Companies need to start getting punished for fraudulent takedown notices.

Thought it was this Viz for a second
This has to be a joke. They can't be that stupid.
Most likely it is just automated and matching text, which should be illegal.
Start fining companies a percentage of their yearly revenue and don't let them pay it over 5-10 years like they recently did for Meta.
Well it should be, because when you file a dmca takedown request, you have to state under penalty of perjury that your complaint is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are the copyright holder or authorised by the copyright holder.
I found before that the company that does this apparently is just one person with an AI agent, because they ("Remove Your Media LLC") give a street direction but there's... Only a Walmart.
From what I know there are a lot of fraudulent "companies" that are sending false DMCAs to anyone and everyone on YouTube (the channel deephumor is documenting them). They're copyright claiming on behalf of people they aren't even authorised to act on behalf on. They copyright claim people just talking about anime, no clips from animes, just talking. Whether they're actually authorised by Viz media or not, who knows. There's this Remove your Media, there's also another called The Media Entertainment or something just claiming stuff as their own to silence critics. YouTube just allows them all since it's just run by bots now.
Here's their post (the one in the screenshot) https://www.bleachbit.org/anime
Are we allowed to see Biz Media's actual DMCA takedown or are those things typically not shared?
Say you let them take you to court and don't bother to show up or get a lawyer, will the default ruling follow the law or the corperation?
this is #funny
