  Sometimes. Other times the party making the DMCA claim gets to steal the money.

  It’s a theft ring, and there’s been accusations that Google is in on it somehow. I’m not sure if that means Google is getting a discount paying the mass DMCA reporters or what, but supposedly there’s some financial incentive for them to play along with these bad actors.

  They should require significant vetting for allowing anyone to mass report, and ban these copyright holders from issuing any takedown requests if they’re found to be abusing the system.

  I’m sure whomever he hands it over to will also support running CS:GO as an illegal underage casino.

  Exactly. They banned those and began enforcing strict bans on violent content. Until the Ukraine war, and they wanted to assist in propaganda, so the popular page started getting flooded with some gruesome shit. Though I don’t really see how that helped drum up any support for the war.

  I’m not sure 100% of people would cheer for somebody with a black sun on their uniform, or someone shooting a child.

  Reddit also has policies against posting violence, but apparently it doesn’t count if you post Ukrainians or Israelis proudly showing off their slaughter.

  Reddit allows violence, so long as it is in line with the status quo.
