Copyright Defense League aka SendDMCA.com
« on: January 12, 2013, 08:12:49 AM »
Looks like Randy Taylor (who likes to issue bogus takedown notices) has made some changes...his site

http://www.copyrightdefenseleague.com/ is packed with good information for anyone wanting to hire his "firm" to chase down infringements...  :D

http://senddmca.com is the site he is using / marketing, and we've commented on this before on ELI.

Once you have an account here you are prompted with the "getting started" page, which states the following:

Getting started with SendDMCA is easy: Simply tell us the URL of use and confirm that you own the creative work. (But note, this is serious business. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act – DMCA – is a Federal Law that can hold you financially responsible for damages if you issue this notice in error.) To proceed:

You must be the owner of the creative work, such as an image
You must know for sure that the unauthorized web site does not have the right to use your creative work
You must authorize us to act on your behalf for this particular Takedown order


Looks like copyright troll Randy Taylor is to lazy to even read his own crap before submitting a bogus takedown notice...where the hell is his partner /attorney Dan Levine to advice him properly?

For those that like to analyze legalese, here are the "Terms of Service" from  SendDMCA.com for your commentary.

http://copyright-trolls.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/senddmca.com-SendDMCA.pdf

Note To Randy...before wasting your time with a takedown notice, be aware posting of your terms would fall under fair use, as we are reporting / commenting on it...just sayin...because you know submitting takedowns is "serious business"

Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

Love Randy’s site, looks like he is keeping it simple to keep the spelling errors to a minimum.

Everyone, seriously, take a look at the link Robert posted. It's hilarious. I didn't get what Greg meant until I visited the site. Way to share the valuable info Randy Taylor!
Although I may be a super-genius, I am not a lawyer. So take my scribblings for what they are worth and get a real lawyer for real legal advice. But if you want media and design advice, please visit Motion City at http://motioncity.com.

I'm glad that Taylor is so giving as to share his extensive knowledge with the world.
That font screams "hipster" chic too.
