If this attorney is filing BS DMCA claims, hopefully they'll give a gentle heads-up to his local bar association

[anigbrowl]

Institutional remedies which require years of process for abuses that can be carried out in seconds or minutes are fundamentally inadequate.

A bar association can remediate pretty quickly if it chooses to.

Youtube takedowns aren't DMCA requests. There is no legal penalty for perjury. It's just a good old fashioned mob shakedown. In this case neither party is even subject to US law so even more irrelevant.

FTA:

> Matters have now escalated to the point where the game itself has been taken off Steam due to a DMCA request, and the player is “now claiming that they own the rights to the [realistic] game mode”

YouTube has an internal system for handing requests apart of DMCA but videos may also be taken down from YouTube via a DMCA request per law. “Takedown” is a word often used interchangeably for a video taken down via either method.

What about Steam takedowns?

[yeahbutiguess]

Steam responds to DMCA, as far as I'm aware, and doesn't have a separate process.
