Takedowns
I think sites are ‘immunized’ if they comply with a DMCA takedown as well, which makes them very likely to comply just for having received one.
Hmmm, I saw the tapes, all five or six. I remenber TELUS using competitors adds (to mock them) and movie clips from Witness and Wayne’s World.
I wonder if they ever paid the royalties on that material or informed the companies involved of the content use.
The nice thing its taped and therefore can be proven conclusively.
