More than that, they need to clone a website and enter a date in the past. Then they need to fill out a form using DMCA sworn statement language. The must know what they're doing is illegal. That's not much of a deterrent when there's no real enforcement and it's so easy for these outfits to make a quick buck.

One big flaw is that anyone, anything, anywhere can submit a DMCA request/"demand." If they had to be done in person at a US courthouse then there would be a record of exactly who made the false claim. As they are now, they are functionally anonymous.

This might sound wacky, but the more pervasive AI becomes the more important it will become to link any significant requests to real humans. That might be legal requests, but it will also include financial services, etc.

Remember during the resolution of the mortgage fraud / title insurance issue in the US people were coming forward and being videoed in depositions saying 'I was hired at this bank, my job was to sign forms, I had no idea what or why I was signing, I was just told these forms required a human signature, I signed thousands per week.'

Unfortunately it seems the legal system has already baked in a 'yes, a person signed, but they were too stupid to recognise what they were doing wasn't legal because they worked at a big company and assumed it must have been okay.'

I don't really know how you work around that sort of institutional acceptance of what must be some type of fraud.

The 'system' doesn't really when people seem to have decided 'well, if we break enough laws on a large enough scale there's nothing they can really do.'
