Total Wipes Decides The Word 'Download' Means Infringement, Issues DMCA Takedown Loaded With Non-Infringing URLs
from the and-the-answer-is-'none.'-none-more-stupid. dept
Germany-based Total Wipes -- infringement cop to the stars (who don't care how idiotic their representation makes them appear) -- is still pursuing its unstated motto of "Quantität über Qualität." Why send targeted requests when you can just dump a bunch of unrelated URLs into a DMCA takedown request and let Google sort it all out?TorrentFreak reports that Total Wipes is at it again, actively pursuing a lifetime achievement award in asinine takedown requests. It starts out by mistakenly effing with the EFF, generally not considered to be a good idea when you can't be bothered to uphold your end of the DMCA's sworn statement.
‘Protecting’ an album called “Cigarettes” on Mona Records, Total Wipes sent Google a notice containing not a single infringing link. Unbelievably one of the URLs targeted an article on how to use PGP on the Mac. It was published by none other than the EFF.You'll notice that 'protecting' is surrounded by scare quotes, as should be anything Total Wipes "pursues" with its misfiring shotgun of a "business model." This particular takedown request appears to have achieved maximum stupidity with its 55 swings of the URL, none of which make contact. But it gets so much worse.
Going after alleged pirates of the album “In To The Wild – Vol.7″ on Aborigeno Music, Total Wipes offer their pièce de résistance, the veritable jewel in their crown. The notice, which covers 95 URLs, targets no music whatsoever. Instead it tries to ruin the Internet by targeting the download pages of some of the most famous online companies around.We've seen various rights holders' self-appointed spokesmen attempt to portray the word "free" as synonymous with "infringement." Here, Total Wipes does the same, only with the word "download." Here are but a few of the 95 URLs "targeted" by Total Wipes' anti-piracy "software."
http://www.oovoo.com/downloadA look at Total Wipes' "profile" at Google's Transparency Report shows the company has an appalling hit rate. It may actually have paying clients, but they're barely being served. If Google wasn't compelled to treat every incoming request as legitimate, in order to avoid further condemnation and/or potential Congressional action, it would have booted this farcical "music group" long ago.

Pretty much everything Total Wipes says about its anti-piracy "service" is either laughable or provably false.
Our carefully own created script uses the info you provide to deeply scan a vast range of IP networks, search engines, social sites, and other infringing locations for illegal instances of your content. Following a large group of data, our internal spider's scripts identify all links as valid or not, beginning the removal process. A consistently action of removing illegal instances of your content from all platforms drives higher sales.If you manage to work your way past the broken, secondhand English, you're left with things like these:
"carefully… created script"Really?
"internal spider's scripts identify all links as valid or not"Well, obviously not. Unless "valid" simply means "live," rather than "infringing."
"removing illegal instances of your content… drives higher sales"If someone could just introduce a little bit of evidence to back up this frequent assertion, that would be great. Providing legal alternatives that are reasonably priced and easy to use drives sales better than stumbling around the internet on your "own created spider," asking Google to remove multiple instances of non-infringement. Artists who have willingly associated with Total Wipes' inadvertent argument for harsher bogus takedown sanctions aren't doing themselves any favors. In their names, Total Wipes is repeatedly driving its anti-piracy clown car up to Google's door and unloading takedown after takedown loaded with more misses than hits.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Natural result of a one-sided law
If the DMCA was intended to be even remotely balanced, then there would be hard penalties for sending such obviously false claims, but as it stands, it's working exactly as it was intended to, completely favoring one side, at the cost of the other.
[ link to this | view in chronology ]
Re: Natural result of a one-sided law
Actually, it means that those in power actually WANT the abuse to happen. Things being abused will happen regardless of a penalty being applied.
The absence of a penalty is to directly facilitate abuse. Our elected officials are so corrupt they don't even hide it, or at best hide behind the emperors new clothes.
We are lost as hell and this law is proof of it.

Re: Re:
Yep, I doubt he thought that far ahead. As long as *he* can visit a few sites, everyone must be able to, forgetting that "piracy" is a worldwide thing, not contained by artificial borders and restrictions. That's even before we get into the attempts to attack legal services for daring to service the needs of their customers when they are available (the regular attacks of Spotify, for example). Not to mention the differing definitions of "affordable" (no, forcing people to buy an album so they can access some "album only" tracks is not "affordable"). Plus, I'm just thinking of music there - it gets a lot more expensive and fragmented once you start looking at other media.
Oh well, at least they're pushing this kind of misdirection rather than the "if you dare criticise the broken methods and business models you must be a thief" that's so beloved of the small minded.

