    Should Websites Charge A Fee To Process Copyright Takedowns?

    http://torrentfreak.com/should-websi...edowns-120528/

    h33t.com is a Canadian company hosted on Canadian backbone has decided to charge Americans who refuse to file the proper Canadian paper work and instead expect them to honor american DMCA requests.

    Should more foreign companies push back on the obvious over extension of US laws.

      Nope, that's insane. The content should not be there in the first place and it's the site owner's responsibility.

              the courts have not ruled that way yet

              That argument is at best an interpretation of the law

              and if fact a couple of trademark cases have ruled the exact opposite.

                  it not even the site owners responsibility under US law that what the safe harbor is all about.

                  And considering that mininova lost their own countries safe harbor by choosing to comply with DMCA notices

                  That an insanely stupid position to take.

                  You can still get the content taken down by filling out the appropriate CANADIAN paper work.

                  Why should foreign countries be expected to follow US laws

                  Do you follow IRAQ anti porn laws.

                          Good idea.

                          It would cut all the FAKE DMCA senders, competitors with bad faith, and shitty losers with a LLC charging 500 bucks per month to their clients to send mass dmca's with an ILLEGAL script, which in 99% is not precise and create troubles in vain, sending false possitives, no matter what some bull-dog/pit-bull junkie or Mr. Verde say.

                          Period.

                              No, but I think there should be a BIG fine for filing fake requests... I've received a lot of those and never used copyright content without a licence.

                                  I agree. If you're hosting unlawful material, you should cease doing so and not demand that that legitimate owner pay you to stop unlawfully distributing their property. The site claims the rights holder is asking them to something, something which takes tjeir time. That is wrong. In fact, the holder is asking them to STOP doing something, specifically to stop being unimproved in unlawful conduct.

                                  At the same time, people making false and particularly reckless or intentionally false claims should be held responsible. So I'd say steep penalties for reckless false claims. Much smaller for reasonable but mistaken claims.

                                      again you can still file the appropriate CANADIAN Takedown process

                                      selling porn violates the laws of iraq, so should you stop selling porn everywhere because of that.

                                      well it should be equal

                                      say 150k per person who was denied access.

                                          Stolen property violates the law of Canada, the other 164 nations who are signatories to the Berne convention, and most of the twenty or so (mostly tiny) countries that haven't signed Berne yet. So yeah, a Canadian country should stop participating in something that's unlawful under Canadian and international law.

                                          Every country recognizes that programmers, artists and authors, just like carpenters and bakers, own what they make. Pretty much only you, you alone, think it's okay for you to take my hard earned work product for your selfish, lazy, little freeloading self.

                                              Sure, websites should also charge copyright holders for any costs involved in stealing their property and hosting it.

                                                  Exactly.

                                                  The problem is always the same. When they try to fight something that "could or could not be illegal", they use illegal methods or resources to fight it, and they OVER-REACT.

                                                      berne convention does not require foreign countries to obey US laws it requires that they recognize the registration of copyright.

                                                      The laws you have to obey are still that foreign countries.

                                                      canada has far greater fair dealing/fair use rights in part because of our piracy tax

                                                      Canada "contributory infringement" statutes are substantially weaker then the american counter part.

                                                      We have a complete different takedown process then your DMCA takedown process.

                                                      And i have repeatedly said you can always use that process for free.

                                                          What's to stop these sites from just uploading the content themselves to extort money from the copyright holders? And per instance? It's crazy!

The US should stop doing business with any country that will not honor our property rights... and content is property. Cut off the aid seemingly every country has their hand out for, ban their citizens from visiting and make it illegal to do business with that country.

                                                                          See how quickly freetards change their tune then.

His argument is that he can use anything he wants under the guise that it's "fair use" because he swaps out the moaning and groaning of a typical porn soundtrack with some Kenny G smooth jazz. He thinks that makes it a "parody". He doesn't know what a parody is. Dumb games are what he thinks will pass as a legitimate legal defense when it comes time to go to trial.

The professors of any law school would mop the floor with you. I would pay to see that train wreck.

                                                                                              I'd hate to see you go to prison, unable to defend yourself... and unable to afford a legitimate defense counsel.

                                                                                                      All this "we cannot possibly be expected to know what's on our website" bullshit would end immediately.

                                                                                                                      See how quickly freetards change their tune then.

It's infringement. Plus, "Fair Use" only applies if it's a "Portion" of the work. Anyone can bend the meaning of the law to their own will, but until you are a judge on a case, I don't believe you are qualified to publicly state what is or isn't the Law in any regard.

                                                                                                                                  $5 per DMCA no matter what+ $1 for every day the content stays up past 24 hours beyond when valid notice is initially made. After 30 days make it $10 a day. After 90 days make it $100 a day. After 180 days make it $1000 a day. After 365 days make it $10,000 a day. If the business is located overseas allow the copyright holder to seize any ad or other revenue due to the infringing company. So if the infringer is in Russia and refuses to honor the DMCA, le tthe copyright holder seize any ad revenue from US companies which would otherwise be payable to the Russian infringer. If your business is built on mass infringement and burying your head in the sand then this will make you pay for that.

                                                                                                                                  On the other hand if you file a fake DMCA there should be a automatic $1,000 fine for each one.

                                                                                                                                  I'm talking US laws here only of course.

It's not like countries make the oil. We should be making checks out to the dinosaurs, but no, oil is a government protected monopoly that would never survive without the government's help because oil folks aren't smart enough to find other ways to make money.

                                                                                                                                                                      $5 per DMCA no matter what+ $1 for every day the content stays up past 24 hours beyond when valid notice is initially made. After 30 days make it $10 a day. After 90 days make it $100 a day. After 180 days make it $1000 a day. After 365 days make it $10,000 a day. If the business is located overseas allow the copyright holder to seize any ad or other revenue due to the infringing company. So if the infringer is in Russia and refuses to honor the DMCA, le tthe copyright holder seize any ad revenue from US companies which would otherwise be payable to the Russian infringer. If your business is built on mass infringement and burying your head in the sand then this will make you pay for that.

                                                                                                                                                                      On the other hand if you file a fake DMCA there should be a automatic $1,000 fine for each one.

                                                                                                                                                                      I'm talking US laws here only of course.

I own the intangible property encoded in the DVD I sold you, and I am within my rights, according to section 106 of the United Sates Copyright Code, to reproduce and distribute the work as I please due to the time, creativity and money that went into producing my work. You as the owner of a purchased DVD merely own the physical object containing my created work and have no such rights.

I own the intangible property encoded in the DVD I sold you, and I am within my rights, according to section 106 of the United Sates Copyright Code, to reproduce and distribute the work as I please due to the time, creativity and money that went into producing my work. You as the owner of a purchased DVD merely own the physical object containing my created work and have no such rights.

The welfare component of your argument is similar to the socialist idea of eliminating private property for the presumed public good.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      If i buy a chair i don't have to ask the chair manufacture for permission to use that chair in any way i want.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      I could even use it as a model to design a replacement chair.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      so you are the one who is actually arguing against property rights when you argue for copyright.
