This showed up on my timeline but PirateSoftware is apparently DMCAing this guy

Abuse of DMCA is seriously pathetic. This little fucktard engaging in corporate censorship shows how thin skinned and retarded this malding furfag is. (Reminder Pirate Software is a company, and abuse of DMCA from a company IS a form of corporate censorship.) DMCA abuse is illegal in the US because false statements in a DMCA notice can be considered perjury under our law. If a company knowingly misrepresents that content is infringing, they can be held liable for damages (including attorney fees) incurred by the content owner or service provider. Mald is absolutely knowingly targeting fair use content (commentary, criticism, or parody) and his actions ultimately are violating multiple legal protections. Courts have ruled against companies for fraudulent DMCA takedowns (like Lenz v. Universal, the 'Dancing Baby' case, where the court reaffirmed that fair use must be considered before issuing a takedown). I'm not a lawyer, but I've heard about this a lot and read this on various law firm websites.

Outside of people blatantly abusing the DMCA like you're suggesting, you can pretty easily say you filed the DMCA in good faith and that you're just a retard who didn't fully understand the law.

Nope, not after Lenz v. Universal, which set a precedent: Copyright holders must consider fair use before issuing takedowns. DMCA Requires a 'good faith' consideration of fair use. Once in court, all you need to do is argue they're acting in bad faith. Even if a company falsely claims a takedown in 'good faith' but it still causes harm, they can still be held liable. Courts may not require proof of intent either, just that the takedown was wrongful and negligent. Not to mention, his history of wrongful DMCA strikes against fair use content makes any 'good faith' claims far less credible.

Also ignorance of the law is not a valid defense in court within the US. Try that out next time you get pulled over and get sent to traffic court. "Sorry your honor, I didn't know it was illegal." See how that works out for you.

What a fragile little bitch. Literally can't handle someone posting a stream clip, y'know, like everyone does. Doesn't want the government involved in games but totally happy abusing copyright law so nobody can see what a spineless coward he is.

Maybe that lawyer that protected the indie dev will be willing to pro bono this guy or knows someone who would. Someone needs to stop his fraudulent DMCA abuse. Maybe mald and his company will be one of the first abusers to get fucked for abusing the DMCA system. Unfortunately, what will likely happen is the lawyer will file a Counter Notice and force mald to either sue or back off. Which mald will 100% back off because he knows he's abusing the system.

On paper, there is. The DMCA provides a legal remedy for fraudulent claims. Trouble is it requires litigation to extract it, and it's rarely worth the effort, which is why it's so heavily abused.

It really does need to be repealed.

If there were a few examples of people getting fucked from abusing the DMCA system, we'd see a lot less of it. It wouldn't stop it outright, but having some people be made examples of, would definitely stop a lot of it.

Bear in mind, too, that responding to a DMCA reveals all your personal info to the claimant, as it is technically a legal process

This is actually why a bunch of retards abuse DMCA, they want to gain the personal information. This way they can build targeted ammo for a specific person. I've seen DMCA abusers leak information on someone (actual doxing) to disgusting no life discord users and these losers will target the person to harass outside of the DMCA abuser. This creates a barrier to protect the DMCA abuser because they weren't the one doing the targeting.

I pray mald enters the finding out timeline for his sick and absolutely insane behavior. What an absolute sad and strange little man.

The facts in Lenz are wildly different from what's going on here. In Lenz, an automated system filed the DMCA where NO fair use was ever considered because it was automatically done.

From the EFF, who represented Lenz, "The Ninth Circuit also ruled that, when considering claims under Section 512(f), copyright holders should be held to a subjective standard. In other words, senders of false infringement notices could be excused so long as they subjectively believed that the material they targeted was infringing."

[I mean I'm just saying]

Discord has caught wind of the new DMCA:

Large brain gorasuhl coming in with some great analysis, claiming this "reuploading a clip" is DMCA-able as if Jason himself put up a clip of him taking his toys and going home.

Oh my, someone's coming in with a sensible take...

