Does Hotfile have to allow digital/email delivery of DMCA takedown notices? If not, why not email WB about each hit its system finds, and only accept paper posted notices signed by the CEO, notarized to stop underlings forging the master’s name. Don’t try to get money from the big media, just really inconvenience the humans responsible.

Computers have not evolved to think for themselves and the basic principle of the computer/cpu hasn’t changed much since the first.

So it is actually very simple.

Computers do NOT make mistakes unless it has some hardware failure.

A computer does NOT take any decisions at all. At the (almost) lowest level a computer only ‘decides’ where to read the next instruction based on current instruction and value. That’s all.

All decisions are previously decided by a human being and all programming is done by another human being. The computer is the perfect soldier, it will follow orders to the pixel (more accare than letter).

Conclusion: ALL errors on any computer/automated system ever made (excluding hardware failure) were made by HUMANS.

(don’t know if the MAFIAA can be called human, though)

My one cent.

i think we are behoven to use names like ‘judge dredd x264 (repack).mp4″ &c on every site we use, including government ones. there’ll be so many takedown notices it’ll show the dmca clowns for the zealot aresholes they are, and hopefully, get something done about them.

If it wasn’t for the EFF, the US would be worse than France when it comes to IP. May they own some fukkers.
