requests, rejecting a few percent and reinstating others at later dates, including some of the above.

      I am not using Google anymore too much censorship and no privacy. There is less and less relevant search results with all this censorship.
    - It’s a fit-up.
      
      Google are not your friends.
      They only defend against this type of censorship because they don’t want to set a precedent. Google have a huge database containing millions books that they scanned without getting any copyright copyright permission from the authors (not to mention YouTube) so they can hardly side with the media industry now can they?
      They also have vast amounts of personal data that they sell to advertisers (Not to mention the Street View cars slurping wifi data.) and are guilty of unfair business practices using their search to promote their own products .
      
      Google is the last company anyone should trust, they are as much about profit above all else and Big Media ever were.
    - Anyone
      
      but at least Google is not trying to sue me or have my internet connection disabled
      
      they can make all the profit they want as long as they leave me alone
    - Dex
      
      What’s wrong with having a database containing millions of books, a service cotaining what is likely the highest amount of videos in the world and being against copyright? You almost make it sound like that’s a bad thing.
      
      Google doesn’t sell data, unlike other companies like Facebook… if you have any proof other than hearsay please go ahead.
      
      They do have to work a lot on the “privacy” thing though…
    - It’s a fit-up
      
      Google fanboys are some of the most deluded there are.

    $10k fine if wrongfully submitted, $10k payment if rightfully submitted.
    
    They do issue millions more correct than incorrect, which is pretty good considering they have the whole internet to police.
    
    Maybe website owners should be made responsible for content on their own websites, rather than relying on the user uploaded loop ;)
    - Danny
      
      They are responsible you idiot. Your bosses simply have to sue the sites that put the stuff up there.
      
      The system is wholly unfair for anyone not in the entertainment industry so I agree with that point but why should the rights holders be paid $10k for google doing them a favour and not be fined $10k when they remove a link and ruin someone else’s business?

      He suggested a totally hypothetical and completely unworkable solution as a joke. If it wasn’t a joke, it should have been because its so obvious as to why it wouldn’t work that you’d have to be woefully inept to even suggest it seriously. And as usual, you didn’t get it. Why, because you’re a grade A moron.
      
      How is the current system even vaguely unfair for people “not” in the entertainment industry ?
      
      You do know that anyone can send a DMCA ? Therefore, no one is excluded and anyone can send a counter DMCA too, no exclusions there either. I’m not seeing any unfairness or need to be in “the entertainment” industry to use the DMCA as is, even though its completely out of date.

      Because of the millions of DMCA notices filed per year almost no-one is eligible to file a Counter DMCA, because they don’t own the content that they uploaded.

      So long as Google is sending a message to every single site being delisted to let them know there has been a DMCA complaint against them then yeah I’d agree it’s fair. So the question is whether Google does that or not. If they don’t, it’s not fair at all. After all how is someone running a legitimate internet based business supposed to fight an wrongful take down if they don’t even know about it? Interfering like that should carry some reasonable punishment, should it not? Checks and balances are very important when you have laws that can be so easily abused. That’s hardly unworkable at all.

      “So long as Google is sending a message to every single site being delisted to let them know there has been a DMCA complaint against them then yeah I’d agree it’s fair.”
      
      That’s up to Google of course, they have relevant information from the DMCA sender.
      
      “So the question is whether Google does that or not. If they don’t, it’s not fair at all.”
      
      That would be down to Google.

      Copyright holders will normally send DMCAs to the Website, Host, Registrar, Google and as far as Advertisers and financial support companies. So unless they don’t check their email or prefer the “bury my head in the sand” approach, they’ll know.
      
      If that communication was not sent en-mass (for example, a company wants to clear serps of potentially infringing results) it would only know if Google relay the communication that they themselves received.
      
      Then there is the Counter DMCA, of course, so if as is on occasion an error occurs, it can be restored.
      
      It’s about as good a check and balance as exists right now.

      @PelouzeTF:disqus
      
      Sorry are you talking about yourself in the 3rd person? Or do more than one MAFIAA rent boy use the PelouzerTF account?
      
      The copying industry should be held accountable for perfectly legitimate content they take off line. The MAFIAA ilk have proven repeatedly that they prefer to take legitimate content offline than have it compete with them, for example the meegasong. Then look at the Dajaz1 case, this is all the proof you need that the music industry execs shoot first and ask questions later. Dajaz1 didn’t manage get his domian back for a year even though he proved that he didn’t host infringing content, and that the links that were on there to supposed infringing content were uploaded by either the artists or the record labels.
      
      Anyway most of the links google have taken down don’t contain infringing content. Torrent files DO NOT contain any copyrighted information, the only copyright on a torrent file is by the creator of the torrent file. The actual data is held on the users computers and not on any of the websites. The reason people don’t counter DMCA notices is because it is far easier to re upload a file than go through the legal bullshit to get something re enabled.

      “Sorry are you talking about yourself in the 3rd person?”
      
      Obviously I’m referring to Guess and the suggestion he made regarding $10k fines.
      
