BayTSP Provides Automatic DMCA Notices

Posted by michael on Sunday January 16, 2005 @01:11AM from the nothing-bad-could-possibly-happen dept.

ruvreve sent in a pointer that BayTSP is promising to identify Bittorrent uploaders for the entertainment industry to file suit against. Slashdot has run numerous stories discussing what happens when you automate DMCA takedown notices - see also chillingeffects.org.

Well I hope they leave the window open until it hits a ratio of at least 1 then!

Someone's going to go through, and start documenting all the names and addresses for all the people who work at BayTSP. And then they'll post THAT list on some Russian tracker.

Combine that list and a couple kilograms of teenage angst, and we're in for a party.

Maybe we should all start sending BayTSP's ISP DMCA notices. Just make some shit up about what you think they are infringing.

On the contrary, society as a whole should compensate plane manufacturers for chopping up people who walk into spinning propellers.

For simple social darwinian reasons, it's a good thing.
