Reckless DMCA Deindexing Pushes NASA's Artemis Towards Black Hole

This would be a really good case to push the Department of Justice to investigate. There are criminal penalties for false claim of copyright infringement, but only the Attorney General can initiate a case. For knocking NASA PR out of search, that just might be possible. Complain to NASA's PR people. NASA still has some political clout. Enough to take on some Instagrammer.

A lot of these DMCA agents for hire come from the porn industry. Our company has been attacked by Eric Green [1] with baseless defective DMCA notices (including notices to the ISP), to which we have not responded. Our legal counsel (a renown copyright lawyer) advised not respond, because the notices were defective (baseless). He pointed out however, that his cowboy background comes from the porn industry, that he expanded into other areas. The problem is that the copyright law doesn&#x27;t provide for an adequate punishment for unscrupulous DMCA notices.<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Etsy&#x2F;s&#x2F;cQfDsf4nE2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Etsy&#x2F;s&#x2F;cQfDsf4nE2</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Etsy&#x2F;s&#x2F;HEhayRGlG9" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Etsy&#x2F;s&#x2F;HEhayRGlG9</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;websearch&#x2F;thread&#x2F;28023794&#x2F;someone-is-sending-fake-copyright-strikes-to-my-site?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;websearch&#x2F;thread&#x2F;28023794&#x2F;someone...</a>

<i>Unfortunately, DMCA abuse rarely has consequences for those behind it.</i><p>I think with this sort of carelessness, it&#x27;s only a matter of time before they mess with the wrong people and incur some real-life consequences. As much as I&#x27;m against doxxing in general, there are certainly those who will take that route of revenge.

&gt; DMCA takedown notices sent by a company calling itself DMCA Piracy Prevention Inc. claim to protect the rights of an OnlyFans&#x2F;Instagram model working under the name ‘Artemis’.

For the lawyers on HN, would you able to bring a lawsuit for defamation and tortuous interference?<p>Falsely accusing someone of bad behavior in an attempt to affect a business relationship seems like it would have some possible civil remedies?

Is there a tool that creates those visual previews of urls like the one in the article? Looks useful.

Web site that profits from widespread copyright violation-- decries the flawed legal mechanisms that widespread copyright violation enabled.<p>DMCA has serious problems in practice, and needs correcting. But the piracy community should not be the ones criticizing every time a merchant ship has a gunpowder accident from the cannons they&#x27;re required to carry <i>because of the pirates</i>.
