This is why you want to remove as many intermediaries between your content and your audience as possible. Ideal scenario is your own ASN and a pipe with a commit and your own physical box. The only takedown target is your upstream bandwidth provider. From there you’re adding takedown targets: hosting provider, edge cache/firewall provider, commercial CMS, etc. So pick your middle ground carefully.

I’d suggest that choosing a commercial CMS makes you an easy target. Apparently so does choosing Cloudflare.

Cloudflare only stands up to bullies when the CEO feels personally attacked.

More like ״caves in to bullies.”

In this case Cloudflare, in a spasm of comprehension failure, soiled themselves further by proving unable to distinguish between a trademark complaint and a copyright complaint, and erroneously labelled the former as the latter. Irrespective of the fair use merits on display, the DMCA simply does not apply to trademark disputes.

Since this is "their core business" it's hard to believe that this material misrepresentation wasn't knowing or willful. I believe they've partially opened themselves to a counter suit on this point.

Except... in the 26 years the DMCA has been around and all the millions (billions?) of claims that have been made via it, want to guess how many people or organizations have been faced perjury repercussions?

Starts with "Z". Ends in "ero".

Yeah, my guess is that CloudFlare uses CrowdStrike as their EDR and thus have a cozy business relationship with them...

From my experience receiving a few of these I came to the conclusion that Cloudflare only forwards these DMCA requests, they don't review them at all.

Sadly I know from personal experience that that's been registered for a long time...
