Besides, they ARE protected by the DMCA! And he didn't even ask for it to be removed beforehand(unlike your car example, youtube didn't attempt to STEAL his video, just share it with community and would of taken it off if asked). He's looking for easy money. He is just wasting money on lawyers, I feel bad for the guy.  |
You are wrong. If his content was registered on a timely basis, he doesn't have to prove anything in terms of damages. The law provides for statutory damages, up to $150,000 per infringement.
For those of you that think the DMCA is the end all be all in safe harbor protection, look up Perfect 10 v. Google. for an interesting read.
