the world would be a better place if we all ignored dmca complaints.
Some fuckneck has been sending photos.cx a shit load of abuse complaints bitching specifically about screenshots of porn, porn from companies who have hired him.
If you’ve ever seen those little galleries of thumbnails that people make from movies with ‘media player classic’, you know what I’m talking about. This guy has reported at least a hundred of them, and sends me at least 3 emails a day telling me to remove them.
lately, i’ve de-prioritized every email he’s sent me by 5 days, because I believe his complaints are frivilous. He’s just a fuckneck who is abusing the law to bank a dollar from people who are far more morally bankrupt than the people who are uploading to my service.
Which brings us to my point. The dmca is fucking stupid. The internet was a much better place before existed, and I believe the no attention was paid to the possibilities of fair use when it was signed into law.
I’m not a real firm follower of the law, and I’ve never been afraid to break it whenever I felt like it. I don’t believe the law should be a reason to not do something, it should only be used as a loose guideline for determining if something should be done. If you can justify breaking the law, or don’t believe the law’s existence was properly justified by the government, you shouldn’t be afraid to break it. If you were right to break the law, nobody will be affected. I seriously doubt anyone is losing money because I let some people upload some thumb sized images porn. Hell, the creators of the porn give more content than that out for free on their websites.
