Comment Google should use this as a revenue source. B-) (Score 1) 83
... if [companies like Google] find that someone is abusing DMCA requests, they absolutely do have a right to sue the abuser. Google has done this at least once, and rather recently, at that.
They should use it as a revenue source. Troll the bogus-DMCA trolls for $ome big buck$.
Maybe let the people hit by the bogus takedowns join the suits as co-plaintifs, boosting the bite by THEIR damages and giving THEM a cut of the swag. (Provide running and lawering the suit as a service, for a cut of the winnings-if-any for any co-plaintifs who want to sign up for that rather than run their own lawyers. Google: win, Co-plaintifs: win, Trolls: LOSE!
