postheadericon System Used By New Six Strikes CAS, Falsely Identifies Game Mods As NBC TV Shows

Reader David Sutherland

email us this week on a DMCA notification you received via MediaFire account. The announcement that we've included below (including formatting shit) MediaFire said he used to host "one of the following files: Downton Abbey, Contraband (2012), Grimm (2011), House MD, MAN WITH iron fists, LA Office. " The "file", according to them, was one of those TV shows / movies was "mapping 2009.tpf Cantha Made Easy", which is actually a mod of Guild Wars. You could perhaps say that ArenaNet, developers of Guild Wars may have a copyright (maybe, sorta), but it is not who sent the notice, and it is not what 'they said it was. Notes Sutherland who created this account for mods mediafire games house and never any other content in this area.



So who sent the DMCA? DtecNet. And, as you can see in the ad dirty, messy DMCA then tried to throw a huge list of files. If the experiment Sutherland is anything to go by, we can ask how many of them are really a violation.



course, we have seen many false DMCA takedowns. It happens all the time. But it is doubly important because it is DtecNet, a division of MarkMonitor. MarkMonitor / DtecNet also just happened to the company in charge of monitoring the key new "six strikes" Copyright Alert System (CAS). Copyright Information Center has a web page on their website on "independent of expert assessment "methods to fight against piracy MarkMonitor. Except ... page is completely empty. Perhaps, if you want to make an analysis, why they take for content that has nothing to do with what they say would be a good place to start.
Fortunately, the CAS operates entirely based on accusations without showing any evidence at all, huh?
