I certainly think that we do need to make _some_ evaluation of claims. "In its submission, Google notes that more than half (57%) of the takedown notices it has received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act 1998, were sent by business targeting competitors and over one third (37%) of notices were not valid copyright claims." http://www.pcworld.co.nz/article/483729/google_submission_hammers_section_92a/ As our Marketplace gets more popular, I'm sure we are going to get cases where competitors attempt to disrupt each others' businesses in this way. > Since we want to bring a real > open marketplace and for now it's the only way to install > certified/privileged apps, probably it's a good discussion if we want to > have it under MoCo umbrella that implies be under the USA laws. I can't think of a way of building the marketplace which would not make MoCo (or MoFo, which is in the same jusrisdiction) ultimately responsible for it. Can you? In this case, it's important to note that, as Liz said, the developer was offered the ability to quickly file a counter-notice, and elected not to do so. Therefore, we can only assume that the continued absence of Wassup from the Mozilla Marketplace is because the developer is content with that situation.
