Welcome to the website of the Digital Media Law Project. The DMLP was a project of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society from 2007 to 2014. Due to popular demand the Berkman Klein Center is keeping the website online, but please note that the website and its contents are no longer being updated. Please check any information you find here for accuracy and completeness.
The response back from Harry from the YouTube team demonstrates some underwhelming legal acumen ("we've completed processing your counter-notification ... This content has been restored.") Perhaps the CitMediaLaw Center can get some basic numbers out of Google on the number of T&C violation requests they get-- and how many lawyers they have working these requests?
I'm familiar with a case of someone pushing to get an impersonating BlogSpot page taken down (since it violates Google Blogspot's T&C). This being a personal reputation case, this is orders of magnitude more important than this VH1 case, yet Google hasn't acted on it?
I would like to humbly petition the Citizen Media Law Project (and other supporters around the net) to place a priority on helping people who have been *actually harmed* than just by swinging a stick at Big Bad Big Media all the time.
We are looking for contributing authors with expertise in media law, intellectual property, First Amendment, and other related fields to join us as guest bloggers. If you are interested, please contact us for more details.

Just how many lawyers does Google have dealing with this