We can't be having that! Counter with a large-brained definitely applicable analogy!

Unfortunately for our gnomeguard, Zerodin invokes the smuckler who shall not be named.

DMCA conversation peters out and pivots to Valkyrae IRL stream drama after this point.

This exchange took place in the stream-chat room. There's also some bonus gnomeguarding from general chat:

of course that myke retard is gonna come out of the woodwork and suck maldy dick

stg this guy is on payroll

dont mati me im right

 

[ADHD Mate]

I suppose so, but it takes more than being tall and confident to get into a relationship long enough to get married. That said, a female friend did fall into a marriage with someone who was equally as full of bullshit as Jason. I guess the fantasy is that they'll change after marriage, while the reality is he either didn't or got worse.

Narcissists are also great at gaslighting and can be charming when needed. You can see it with maldy quite well. He constantly moves goal post when arguing and noticing that he is losing. When he apologizes he spins it into the most charitable way for him.
Imagine trying to keep track of it all without having access to clips that show that he is full of shit. It's hard not to start question oneself when you are confidently lied to,

 

[I mean I'm just saying]

It's so rich that Myke claims the Sargon suit is "the courts not keeping up with tech" as if it wasn't a court explicitly making a decision about a very modern fair use situation on the side of the issue favoring modern internet-dependent forms of commentary.

At this point I wish copyright law and fair use 101 is made mandatory learning in public schools. It is so tiring going over the same bits with these retards year after year.

thor claims the false dmca its someone pretending to be him (A)

 

[PrestonHolt]

It would be really funny if it were one of his jannies, in some retarded gay op attempt from Jason to show "see what those evil people are wiling to do just to stop me from finishing shartboud?! insane behaviour "

 

[NezahualDoomer]

thor claims the false dmca its someone pretending to be him (A)

He is lying, people like me that has suffered his abuse of the reporting systems know better.

This is his modus operandi, he always does this, has done multiple times, he has terminated entire Youtube channels like mine just for reviewing his "game".

It's him, or at best, he sent someone else to do it but it is still him just by proxy.

 

[neger psykolog]

thor claims the false dmca its someone pretending to be him (A)

For anyone not aware this is very easy to do. DSP has had some nigga that comes around every few months or so and DMCAs anything he can while impersonating his account.

I think the only way to tell is what email address is used

Mald is poopsocking really hard on monster hunter wilds. I think he's streaming way past his usual stream time just because of the game and its the same behavior that I exhibited when I was crazy about a game to the point it would fuck up my sleep schedule and other routines.

...except I was 15 years old. This dude really is a manchild and further proof to me that streaming is just his excuse to play like a child. Currently work load is currently very light and I have the capability to poopsock the game just like him but I choose to play sensibly.

Imagine going this hard on what is objectively and without room for opinion the worst monster hunter game released. I would rather replay DOS.

I guess he really just enjoys the serving of unfinished, buggy slop that misses the point on what made the franchise shine, you could say he really identifies with it on a deeply personal level.

 

[Roachbound]

He is tall. He is also a confident narcissist. Him getting married is not really that surprising.

I have reason to believe that, like he lied about his voice and he lied about his age, he is lying about his height too.

Mald claims he is 6'2 per the heartbound wiki, and there is also a tweet where he claims he is taller than prime, who mald claims is 6ft. However, when you check out the interview he did with Valkyrae at some random streamer event. Valkyrae is confirmed 5'3 and Cdawgva is estimated at around 5'8-5'9, and you can see in this clip he's essentially level laterally to Valkyrae(who is wearing high heels), while Cdawgva is a few inches in front of both, yet he's around the same height as Cdawgva and barely taller than valkyrae in heels(remember Valkyrae is 11 inches shorter than Mald's claim so heels still wouldn't make such a drastic difference).

Mald is probably around 5'11 or 6 but says 6'2 as another small lie to make him look better, like how he lies about being 19 when firing wingless in his "anything for content" video when chat looks and his public birth record put him at around 20-21 years of age.
