False DMCA takedown

samedi 11 mai 2019 à 02:00

An Indian record company got a copyright law blog removed from Google's search engine by filing a false DMCA takedown notice.

In theory, there is a punishment for intentionally false takedown notices. This provides little protection, perhaps because it is very hard to prove that any particular false takedown notice was intentional.

I have not read that copyright law blog, but I can tell from its name that it promotes confusion between copyright law and other unrelated laws by lumping them together under the bogus concept of "IP".

The article does a disservice to moral thought by referring to copyright infringement as "pirated material". Piracy means attacking ships; it is very bad. Sharing is good. Let's not refer to the two by the same word.
