Warner Brothers blames faulty DMCA takedowns on their computers

article published on 14 November, 2011

After a revelation last week of their abusing the DMCA takedown process, Warner Brothers went into damage control mode on Friday. Their improper DMCA takedowns, which involved files where Warner didn't own the copyrights, came to light in their case against cyberlocker service Hotfile.

Blame the computers and not on the people using their computers. I wonder, would this defense work for Jammie Thomas-Rasset?

Oh, it's not 'practical' for them to check 'every' file for accuracy?

So now that we have the capability to DNA link a suspect to a crime, we shouldn't run the test because it's not practical? "You know judge, there's just too many steps to the test & we've got better things to do with our time..."

That aroma I just stepped in sure doesn't smell like love to me.

Isn't it amazing that the corporations voices, and our heads of governments voices ring at exactly the same tone? They've both developed a keen ability to lie to customers/citizens, and both have the money and power not to be affected.

I like how convenient they've made it to sue honest people though, well it was your IP address that infringed so... Even though the ip addresses are dynamic and sometimes re-assigned.

This whole thing boils down to if you owned the gun, even if someone else used it to kill without your knowledge, your convicted of murder. Its ludicrous. Too bad it doesn't work the same way for corporations like Warner bros.

The real shame is that corporations are considered "persons" and they get all the rights of any other person, but they are excluded from the punishments given to persons. If I were to kill someone by giving them toxic chemicals and telling them it was medicine, I would get a manslaughter or 2nd degree murder charge...Pfizer does this all the time and they get off without punishment. They are even allowed to market drugs known to cause brain damage to children...even when the drugs are meant to do nothing except treat acne or something.

I find this richly funny! I would bet it's either the bit torrent client or the files they downloaded with those clients that are causing the problems.

Hehe yep, funny as hell...
