OMFG... what are we going to to about false claims?!?!?1?!
OH noez!!!!

I've sent over 75,000 DMCA notices out. I've had 2....TWO...counter claims. (0.0027%). One was a pirate who thought by countering he could continue to get away with his crimes. His site is no longer in business by the way. The other was for a mainstream client who had a title go into the public domain and failed to notify me. In that case we spoke with the person countering and worked out an amicable deal. (He had uploaded it before it went into the public domain).

There are penalties for false claims just like there are penalties for filing a false police report making false accusations or writing bad checks. Doesn't mean the law is broken.
