Re: Profit Model said by funchords:1. Sign "Some Studio" as a customer Knowing it's probably a penny stock AND email scam, I bet not. Why bother? What guarantee is there that any studio will honor the "amnesty"?
3. Send a DMCA notice to anyone clicking on a link leading to a download, showing up as a peer on a P2P list, or otherwise -- regardless of whether a download completed)
4. Collect $$$$ from the gullible
Reactions: It's the ISPs that are being exploited.
A. ISP ought to charge a handling fee for handling a DMCA notice. Once this happens, the business goes under.
B. ISPs cannot assume that a DMCA notice means a violation of any kind has occurred. Right. This is an abuse of the wonderful DMCA which its genius writers should have foreseen and didn't. Or just didn't care about. How is the ISP supposed to know whether the notice comes from the legitimate owner of the material? Of course this is all assuming they actually start operation and it's not ONLY a stock scam. |
| Some ISPs and colleges do charge fees for DMCA compliance. The problem is who they charge said fees to - the customer, not the instigator, where it should be applied.
The other thing, and I've said this before, is that no machine can definitively say that a file named "Dark Knight 1080p.wmv" is actually the movie itself rather than a bunch of junk data, a news broadcast, or something else than what it's named. You can't even match byte-for-byte, because of the different resolutions, metadata, etc. present in a file. Unless they can prove that the file transmitted IS a copyrighted file, they (should) have nothing, period. |
