Safe-harbor means the provider dooes not have to authenticate a DMCA notice - the takedown notice is done under perjury, they just have to obey it to escape any liability.
The catch is there is virtually never a prosecution for a bogus takedown, I cannot remember ever reading about one, it would be huge news.
Bogus takedowns happen all the time on youtube so I guess now it's moved onto facebook.
Can't believe I am suggesting this but anonymous just needs to have "Takedown Fridays" where they target the service of their choice and perjure away to their hearts' content. When thousands of FB pages suddenly vanish, eventually Congress may get wind of it and improve the law but I kind of doubt it.
It'd work alright. Do you think you'd target Joe_Blow_1374 ?
Nope.
You'd target Actors/Actresses, Politicians, CXOs, and other influential people, and their families. When those people hurt, they WILL do something. Sometimes, that something could be changing the law, or using the law as a nice pointy stick.
