Comment on Parody site ClownStrike refused to bow to CrowdStrike’s bogus DMCA takedown
4am@lemm.ee 3 months agoWhy that’s literally what it was designed to do
It is, but this isn’t. The DMCA doesn’t mention Trademark. That’s a separate section of law because copyright and trademark are different things.
Crowdstrike submitting a DMCA takedown for alleged Trademark infringement isn’t how it’s supposed to work at all. Likely because they know this isn’t actually a Trademark infringement case.
Cloudflare’s automated system not being smart enough to see that is fine. Their abuse/counterclaim process being broken isn’t.
The ClownStrike person didn’t attempt to use Cloudflare’s counterclaim system.
Cloudflare’s counterclaim system didn’t open a ticket when the notification email was replied to.
That’s the kind of nonsense you expect from a local municipality hosting solution. Not one of the biggest on the Internet.

DMCA was designed to prevent intellectual property infringement, not as a censorship tool.

Yes that’s exactly what the person you replied to was saying.
DMCA was built to save IP, however it’s routinely abused and used for censorship. And not a single thing is done to the abusers so they continue with their nonsense.

No they literally said that DMCA was designed for censorship…

Copyright assholes got a seat at the table when it was being drafted everyone else was given the finger. Its designed to be easily abused. Accidently on purpose, if you get me.
