The DMCA is a US Copyright law, not a worldwide one. Do your research. There is a EU directive that is similar to the DMCA, but non-US hosts do not have to abide by the US DMCA. Most will, but by law they do not have to. The EU use the ECD - Electronic Commerce Directive - which incorporates some of the DMCA, but is it's own thing for EU countries.DMCAs aren't just in the US, many countries abide by them, the UK being one too.

LOL, which brings us back to the initial statement - what exactly do you want them to do about it when not everyone complies with the DMCA.Did I ever say it was a worldwide law? Did I say it was exactly the same in every country?
No and no.
I said many countries abide by DMCA laws, which they do. Not that they all have DMCA laws.
Abiding and having are different things. "Do you research."...
Are you unable to read?LOL, which brings us back to the initial statement - what exactly do you want them to do about it when not everyone complies with the DMCA.
Thank you for conceding the point I was making
I am amazed.
I can read fine, thank you.Are you unable to read?
Abide being the key word there, which seems to be something you're not getting. Just because it's the law doesn't mean they will abide by it.I have repeatedly said, I am referring to websites that are hosting in either the United States, or hosts that do abide by DMCA...
Because you are repeatedly ignoring what I am saying, which is amazing me tbh.You're also quite rude.
Questionable, evident from this thread.I can read fine, thank you.
I never said any host is forced to do anything, and when I did I was specifically referring the the US hosts....Abide being the key word there, which seems to be something you're not getting. Just because it's the law doesn't mean they will abide by it.
You are far too politeYou're also quite rude.
