takedowns

Would be fine, if done correctly

Instead, we have too many false takedowns (copyrighted take down of white noise, your own recording of a centuries old classical piece taken down etc).

Bring in a (big) fine for invalid takedown requests (including compensation for the innocent alleged infringer) and people will be happier.

Currently too many flawed bots that, in many cases, are wrongly flagging material as in breach of copyright and zero human checking that the "infringements" found are actually infringing.
