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

I think it says automated takedown requests, not automated reactions to those requests.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The reactions are legal compliance

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?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

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.
