Lmao what a legend. How would DMCA even apply in this case though? Parodies are free speech
They don't. Companies regularly abuse DMCA notices because the law REQUIRES a hosting company to take down the information immediately.
It allows 14 days for the same information to be restored after receiving a counter notice.
I think if DMCAs are abused, it should limit the company's ability to file one in the future.
and if not... regular people could do the same
Laws only apply to poor people. If you submit a bogus DMCA that takes down a corporation's site, they will sue you so hard your children's children will be paying off the debt.
It's all by design. The level of damage is measured by capital, and not by how illegitimate, anti-competitive, immoral, or criminal the actions are. There aren't any multipliers to level the playing field against their wealth and power. All of the multipliers are in their favor.
It should require jail time if abused.
I don't see anything on that site that infringes the DMCA. At best they might have a trademark violation claim, but DMCA is only for copyright claims, not trademark claims.
The only real use of trademark I could find was actually on the twitter account clownstrike took a picture of, unless they seriously want to try and tell is they think the name could be confused for theirs with a straight face.
They have an edited version of the Crowdstrike logo on the page, which is what I was thinking of. It's a stretch though.