      “The copying industry”
      eh ?
      
      “should be held accountable for perfectly legitimate content they take off line.”
      If you’re referring to “copyright holders”, they are responsible and can be sued like anyone else.
      
      “The MAFIAA ilk have proven repeatedly that they prefer to take legitimate content offline than have it compete with them, for example the meegasong.”
      
      UMG removed it based on a number of contractually specified criteria. It wasn’t removed using DMCA.
      Some of the artists featured also denied giving consent to Mega for using their likeness, which Ira Rothken countered by filing suit against UMG claiming otherwise.
      So its far from how you describe and has never seen a courtroom to prove legitimacy in either Mega or UMGs favor.
      
      “Dajaz1 didn’t manage get his domian back for a year even though he proved that he didn’t host infringing content”
      
      He didn’t prove that at all, the case didn’t make it to court, go read up on the case.
      
      “and that the links that were on there to supposed infringing content were uploaded by either the artists or the record labels.”
      
      Some links were likely uploaded by authorized parties but others were not, which is why there were extensions, waiting for copyright holders to confirm.
      Personally, I think those delays were too long and that the Judge shouldn’t have approved more than two extensions.
      
      “Anyway most of the links google have taken down don’t contain infringing content.”
      
      If the links didn’t meet the criteria regarding infringement on copyright, Google wouldn’t remove them. Have you had any experience communicating with Google and issuing DMCA’s to them ?? Because it doesn’t appear that you have any experience or idea what you’re talking about.
      
      Google are not in the habit of removing anything that gets sent to them.
      
      “Torrent files DO NOT contain any copyrighted information, the only copyright on a torrent file is by the creator of the torrent file. The actual data is held on the users computers and not on any of the websites.”
      
      A website linking users to that data can be sued for “assisting copyright infringement”. It’s got nothing to do with “my file only contains 1′s and 0′s” or whatever nonsense some websites/people use to describe the end result of infringement.
      
      “The reason people don’t counter DMCA notices is because it is far easier to re upload a file than go through the legal bullshit to get something re enabled.”
      
      The reason people don”t issue counter DMCA’s is that by doing so, they would have to swear under penalty of perjury that they either own the rights to the materials or that their use is legal (fair use for example). It’s got nothing to do with legal costs because you would have to have a case to consider risking the monies in the first place. Sending a Counter DMCA swearing that you own the rights or have used the materials in compliance with fair use for example, isn’t going to work out to well for a person come their day in court if and their Counter DMCA declaration is obviously false.

      even communism tracks value; “means” and the difference between “needs” and “wants” are much easier to track using a system that measures value than by trying to use, say, the means of a carpenter as the base unit of your scale.

I dont think its always stupidity, maybe they are merely being more cynical and savvy that we give em credit for….IMDb list a blockbuster, but it has a shit rating and a shit review at the bottom…what better way to censor bad press.

All censorship is wrong, and I do mean all, if you dont like it dont watch it, listen to it or talk about it. Censorship [and prohibition] doesn’t work and is counterproductive,
Be honest, Evil Dead is a shit film, but they cencored it [back in the VHS days] and it became a classic….which reminds me, they said vieo piracy was killing the movie industry….they were just as wrong then as they are now.
Byte Master

All that needs to happen is a torrent of DMCA (OCILLA) counter-notices, in a program backed by EFF should the copyright claimant decide to take the matter to court. Of course the EFF gets to decide which claims they will back, which should be in the ‘obvious’ category (bird song recorded outside == copyrighted music) etc. Once a certain claimant starts to pop up regularly, get at them for perjury (and yes, you can go to jail for that).
- Cat
  
  If SOPA had passed, it specified that there were no penalties for false claims unless the accused could prove that the complaint was made while knowing that it was incorrect. Obviously impossible. So, the website (guilty until proven innocent) has to prove a negative, that they didn’t infringe. Until, of course, Big Business finds another object/image/statement/made up fact that is an infringement and site goes down again.

I’m reminded of Disney going after party’s themed to Disney. I mean there was a time that wearing fancy dress to a theme party was considered promotion. Heck they even sell official Disney costumes for kids & adults alike, what do they think we’re going to do buy them/rent them & NOT go out in them.

Mobile DJ’s were ignored & allowed under being a free promotional outlet also because it was too difficult/costly to monitor but now their even starting to find & fine Dj’s for what they play.

It’s about time politicians were made aware of all the craziness surrounding “copyright” claims then they MAY finally see the industries for what they are… nothing but money grabbing, uncaring, selfish babies that missed out on growing up in the real world thanks to be handed a silver spoon for life at birth.

basically, they are more concerned with getting content removed than they are with making sure that it should be removed. i must admit that i find it hard to understand how they manage to do this when, according to the industries, it ‘only needs a filter put in place’. as far as i am concerned, ISPs should have those filters in place to remove whatever the industries dont remove for themselves. what a much better, cleaner, more enjoyable internet we would have!

