Having hosted infringing content is actionable in the absence of the safe harbor, and taking it down on request is not a solid defense. The owner could proceed to file and win a suit even after a takedown. Many might not, but some might. But my point is that it isn't really a DMCA takedown, because the DMCA rules do not apply, even if the provider chooses to honor the notice. | |
