DMCA & fair use

2015-09-14 20:43:16.695534+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Yay! 9th Circuit Court says Fair Use review must be taken into consideration in DMCA takedown requests.

If they have not, they can be held liable for damages under the DMCA's Section 512(f) — a provision that bars improper use of the takedown procedure but has barely been enforced by the courts.

We need more 512(f) enforcement.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
