It's a comedy 3,000 years in the making and Viacom shut it down.
The DMCA makes it easy for copyright holders to request content be removed. But what about when they get it wrong?
Viacom has sent out 160,000 takedown notices to YouTube for copyright infringement. More than a few are errors. One example is the popular "10 Things I Hate About Commandments", a movie trailer
mashup that has been viewed over 1.6 million times.
Viacom has an email address (counternotices@viacom.com) if a work has been wrongly targeted. And it works. Viacom withdrew its takedown notice 10 Things four days later.
