    This isn’t remotely true. You contest the claim by submitting information through the host and basically telling the complaintant to sue you or go away. There’s no obligation for the host to do this, though; they’re free to just take your content down because of course they are.

      What are you claiming is untrue about what I said? The part where I directly quoted the statute, or something else? Fuck off with this “not remotely true” bullshit.

      I mentioned the counter notification process. Extensively. It’s a bad process.

      There IS an obligation for the host to do something with the counter-notification, by the way. Their liability waiver for damages goes away if they do not participate in the process. But same as other parts, it puts the legal onus on the victim, meaning little guys get fucked.
