Whether you like the intercept or not I think we can all agree that bogus DMCA complaints (and the forced downtime even when you report the claim is bogus) needs to be stopped.

The core problem that makes incorrect and fraudulent claims possible is the complete absence of any penalty for such claims.

Until there is a penalty for a false claim we’ll keep seeing stuff like this.

Minor edit: I mean the core problem of the DMCA wrt false claims, not the core problem with the whole of the DMCA, which I would argue is the existence of the DMCA :D
