Starz abuses the DMCA to remove EFF's tweet about Starz abusing the DMCA

AFAIK there are barely any successful counterclaims, but there are huge numbers of counterclaims. Basically bots post the material, it gets flagged, the bot submits the counterclaim, and the original bot rejects it. Having the account locked isn’t a big deal for the bot, it only had that one video on it. The problem is that solution doesn’t generalize to legitimate accounts run by real people, which is why YouTube is currently screwing them.
