The actual takedown request: https://lumendatabase.org/notices/77402454

Looks like the bulk of the content from this reporter is not infringing, the lack of criminal penalties for these abuses is definitely a disappointing oversight.

This is not by any means accidental.

I think the simplest way to fix the DMCA system is to make it so that if you send too many false takedowns, you lose the right to use it entirely.

“OF Creator” sounds like “sanitation engineer”. As though garbage man and stripper were less than honorable jobs.

The paranoid conclusion is that you need to name all your files random strings to avoid a DMCA scattershot.

Which OF creator?
