In an unexpected turn of events, the director of the Pirate Bay documentary TPB-AFK has sent takedown notices to YouTube requesting its removal. The director states that he sees the streaming portal as a radicalizing platform full of hate. The takedowns are not without controversy, however, as TPB-AFK was published under a Creative Commons license.

the thing with DMCA is that it's super easy to issue one but potentially more costly to challenge, especially if your appeals to the host fail and your only option is court.

Hosts are scared of facing liability for approving appeals so they'll just ignore them (unless the victim is a big name that can muster popular support) so as the DMCA victim you're usually fucked
