If I'm not mistaken, we adults outnumber the "Children" at least 8 to 1.
Let's kick 'em off the frikkin' internet and tell them to go do their god-damned homework and -then- clean that pig sty of a room!
And...if they get that done, reward them with a nice bedtime story about the four Piggy-Bears, Bill, Hillary, Monica and little Chelsea. Oh! And tonight's chapter is "The Attack of the Sloppy Cigar Monster"..
I have been a proponent of retrograde reform of copyright (Explicit registration and short terms) but even I am coming to the point where I am mad enough about all of this to just see copyright abolished completely.
Copyright no longer serves a purpose worth the "Lawyer Tax" that comes with it.
"The penalties for false DMCA takedowns need to have some serious teeth."
Agreed. And if I ran the world, once someone was found liable for a DMCA false takedown declaration, that entity would have all their current copyrights transferred to the public domain.

You would -THINK- that obvious, repeated, calculated "Avoidance of Service" would be ample grounds for disbarment in any state of the union.
Lawyers, must be held to the VERY HIGHEST standards when it comes to their own use of the -PEOPLE'S- legal system.

Where are the BAR Associations?
Why is there such a wave of clearly unethical, clearly unlawful shake-down actions by attorneys these days?
If they can't police themselves, perhaps it's time WE the People took OUR law back.

Re: Re: Re:

No. Wrong.
Now follow this -carefully- you intransigent clod...
They changed their views because their CUSTOMERS were doing a RIGHTLY DESERVED beatdown on them.
When your CUSTOMERS demand compliance, you either comply -OR- you go out of business.
No amount of political toasting can obscure which side your bread is buttered on.
