> I wonder if the law will allow for any penalties or restrictions against a rightsholder who "mistakenly" claims that every piece of user-uploaded media on a website is infringing their copyright.

It does not mention any. (ref: mostly page 31 of https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/content/download/16062/162304... , and also other relevant sections found by looking for the words "téléversé"/"téléverser", which mean "upload")




Then, couldn't you pose as a copyright owner and submit a takedown request on these legislators' personal or official content? Let them have a taste of their own medecine.

I wonder how a politician that supported the initiative would react if they had their campaign videos systematically taken offline?


You would just be adding headaches to the PR drones working for that politician. I doubt the politician himself would ever know about it happening.

These people are usually behind several layers of separation from real world.


Don't give up already ;-)


I'm suddenly very tempted to do that...
