    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 wanted to point out that this seems to be rotating fake companies filing complaints on behalf of this "julia.pic" person.

      Note how every DMCA request is done by a different company. There's like 20+ companies that filed those DMCA requests within less than a week.

      Can this even be possible? I don't know how lawyer retainers or power of attorney works in the US, but I was assuming that mandates cannot be transferred to third parties.

      331 pages of takedowns filed by that user too

    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.

      There's already a statutory penalty for false claims, it just needs to be enforced.

        It should be fraud.

      you need to go after the services/brokers who send them

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

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

      Well they are a stripper specifically on OF. “OF stripper”?

      The way we talk about all people who make videos, photos, images, and so on is already perfectly uniform: content creator.
