Court Says DMCA Users Don’t Need To Investigate Sites They Take Down
«
Yet another ridiculous ruling surrounding the always popular DMCA rule. This one says that a copyright holder does not need to “investigate” the site they claim is distributing their copyrighted works, as long as they have a “good faith” belief that the site is infringing.
…
This is particularly scary considering that the RIAA recently admitted (though, after some denial) that they’ve been sending out takedown notices accidentally when no infringement was occurring.
