Several indie productions are affected, including an art-focused NGO, an award-winning short movie and a royalty free stock footage company. quote:Tens of millions of DMCA-style notices are sent to online services every week complaining about copyright infringement. While most are accurate, some contain errors. is this the entura copyright lawyer

reddit liker posted:https://torrentfreak.com/anti-piracy-group-hits-indie-creators-for-using-the-word-pixels-150808/ No. That would suggest the people sending these notices have law degrees. Or are people, rather than a script.

DMCA needs serious reform or repeal, for one there has to be a penalty for false flagging or irresponsibly broad mass flags.

I always thought that copyright is anti-capitalist. If another company can produce it for less, then why doesn't that happen? Copy-right is some government controlled communist horse poo poo.

well if they remove these other movies from public view, Adam Sandler's Pixels will look that bit better.

Copy-right is some government controlled communist horse poo poo. In theory, copyright isn't anti-capitalist, it's just giving some people a fair chance. For example, let's say I make a new soft drink and start selling it. Coke looks at it, immediately copies the formula, then sells it as DRINK+. They have a much better ability to sell and distribute DRINK+ than I do DRINK, so I get hosed. With copyright, I originally had 7 years to do it on my own. Coke couldn't do poo poo about it. However, that's in theory. In practice people kept expanding copyright law and it's become such a jumbled mess of poo poo that NO one can handle or untangle it. It's like the tax code on steroids. As it is now, it's entirely anti-capitalist because EVERYTHING becomes locked up. We can't just go "eh, gently caress copyright law" without loving over a lot of good people and breaking a lot of stupid poo poo.

A retailer or content site has to respond to a DMCA, but in theory the content creator can sue for $150k per instance + damages if it is shown to be fraudulent. I'm not holding my breath but it'd be nice if this was the case that broke the camel's back. Some people have had to pay out the nose or do humiliating things in order to avoid those huge fines.
