This is a perfect example of how Fabian could answer in a way that shows they are committed to removing piracy. He could say, "yeah if the user shows a clear pattern of violating not only our TOS but of copyright law then we will remove that user and all their uploads, even if one video out of 2300 is legitimate, the user has no recourse to sue Manwin because the overwhelming majority of their uploads are shown to be infringing, and by outing themselves the infringer would be opening themselves up to litigation. I hope this sends a message to all studios that Manwin is honest in trying to work with studios towards solutions, both technologically and practically."
Saying that would have won you soooo much goodwill. But instead of doing that...you're sitting here trying to defend users who upload nearly 2300 hours worth of stolen videos by telling us WE don't understand DMCA law.
This is how you take what could have been an opportunity to win goodwill and you've not only dug yourself into a bigger hole, but you've taken Allison and FSC along with you. We all assumed the previous Mansef owners were shady but since they hid in the shadows, all we could do was speculate. You however, have confirmed any doubts any of us had about you.
This should also be a cautionary tale to Allison and FSC...this is the embodiment of the saying "lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas."
