It’s funny how we all grow up thinking that law is this immutable set of rules that can’t be broken or bad things happen to you…
Reality is there’s no rules, there’s just power, and some vague guidelines that might tell you how that’s power’s going to be used. And if it seems like the power won’t be able to use those guidelines for their own benefit, then they’ll get them changed.
There are no consequences for deliberate DMCA misuse/abuse. It was designed as a tool to be abused solely by those with deep pockets, so it’s working exactly as intended.
There are no consequences for mistakenly issuing a notice for a piece of content you own. There are consequences for fraudulently misrepresenting yourself as the content owner.
This is so super illegal. Maybe UHC thinks the Trump admin will shield them but under laws as written this is fucking bonkers.
It’s not illegal if it’s not enforced.
Put one of these on the end of that: “,for you.”

Power is what you can get away with.
Yeah, the day I truly grew up was the day I realized that the world was just people doing shit.
Think anybody has the money to fight it? That’s what they’re banking on.
Yea, I bet there are some lawyers like LegalEagle that are foaming at the mouth to find someone with proper standing.
This is such an open and shut case - assuming it is actually UHC sending these notices in an official capacity.
DMCA was entirely created for illegitimate uses though right? It’s been rife with abuse since it started.
It’s only illegitimate if you’re poor.

There are no consequences anymore. Musk proved it when he openly bribed politicians on Twitter to try to force a gov shutdown.