Re: A question
The problem here is the "knowingly". If it was all bot-generated, was it done knowingly?
If Google was really brave they'd start ignoring companies that do this, and rely on non-DMCA arguments in those cases. But that would be a huge risk to take. I think your injunction idea is better. The one sending the notification is required to state that the information is accurate. Even if that part is not covered by the penalty of perjury, it's still there, and I think a court might take notice of it if it was repeatedly abused by the same people.
[ link to this | view in chronology ]
Re: Re: A question
If it's bot-generated, is it even a valid DMCA takedown notice? Those have to have an attestation that there is a good faith belief that the material is copyrighted and the copyright is held by the complainant, etc etc, and a bot cannot hold a belief.

Re: Re: Re: A question
That or the link holders should have cause of action against Total Wipes. Someone had to send it. Even the most minor due diligence would have caught this. There isn't even the remote possibility that this is "good faith belief" of infringement. It may not be perjury, but it should be actionable for false representations, unjust enrichment, torturous interference, and possible some other things some EFF lawyer could make stick. We need a good precedent on the side of innocent users.

You are assuming that somebody capable of spotting the mistakes actually looked at the list.

There are millions upon millions of notices sent, and you guys always focus on a handful of questionable ones. What about the legitimate ones?

Which would be pointless; as multiple people have pointed out, the text is worded such that it's all but impossible to actually punish someone for sending a bogus DMCA claim, and court after court always seem to bend over backwards as soon as the ones sending the claims utter the magic words 'My mistake', even if the 'mistake' is this glaring.
Now, would it be nice if Google spent some of that obscene amounts of money they have trying to change the law such that they, and everyone else wouldn't have to deal with insane abuses of it like this? Absolutely, but being a business, they'd likely only do that if they thought the costs would be outweighed by the benefits of doing so, and at this point it's easier for them to just wade through the crap that gets thrown their way rather than go legal over it.

If a system is working, then there's no need to comment on it, it's only the parts that aren't that need attention. Why exactly do people throw such fits over TD and others pointing out when the system is being abused like this, with clearly bogus claims being made via the system? Most people who listen to music/watch movies pay for their music/movies I'd guess, yet somehow I doubt you'd think it acceptable if those that don't were ignored as the 'minority'.
What about the legitimate ones?
What about them? If they're legitimate, there's no need to comment on them.

If the ones sending the DMCA claims want to 'punish infringement', then they'd be better off going after the actual infringing sites and/or posters, not sending claims to search engines.

Probably because TD is more focused on making piracy and or copyright infringement redundant or useless by offering better options, rather than playing a completely pointless and futile game of whack-a-pirate.

Re: Re: Re: Re:
You do realise that someone violating his rights doesn't give him the right to violate the rights of other innocent parties, yeah? that's the point.
The owners of the IP in question here have every right to defend it - if and only if they don't violate the rights of others while doing so. In this case, an agent of the IP holder (Total Wipes are not a rightsholder themselves) attempted to violate the legal operations of up to 95 other innocent parties. That's unacceptable.
Sorry if this is too complicated for your tiny mind to comprehend - your rights do not trump everyone else's just because you own some "IP". You don't get to disrupt everyone else's business just because you're throwing a mardy fit over yours losing some potential sales.
But, in between pointing out how horrifically bad your heroes are acting and pointing out ways to reduce piracy without raping the rights of everyone else, your simple mind can't comprehend that this is not a defence of piracy.
Want us to criticise pirates? Fine, consider them criticised. That doesn't absolve the assholes you defend of their massive guilt and misdeeds. To use the usual flawed physical analogy - if people are shoplifting from your store, you're free to go after the shoplifters. That doesn't give you the right to lock up random innocent shoppers or rob the bank next door to make back your losses.

