Doesn't the DMCA allow hosting providers a reasonable time (e.g. 24 hours) to respond to takedowns?



Possible, but if you're running a fully automated company... what difference would that make? If anything it'd be a liability... a risk of your "cron job" being a bit late or something.


Delaying the takedown by 23 hours or so could prevent this exact kind of screwup.


Alas it wouldn’t in the case that it doesn’t get press.

Because the person who made the original claim has like two weeks to respond and the content can’t be returned until they respond or two weeks is up
