« Hollywood movie studio Warner Bros. has admitted to a federal court that it removed files from the file-hosting site Hotfile without owning the copyrights. Some of the false takedowns were the result of failing filtering software but Warner also admitted that one of its employees deleted Open Source software that could speed up downloads. »
« The file-hoster alleged that after giving Warner access to its systems, the studio wrongfully took down files […]. The false takedowns continued even after the movie studio was repeatedly notified about the false claims. »
« Most of the false takedowns appear to be the result of an overbroad filter. Warner used this tool to find links that it could then remove via the anti-piracy takedown tool (SRA) Hotfile had built for them. »
