There needs to be criminal punishment for false takedown requests. The power of the law that requires takedowns without due process, is ripe for false accusations, provocateurs with an agenda, and just plain jokesters.

maybe just a run-of-the-mill troll? I hope not, that would speak pretty ill of how Youtube is run.

Well I know Luka was singing Poker Face by Lady Gaga, although a remix. Music companies are bitches.

Totally agree. My YouTube account is just a thread away from being cancelled due to two false accusations and there really isn't anything I can do about it except hire an attorney or hand over tons of personal information on myself that the false-flagger then has access to. |

I submitted this to www.techdirt.com. They specialize in such things and know how take downs/counter dmca notices work.

Wouldn't be surprised if trolls were involved. Like to target popular things or stuff that's not the norm. Something really needs to be done about verifying these things.

Interesting, its the same company which took down Lady Gagas Youtube account last year for posting a video of herself performing. |

If my understanding of the DMCA is correct, under US Law, youtube has to take down any video that is reported as a copyright violation if they want to comply with the safe harbor provisions and protect themselves. They aren't allowed to try and verify whether it is a genuine request without opening themselves up to potential liability. The person who's video is taken down can then file a counter-notice saying the takedown was mistaken, in which case youtube has to notify whoever filed the takedown notice of this fact. If they don't decide to file a lawsuit regarding the issue within a certain period of time, then youtube has to put the video back up. Of course, if whoever filed the takedown notice does decide on a lawsuit, the person who uploaded the video is now facing a lawsuit rather than just a removed video, and is also potentially guilty of perjury (because of the counter-notice claiming the material wasn't infringement) if the courts rule against him/her. |

That is why there should be punishment for false claims of copyright infringement, to prevent abuse of the law. |

There is, at least hypothetically. But in order for that to happen, it has to be proven that there were false claims made. And "average youtube user A" is probably not going to want to even bother with the risk of fighting a takedown request, given the lack of funds or a lawyer, and given that if he doesn't fight it the worst that happens to him is his video is removed and his account is possibly suspended. Though sometimes companies have indeed gotten in trouble for filing false takedown notices. Ironically enough, megaupload was in the middle of a legal battle against some music label for supposedly issuing false takedown notices regarding a youtube video where several artists promoted the megaupload site. I guess the artists were paid by megaupload and contributed original material to the video, but said music label thought that the video violated their copyright... because? |

Sounds like a a group of over obsessive Japanese otaku trying to keep Miku purely Japanese. Miku is basically an instrument like any other made by Yamaha and Crypton is very generous is letting people go crazy with her image. YouTube shouldn't be removing any Miku videos without either of them filing the complaint (unless it's against the use of a song).

2ch says it's an organized group of Koreans.
I am not saying it is but just relaying that. |

2Chan is filled with a ton of racist users that hate Koreans, don't trust them when they start blaming Koreans. |
