      More like “How DMCA is ruining the internet” considering these companies are just complying with the law.

            Its about sending the takedown request in the first place, not the company complying with it. Its an entirely, automated process with no regard to validity

            Yes. So? How is that relevant, if we are talking about companies automating the requests with no regards for their accuracy ruining the internet? Isn’t it a given?

              Because the companies have no say in the matter. It doesn’t matter if they’re accurate or not, they have to comply with the law by taking them down.

                Again, it’s not the companies complying with the takedowns we are complaining about. It’s the companies that automatically send takedowns, with no regard for whether the takedowns are legitimate. These companies are supposed to have a duty to verify their copyright claim is valid before sending a takedown. But no one is enforcing it, so they don’t do it. That is the biggest issue here. We need to punish companies and individuals for sending illegitimate takedown requests.

                  I don’t understand why you just keep repeating yourself

                  These companies are supposed to have a duty to verify their copyright claim is valid before sending a takedown

                  Again, no they don’t. They are legally required to take it down by the DMCA until it’s disproven.

                    How can the company SENDING the takedown request be legally required to take anything down?! They have nothing to take down. If they could take it down themselves, why would they need to send a DMCA takedown request?!

      Yeah, pretty much my takeaway. It’s not OF piracy or even enforcement of copyright, it’s out of control automation.

        Nah this was issue before automation as well. Low paid employees aren’t particularly better than AI here nor do they care to be whe they get paid barely anything.

      We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.
