I suppose if a Twitter user is in violation repeatedly, their account could be suspended. If it’s a standard DMCA notice, you don’t have to respond. So Twitter removed just that offending tweet and notified the users.By US law, if Twitter receives a DMCA takedown notice, they must remove the content.Someone at BCCI searches for these links and sends a DMCA takedown notice to Twitter.The tweet has a link to a pirated stream.So you received a DMCA notice from Twitter with the subject: “We’ve received a DMCA notice regarding your account”? Tough. More on the DMCA: something I wrote in 2008 on the 10 year anniversary of the law and of course, the EFF. As long as they promptly remove it (and comply with other conditions), they can’t be sued for copyright infringement. One of the conditions is that if Twitter receives a DMCA takedown notice for infringing material, they must remove it. This law contains what is called the “safe-harbor” provision, which protects a service provider (in this case, Twitter) from monetary damages from infringing activity of its users, as long as the provider (Twitter) meets certain conditions. The United States passed a law in 1998 called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). When this company finds infringing links, it sends a DMCA takedown notice to Twitter to have that Tweet removed. The BCCI has employed a company based in Bangalore to monitor Twitter (and other sources, I suppose) for links that infringe copyright. Someone posts a link to a pirated stream on Twitter. Let’s say the BCCI owns copyright to video of the England Vs. In fact, it is advice that I have had to follow, as explained later in this article. I DO NOT PLAY ONE ON TV.Īll of this is advice that I would follow, based on years of reading and blogging on the subject at my other blog. I wrote an email to this person, and thought the advice was useful enough for other people to put up here on the blog.
