Pino's DMCA Crusade! Rendering bad ideas?

[generaleskimo]

The problem is your girlfriend, the false DMCA'er.

[CousinoMacul]

Yeah, you have to watch out for those nutjobs hypothetically named Gary.

[rozeboosje]

Johnny, I think you need to read the 'small print' in my idea. I address these concerns. I definitely would NOT expect anybody in the Network to help out with a claim from, say, Sony, or even Gary who, we all know, is deadly serious about suing people. I also make it quite clear that participants will have to review the videos they are asked to help reinstate and should feel 100Pct convinced that the claim is fraudulent before offering assistance. No quibble

[SpinozasPsyche]

Well, yes and no. Don't get me wrong. I'm really glad that this topic is being debated! But like... how can you be 100% sure that the other party won't sue? We know Gary would... but how about Joseph Smith from Wisconsin? Or Janet Lakewood from Colorado?

Perhaps there is a way to implement your idea, but at this point, I think that this is a major hole in the theory.

[rozeboosje]

And then what? How is Gary's lolsuit against you proceeding? ;-)

You're completely working on the wrong premise here. As if there is some kind of obligation involved with signing up to this initiative. Like I pointed out already, if someone DOES join the Network, and they are approached by someone looking for help, I fully expect them to spend a lot of time investigating the video, what is in it, and what is known about the claimant (more)

[rozeboosje]

before committing to anything.

Can you ever be 100% sure? No of course not. But I would happily file a counter notification against, to just pick a name out of a hat, Nephilimfree (assuming I was satisfied that the DMCA was false).

What is he going to do? He hasn't got the financial wherewithal NOR the gumption to really pursue legal action.

It all depends on what I know about Joseph Smith or Janet Lakewood. If I don't know enough (more)

[rozeboosje]

I would obviously back off.

But say a claimant says he speaks for a non-existent company and provides as his details the name of a long dead friend of Charles Darwin's? Yeah. I wouldn't hesitate a moment. Call me reckless. LOL

[NaomiChambers]

Can I troll this video?

[IceysMoment]

Legal docs contain sensitive personal information and must be protected for obvious concerns of fraud and identity theft, as well as stalking.

I use my "stage name" and a random address when I fill the counters out, and I will continue to do so.

I don't think a court would give out a perjury charge for expecting confidentiality and reasonably protecting yourself from a very unprofessional "legal" form that puts your personal info all over the world wide web.

Partners should get a PO box.

[NermalsChannel]

Good points. Anyone considering participating should consider them.

[Aspartame69]

Agreed, theres a lot of nut job personalities in new jersey. They mostly exist in one guys head, called gary, hypothetically.

[SpinozasPsyche]

Yes, hypothetically, of course.

[KasparHauser4]

Good thinking!
