Wow...I can't believe you're still posting on here. I knew you weren't very smart, but this is just insane of you.
I really feel sorry for you gideongallery. You are making the mistake of a lifetime.

One of robbie friends may want to tell robbie the consequence of his little threat.
here is the form letter i would pass on to the pirate sites

Dear Copyright holder
Thank your supplying us with your DMCA compliment take down request. Unfortunately {piracysite} is not a US company. As mini nova found out foreign companies accepting DMCA notices are not allowed to claim US safe harbor protection and in fact will lose whatever safe harbor protection their own countries laws provide because of potential differences between the processes. {linkToMininovaCourtCase}
If you would prefer to continue to use the DMCA process thru a voluntary Contractual basis we would be willing to do so under the following conditions.
1. You extend us blanket immunity for any copyright violation as per the safe harbor provision
2. You agree to put any content owned/will be owned by your company into the public domain if the take down is invalid either because the content is licensed or published under any current or future fair use rights.
Otherwise feel free to use the appropriate {piracySitesCountry} takedown process and we will gladly comply
|
BTW robbie you might want to ask your lawyer what the liability would be for all your previously "invalid" DMCA notices if you implictly admitted those take downs were invalid by using the {piracySitesCountries} take down process after getting that form auto responses.
especially if every single takedown requires you to specify that
A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material
in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or
the law.
