I don’t use any FAST services. I know what a playlist is in like Winamp and stuff, but why/how could a playlist be considered a DMCA violation for these FAST services? I read the article, but I’m still confused.
Its not a violation, they’re just abusing the DMCA because they know people won’t/can’t afford to fight them.
Sure, but what’s the claim? I don’t understand playlists for FAST services, nor why an evil corporation would care enough to file a DMCA suit, no matter how frivolous. Is it because these playlists somehow magically block the ads? Do they give non-paying customers access to something normally behind a paywall? Like what am I missing here? Something is not adding up.
the corps that run the services outsource the job of sending out notices, the companies they pay to do it will flag anything and everything that even hints at piracy. they just have to justify their paycheck.
im just speculating but it would make sense to me if a lot of these piracy troll agencies get paid based on how many notices get complied with and a lot of places are just going to comply without any pushback, even if there is pushback for false flags its not like there are legal consequences for wrong ones so they just flag everything they find and see what sticks.
Is it really misuse if the mechanism was designed to be misused?
damn, used these often for some stuff that wasn’t with my IPTV provider
Ah fuck me, I used these guys.
