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.
if that true then why do you object to a penalty that puts all your shit into the public domain

The second case was settled, so the wrongfully accused wouldn't demand the penalty of putting all the copyright holders shit into the public domain.
