Digital Millennium Copyright Act, in behalf of Warner Bros., sent Google a notice requesting the giant search engine to eliminate several sites that are purportedly breaching movie copyrights on "The Dark Knight" and "The Matrix," only to find out they are pirating their own copyright.
Warner Bros. put a stop on "The Dark Knight" and "The Matrix" official home video sites over DMCA infringements. It certainly would be too irritating on the part of Google since this is not the first time that this mistake happened. At an earlier time, Warner Bros. conveys a reproach request for the comical 2012 Zac Efron's "The Lucky One." It might be that the company is searching thoroughly the internet pointing out to the movie, the Consumerist reported.
According to DMCA, the foremost rule when requesting for put down notices is not to ask for the takedown of own site. However, with Vobile, a copyright protection company proceeds to file a complaint to Google on behalf of Warner Bros to take down two of its own website. Other sites on the record include Amazon are also mistakenly registered.
As a matter of fact, Amazon completely safe page where people can buy legal "The Dark Knight" copies is indexed as an offender too. It is likely Warner Bros. pages concluded on the statistics via Vobile's programmed procedure of demodulating sites that violate copyrights, as cited by Mashable.
Based on Vobile's own site, its database "enables fully automated identification, tracking, and management of any video and audio content with high accuracy and scalability."
Warner Bros. also demanded Google to eliminate authorized movie streaming links from Amazon, IMDb, and Sky. Google noticed the out of the ordinary requests and is determined not to take any steps but URLs of Warnerbros.com are still under probe.
It appears that the Hollywood studio is carelessly trying to establish it more frantically for everyone to locate its links to rightful subject, which trends contrary to their objectives. As of the moment, no comments have been provided by Warner Bros. regarding the DMCA notice.
