The problem is the take down request system is flawed. Theres no easy way of verifying if the takedown is coming from the copyright owner and if you do delay acting on the notice and request the sender prove that they own the material then you become liable for the infringement. [IANAL of course]

This story can still be outdone though:<p>How long until someone writes a virus that mass sends takedowns?
