Ah, yes, someone’s made a business out of hunting for dmca violations… using an ai based watchdog… and because dmca is “shoot first ask questions later”, that makes disruption easy and remedy hard.

DMCA isn’t all that unreasonable, though. It’s Google’s implementation of the DMCA policy that fails everyone. The article explains this further, with how instead of adhering to the 14 day restoration requirement in the DMCA law, Google took 46 days to restore this app last time.
The legal remedy here is for the developer to sue Google alongside the false DMCA company. Unfortunately, Google’s response to this kind of thing is to usually ban the developer from Google servers, thereby cutting their future income.
TL;DR Google is the biggest cunt in all of this.

It doesn’t make sense at Google’s scale to review each case individually, easier to just ban everything and review those that appeal.
The DMCA is pretty unreasonable for centralized services.

It makes sense for Google to comply with the law. It would be good for Google to act in good faith, instead of facilitating frivolous spam complaints and preventing their legal resolution through subversive threats to the victim businesses on their platforms.
