DMCA’s perjury provision is completely toothless; it might as well not be there. It doesn’t even require you affirm a copyright violation, just that you act on behalf of the rightsholder.

This is a perfect example of how ineffective it is.

Barratry law does cover this. I eagerly wait for the day a lawyer is censured for violating their oath with this BS.

The point is to besmirch their record with the bar association.

That effectively means nothing if every copyright lawyer eventually gets one.

In fact, I personally bet that it would be treated as a dividing mark between a newbie copyright lawyer & a professional copyright lawyer.
