Microsoft just got in trouble over this again, after triggering mass-takedowns of blog posts about the Windows 10 beta, but they have apparently been embarrassed in the past by absurd demands to delete, in some cases, their own websites from Google's index as "copyright violations".<br /><br />Perhaps establishing a figure for statutory damages for wrongfully issuing or rejecting takedown demands would help?jas88https://www.blogger.com/profile/05563592458314214904noreply@blogger.com
