Re: Just Can't Please Everybody
MPAA politics aside, you're right. YouTube is a free service, they can take contributions down for whatever reason they want, let alone DMCA notices.
The same thing would happen here: User posts material. Someone complains via hey-mod that material violates copyright. Moderator "hides" post via system controls while checking with fellow mods via private mod forum post. Hey-mod is found baseless or Justin doesn't think it warrants action, and post is returned to visibility. Pretty easy stuff.
A DMCA notice carries the weight of law. Google would be idiotic to just ignore one, even if it is fake. Putting the onus of proof of ownership on the poster is where it should be. Google would not have any way to do it independently.
This is one case where they made the right decision.