Re: Re: Re: Re:

If the system is meant to reduce infringement, then you may be right, it would seem it's not working.
Now, the question is, what should be done about it? Shall we continue to ratchet the penalties ever upward, based upon the idea that if they could only be raised high enough, that it would magically eliminate all, or a majority of infringement, and turn all, or a majority of former pirates into paying customers? A tactic that has failed spectacularly to date?
Or perhaps we should focus on why people pirate, completely ignore the ones that will never pay as a waste of time and money, and instead work to turn those that might pay, if only they were provided with a decent way to do so, into paying customers?
One of these has failed to date to work to reduce piracy, while the other has been shown to be quite effective at reducing piracy, which would you suggest should be pursued?
TD only cares about one side, but not the other.
Like, oh I dunno, how you apparently don't care, and in fact object to the attention given to those sending clearly bogus claims? That kind of one-sided focus? Before accusing another of bias, you should probably check to make sure yours isn't showing quite so much.
You'll never condemnation of those who intentionally violate the rights of others.
On the contrary, this article and others like it are focused on just that, one party violating the rights of another by attempting to claim ownership of something that isn't their's. That it is supposedly 'accidental' is no excuse, they use tools that they know are flawed, and deserve to be called out when those tools fail and impact innocent people.
Oh, right, you only care about the other violation of rights, in which case you're also wrong there too, as when it's come up, Mike has stated multiple times that he thinks piracy is wrong and he doesn't support it.
But if a rightholder carelessly makes a mistake in fighting back against a sea of those who intentionally violate his rights, look out.
Umm, yes, and again I fail to see why you are so opposed to this. If someone, even if they are completely well meaning and intend only to go after the guilty, ends up targetting and affecting innocent bystanders, why should they not be called out on it? Would you prefer it just be brushed under the rug and ignored because it's so 'rare'?
Before you rush to say 'yes', remember the point I brought up before, if the majority of people who listen to music and watch movies get them from legal sources, as is almost certainly the case, that would piracy the minority, so if 'accidental' collateral damage is okay for those 'fighting the scourge of piracy' because it's so small compared to the 'legitimate' takedown claims, then piracy itself should also be ignored as well, as it's minor in comparison to legal purchases.
Unless of course you yourself are exhibiting a double standard, where you only care about the violations of piracy, and don't care about the violations of those attempting to combat it.

What makes you think that it's Techdirt's position that they should? This isn't a binary thing. To say that the DMCA process is being abused by those issuing takedowns doesn't in any way imply that legitimate infringement should go unpunished.
"Those people engage in "abuse after abuse," yet Techdirt never calls for their heads."
Perhaps because it's not necessary. There are already lots of very well financed voices that handle that. Techdirt is paying attention to the fact that these companies (unlike pirates, I would add) are harming a large part of society in general. It seems like the sort of thing that's worth decrying.

We will never agree in a short period on fixing the DMCA, we all have our own deeply held beliefs. A much more simple temporary patch that no one should object to is adding a fine for a bogus request.
Google spends a huge amount of time, money, effort doing something they should not have to. These notices are assumed to be correct and must be followed ASAP under draconian penalties for not meeting the senders demands. There is nothing that forces those sending the notices to make them better, despite the mounting evidence they are being sent by bots with no verification what so ever. The burden in the system is on the accused to prove innocence ('Merika innocent until proven guilty was a thing).
We have sloppy notices like this on top of scammers abusing the system to make money by stealing cash by making claims and being awarded ad dollars and withdrawing them before anything bad might happen to them.
I think a small $5 a url fee for each incorrect url in a claim would improve things. These companies have "valuable" IP monopolies and $5 is not much compared to the value of the IP. But mounting piles of $5 bills might encourage them to target their notices better.
Nonpayment of the penalties should also allow recipients to ignore future notices until the penalties are paid.
It is a waste of someone elses time & money, and those sending bogus ones should bear those costs.
It is the system we are stuck with, like it or not. The LEAST that should be done is to force it to improve. This fine would result in a vast improvement in the notices, and lower the number of false claims protecting innocent 3rd parties who have done nothing wrong but have the word download in a url or on a page.
Given the sheer number of rejected claims submitted to Google on a daily basis (as the **AA's like to tout the growing number of submissions and ignore the large pile of false claims) Google could afford to roll out Google Fiber and cover the entire US. Call it double motivation for them to improve the notices.

Also it could be fine if someone takes a look at all wrong DMCA sent to Skype (available at chillingeffect) in the last 3 weeks. Unfortunately we are just #4 in that chart.

That doesn't make our anti piracy system a better tool but almost 100% of involved websites won't have any trouble because us at least. As said we have taken down the service and adding all filters needed for avoiding any further trouble.

I guess that's one instance of DMCA abuse the affected politicians would finally disapprove of.

Tortious Interference?
It would be nice to see a party like the EFF sue for it and request as relief an injunction against Total Wipes or ANY company controlled in ANY part by ANY of its principals EVER filing a DMCA notice again.
