                  "when i got to send files across the globe i use mega upload"

                  looks very much like a scripted endorsement, may not have explicitly authorized it for a music performance

                  but if i paid for that commercial speech, got the right to distributable in whole or in part

                  clipping parts into the song would in fact be perfectly legal.

                      How is someone complaining after the fact that they didn't know their likeness would be used in this way a *copyright* issue?

                          pretty obvious that these people did not even know wtf megaupload is and it was a paid endorsement.

                          that you thought they were doing it because they supported megaupload is fucking hilarious.

                          what a shock that a file sharing site started by a convicted criminal might have been less than honest with these celebs.

                                  it not that the point DMCA takedown is ONLY copyright issues using it because you don't like the implied endorsement is something that should have been settled with a lawsuit not censorship.

                                      do you know what endorsement means

                                      en·dorse·ment (n-dôrsmnt)
                                      n.
                                      1. The act of endorsing: The athlete was highly paid to do endorsements of products.
                                      2. The signature on a check, contract, instrument, or other document endorsing it.
                                      3. Approbation; sanction; support: The candidates competed for the union's endorsement.
                                      4. An amendment or addition to an insurance policy, as to cover special circumstances.
                                      it paid support but it still support.

                                              you might want to look in the mirror

                                                      So a bunch of thieving pirate douchebags did something without consent?

                                                      That is shocking.

                                                          That's my point. It is nothing to do with copyright and should not have been handled with a DMCA.

Mega Upload prolly gave them money to say they used the service, not knowing what it was. Artists gave their endorsements, and then found out after the fact what the service is actually used for, and are now trying to retract their endorsements. But I though that these Actors and Recording Artists were smart enough to speak out about world issues and such???

Mega Upload prolly gave them money to say they used the service, not knowing what it was. Artists gave their endorsements, and then found out after the fact what the service is actually used for, and are now trying to retract their endorsements. But I though that these Actors and Recording Artists were smart enough to speak out about world issues and such???

                                                                                                                      There is no statutory damage provision in the DMCA for sending false takedown notices, but the sender of the false notice is liable for damages/harm that can be proven by the parties damaged by such a false notification under § 512(f).

                                                                                                                      Here's the statutory language:

                                                                                                                      (f) Misrepresentations. - Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section ?

                                                                                                                      (1) that material or activity is infringing, or

                                                                                                                      (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification,

                                                                                                                      shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.
                                                                                                                      In this instance, Megaupload has already responded with a lawsuit, asking the court for (among other things) injunctions against the defendants that would prevent them from suing Megaupload over the song, filing further take-down notices in connection with the song/video, damages (subject to proving such), attorney's fees and other costs associated with the lawsuit.

                                                                                                                      Seems to me that a more appropriate way for these artists (and/or their representatives) to pursue satisfaction here, if they really believe their likenesses were misappropriated, would have been a "right of publicity" claim.

                                                                                                                      I don't know what all the facts are here, of course, but on its face, this doesn't sound like a copyright issue, at all.
