“Did Flickr Delete Obama Joker Image After Receiving Fake Takedown Notice?”
Flickr user 3e actually verified that Flickr really doesn’t check the names on these notices. 3e just submitted a claim to take down one of his own pictures with a “once-off email address, using the name ’Joe Blow’ and giving no identifying information other than an obviously fake address (“Anytown, USA”).” Flickr happily obliged and 3e’s photo was gone within hours.
That’s just insane. And there are people paying for this service. Nobody should accept that.
And doubly insane is:
As of now, Flickr doesn’t even have the capability to restore an image after it has been deleted.
Which goes against the DMCA (well, I’m sure the idea of accepting any anonymous email as a valid DMCA takedown also does), as it states the content poster should be allowed to deny infringement, in which case Flickr would reinstate the image and be cleared of any legal responsibility.
