Censurado pelo Google

Recentemente, recebi três notificações do Google que resultaram na remoção de três programas do meu podcast. De forma generalista, o Google informou-me que estava a violar o Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) e que se insistisse em manter os referidos programas no blog, alojado no blogger, que serve de suporte ao podcast, correria o risco de um processo judicial. Tentei explicar que o blog aloja um podcast de um programa de rádio e tentei perceber quais eram os conteúdos que infringiam o DMCA mas não tive direito a mais esclarecimentos por parte do Google. Apenas tive direito a um email frio e grosso, dos que envia a qualquer pirata que usa, ilegalmente, os seus serviços de alojamento.

Fica aqui um excerto da ameaça:

Blogger has been notified, according to the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that certain content in your blog is alleged to infringe upon the copyrights of others. As a result, we have reset the post(s) to "draft" status. (If we did not do so, we would be subject to a claim of copyright infringement, regardless of its merits. The URL(s) of the allegedly infringing post(s) may be found at the end of this message.) This means your post - and any images, links or other content - is not gone. You may edit the post to remove the offending content and republish, at which point the post in question will be visible to your readers again.

A bit of background: the DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service provider liability in case of copyright infringement. If you believe you have the rights to post the content at issue here, you can file a counter-claim. For more information on our DMCA policy, including how to file a counter-claim, please see http://www.google.com/dmca.html.
