Google backs Hotfile in MPAA dispute Google has weighed in on Hotfile’s behalf in the case against the Motion Picture Association of America, saying that it is being asked to do more than the law requires. Due to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), if the MPAA wishes to take Hotfile to task for not following the law, it would need to prove that the site failed to act on knowledge of specific copyright infringement on its site – the policing of copyright content on Hotfile and similar sites, is the responsibility of the copyright owners. Google is of course keen to keep this sort of statute in place, as Youtube is frequently inundated with copyright protected content. However, when notified, the site removes them and occasionally does so before notification – going above and beyond the law. In Hotfile’s instance though, Google is defending the site’s right to adhere to the letter of the law and no more. No matter how the MPAA spins it, there is no precedent for doing more. As Tech Crunch points out, Google Drive isn’t far away either, suggesting that the search giant needs to set its own precedent that these sorts of sites need protection. There’s been a spate of takedowns – voluntary and forced – in recent months since the arrest of MegaUpload owner Kim Dotcom and his staff. Other sites like Rapidshare have introduced throttling of free accounts to show they are helping to thwart piracy. The industry is running scared, but perhaps Google can help block organisations like the MPAA from running rampant.

Google Déanann Hotfile faoi dhíospóid MPAA Google mheá i thar ceann Hotfile i gcás i gcoinne an Picture Cumann Tairiscint maidir le Meiriceá, ag rá go bhfuil sé á iarraidh níos mó a dhéanamh ná a éilíonn an dlí. Mar gheall ar an Acht Cóipchirt na Mílaoise Digiteach (DMCA), más mian leis an MPAA a ghlacadh Hotfile chun tasc don ní seo a leanas an dlí, bheadh sé is gá a chruthú gur theip ar an láithreán chun gníomhú ar eolas ar sárú cóipchirt ar leith ar a láithreán - an phóilíneachta na Is ábhar cóipchirt ar Hotfile agus láithreáin den chineál céanna, an fhreagracht na n-úinéirí cóipchirt. Google is ar ndóigh ag iarraidh a choinneáil ar an saghas reacht i bhfeidhm, mar a bhfuil Youtube báite go minic le hábhar cóipchirt chosanta. Mar sin féin, nuair in iúl deireadh, ar an suíomh acu ó am go chéile agus a dhéanann amhlaidh roimh fhógra - dul thuas agus thar an dlí. Sa chás Hotfile ar cé, tá Google cosaint an tsuímh ceart chun cloí leis an litir ar an dlí agus nach bhfuil níos mó. Is cuma cé spins an MPAA é, nach bhfuil aon fhasach chun déanamh níos mó. Mar pointí géarchor Tech amach , nach bhfuil Google Céide i bhfad ar shiúl ach an oiread, le tuiscint gur gá an fathach cuardaigh a leagan ar a fasach féin go bhfuil gá leis na cineál na láithreáin cosaint. Bhí sé ina spate de takedowns - deonacha agus iachall - i míonna beaga anuas ó ghabháil úinéir MegaUpload Kim dotcom agus a fhoireann. Suímh eile cosúil le Rapidshare tugtha isteach throttling na cuntais saor chun a thaispeáint go bhfuil siad ag cuidiú píoráideacht a chur ina éadan. Tá an tionscal ag rith scanraithe, ach b'fhéidir gur féidir Google cuidiú le heagraíochtaí ar nós an bloc MPAA ó rith rampant.
