Hey Markus, You refused to identify the vids, asking them to figure out for you what those were. If you identified them then you would be within the abilities granted per DMCA notice-and-takedown, but otherwise you go beyond. If they put a staffer on the job of divining what URLs are involved, they are opening the door to a new obligation. For example, imagine that Google gets: (a) a demand to not link to http://example.com/foo.mp3, which is an unauthorized host of a Foo Fighters recording. (b) a demand to not link to any infringing Foo Fighters recordings. If (b) is the law of the land, the scope of the DMCA will have been massively expanded. -Lucas > > On 1/3/07, Markus Sandy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > i sent a message from their site contact form and selected "business > > > inquiry" as the category > > > > > > got a quick reply back (surprise!) > > > > > > as usual, they expect me to identify the vids > > > > > > i asked them to remove any vid that was in their database and on my > > > site or pay $250/video :)
