| This video: www.mediafire.com So I sent this video to YT. Their reply was swift, and apathetically indifferent. Paraphrasing, 'if you think the dmca is false, file a counter notice'. And sure they are under no obligation to do anything, although they have just demonstrated by their actions that 10 dmcas evidently filed in bad faith with no consideration for fair use (see Lenz v. Universal Music Corp., 572 F.Supp.2d 1150, 1154-55 (ND Cal. 2008)) is not considered a pattern of abuse worthy of the sanctions youtube states that it would implement in the case of abuse. In essence youtube has just demonstrated that they are unwilling to take action against even flagrant abuse of the DMCA and the sanction they threaten, of termination of the account, is one that youtube is either too apathetic or too unwilling to enact. |
