“Two men who allegedly used 65 Google accounts to bombard Google with fraudulent DMCA takedown notices targeting up to 620,000 URLs, have been named in a Google lawsuit filed in California on Monday.”
T-shirt sellers in Vietnam posed as Amazon, NBC News and the Lakers to wipe competitors out of search. Google processes notices for 600 million URLs a year and removes first because the DMCA punishes it for asking questions. The law makes fraud cheap and takedowns automatic. Suing two men in Vietnam fixes neither.
