       | they have no duty to do but they voluntarily did so without even
       | taking the most basic review of it.
       | 
       | Without civil liabilities being held to people who report falsely
       | and agencies who forward this on and without criminal prosecution
       | of the perjurious testimony that was given to file the dmca of
       | these kind of abuses will persist.
