    This is so super illegal. Maybe UHC thinks the Trump admin will shield them but under laws as written this is fucking bonkers.

        Yea, I bet there are some lawyers like LegalEagle that are foaming at the mouth to find someone with proper standing.

        This is such an open and shut case - assuming it is actually UHC sending these notices in an official capacity.

      There are no consequences for deliberate DMCA misuse/abuse. It was designed as a tool to be abused solely by those with deep pockets, so it’s working exactly as intended.

        There are no consequences for mistakenly issuing a notice for a piece of content you own. There are consequences for fraudulently misrepresenting yourself as the content owner.

      DMCA was entirely created for illegitimate uses though right? It’s been rife with abuse since it started.
