Spend $105. Make Righthaven go away.
"Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a website enjoys effective immunity from civil copyright liability for user content, provided they, promptly remove infringing material at the request of a rightsholder. Thats how sites like YouTube are able to exist...[snip]. But to dock in that legal safe harbor, a site has to, among other things, register an official contact point for DMCA takedown notices, a process that involves filling out a form and mailing a check to the government. An examination of Righthavens lawsuits targeting user content suggests its specifically going after sites that failed to fill out that paperwork."Posted by: Iblis 2010-10-28 |