They should start sueing cinemas, so noone will be able to watch, get to know, or pirate their creative pieces of art.

Some notices are related to user comments, people announcing that a new movie is available for download, or directing readers to the content. Movie studios also file takedowns in order to remove negative reviews, often by claiming copyright/lack of permission on media content related to the movie.

This sounds to me like someone trying to kill some chickens with a rotary gun except that they are drunk, falls over a lot, and bullets fly totally everywhere.

DMCA take-downs are totally out of control and here they are shooting themselves in their own feet. I could not believe that I read that they did a take-down on IMDB when this is the one site every movie maker wants to be listed on and some of them don’t find that at all easy.

Well go ahead and fire off your DMCA take-down notices by the millions on everything everywhere that mentions a few words you don’t like but everyone else will only think you are drunk, crazy or stupid.

It is interesting that they dont even attempt at having site filters to eliminate the possibilities of false positives being flagged on even a small number of ‘approved’ sites.

While nobody really cares that where available, the IMDB pages for films and programmes contain direct sales links on Amazon for the media in question, what is disturbing is that delisting causes harm to production staff. IMDB where possible gives full credits for the films and programmes it lists many of whom use IMDB as an independently validated extension of their CV/Resume’ with their agent/cntact details available for those with ‘pro’ subscriptions to the site.

I wish piracy was destroying the Hollywood studios, then i would feel like i am doing my part to bring them down but alas we all know sharing is not doing them any damage at all and is probably encouraging many to buy dvd’s and blurays and sadly go to the cinema..

good work Google, thank you. i suspect the movies requested for take downs (IMDb, etc.) were because they were getting bad reviews from people who saw them, and the companies wanted to suck more money from people for crappy movies.

About the Hulu thing, AFAIK they have contracts with the entertainment companies to be able to put up their stuff on their page, right? So, if an entertainment company does what the UFC did to Hulu, aren’t they liable of damaging Hulu’s business by preventing them from showing the content they rightfully have licences to showcase?

What is hilarious is use their own DMCA system against them.
For example I tested this out couple months ago, I filed a DMCA takedown notice against an Avengers trailer on youtube. and youtube removed it! without filing a counter dmca.

Go google DMCA takedown notice example, copy and paste it and fill it out and EVERYONE start filing troll DMCA takedown notices directly against RIAA/MPAA member corporations. Go to https://www.torproject.org/ if you are worried about your IP address. And file the DMCA notices via TOR.

The funny part is it works! so far 3 out of 5 MPAA sites with clips and trailers I’ve sent dmca notice to have taken them down, 2 have after 3 weeks put the content back up.

So troll the fuck out of these government retards with their own system until we clog it up and force them to change it!

Who cares? Every single one of the items mentioned is unprecedented shit.

I mean who cares about those movies and/or content, they are dumb, loud, insulting American Empire propaganda. Why would anyone want to “pirate” such shit in the first place.

Seriously, please take them down as soon as possible, the sooner that shit that passes as entertainment is “forgotten” the better for the human race!

Don’t pirate shit, you dumb jackasses. Who cares what Warner does, those cocksuckers haven’t made a cent from me, since I paid to see Bladerunner.

Why?

Cause all they [any studio] make is propaganda in service of Empire. Why the fuck would I support that, legally or illegally?

How fucken stupid can you get. This hole piracy argument is stupid. If you were arguing that what was been pirated is for the good of humanity, then you would have an argument.

But how is a ridiculously pathetic remake of a fine Swedish movie, good for humanity? How is pirating that piece of shit good for all of us? How is it good for the internet?

I think pirates need to pull their heads out of their ass and users should acquire some self respect, let alone good fucking taste, as for the copyright holders;

you are only as good as your content and your content stinks so you won’t be long for this world.

  …I like you, you know that? You’re a really funny guy, I think I can get along with you…
  Unless you were actually serious about that crock pot of shit in which case…
  American Empire Propaganda? Really? I mean, the only movie I’ve seen lately that even starts to resemble optimism for the American government is Transformer’s and Micheal Bay’s boner for the military, and that’s not even distributed by Warner.
  
  Who are you to tell others what is or isn’t worthy entertainment? I for one love the Warner Bros. backlog. Their dedication to preserving their animation is stunning and some of their recent films I have to applaud as actual art (including Inception, Sucker Punch, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close)
  
  And finally… everyone does foreign remakes. Deal with it. About 70% of what Bollywood and South African market makes are foreign remakes.
  
  Now if you weren’t being serious with that bullshit then I leave you with some advice…
  Sarcasm and mockery is really hard to convey with only text. Might want to keep that in mind next time.

Anyone else think maybe they’re deliberately taking down their own content to artificially create this huge loss of revenue they’ve been lying about all these years, so they have more reason to cry to Congress about how the “pirates” are hurting their business?

IDK I always thought pirating stuff was a form of advertisement and try before you buy. With less information coming my way, I’m sure I’ll be unaware of material.. ohh well!
