E-commerce platform Shopify is suing a 'John Doe' defendant for sending numerous false DMCA takedown notices targeting legitimate vendors.

All DMCA takedowns have the perjury clause. What is the penalty for perjury in a US federal court?

Because it’s about time we saw it enforced here, setting a precedent to be used in the many other cases of DMCA misrepresentation that exist.

You know its kind of surprising it took this long for someone to challenge it, but then again in this case the defendant isnt a major entertainment or recording company.

Well, the fiscal position of the streaming industry was not favorable compared to the copyright lobby’s a decade ago. Things are probably a bit more balanced now.

Still a bite the hands that feed them proposition. Unless there are anti-trust laws forcing the RIAA members to sell on all platforms, they could pull songs from any one service, and seriously damage the user base.
