The MPAA has a well - earned reputation for , shall we say , “ molding ” their fact . But with its latest lawsuit against Hotfile , the group has plain go too far for Google ’s predilection . The hunting giant has just filed an Amicus brief objecting to the MPAA ’s “ torture ” of the DMCA .
An Amicus legal brief is a court document lodge by a third party in a case — neither the plaintiff or defendant — that volunteer information that may be relevant to the legal proceeding and would not have been discovered otherwise . In this case , Google ’s brief provided a legal opinion that the MPAA is full of bastard in regards to the Safe Harbor supply .
“ Google is specially concerned by some of the arguments offer by the plaintiffs , which twist the meaning of the legislative act and , if admit , would unduly narrow down the important protective covering those provisions give online service providers , ” the fellowship wrote .
Google pointed to its own pillow slip against Viacom a few years back in which the search company successfully used the provisions as a defense . While the guinea pig has already been in progression for a over a year , the MPAA ’s sudden postulation for a sum-up judgement has ostensibly spurred Google to action . look like the MPAA ’s ploy to softly cajole its suit to realisation backfire .
