I got hit with a C&D last week and basically immideatly complied. Now today i am hit with a DCMA for another brand. The campaign is still running fine, and the email basically told me to get back with them before next monday.
What is worse to get? DCMA isnt legal action is it? What happens if i choose to ignore it?
C&D usually comes from a lawyer, DMCA usually comes from the company.
Some companies have lawyers that go around and issue C&D's all day long, they are both relatively harmless if you comply.
I always make sure I max out the time they give me in the C&D. Usually you can request 15-30 days to comply, and if a campaign is running good profit, I figure squeeze out what ya can.
whats worse ?!
arrest warrant from club fed... that is much worse!
if comparing DMCA to C&D 403flux is correct.
both are bad but most companies will react quicker to a DMCA since it has statutory remedies. C&D's are mostly "hey fucker we dont like what you're doing stop it". DMCA, if done properly, points dierctly to 512 and starts the clock. If the host doesn't comply, they are liable.
btw, dmca is for copyright. don't fall for fools that do trademark "dmca's".
