It is indeed.
I firmly believe that takedowns should only occur at the request of the
verified rights holder (after whatever vetting process is necessary to prove one is indeed the rights-holder--or acting on their behalf). That, and I oppose any and all automated/robo takedowns and/or stream interruptions based on on alleged (yet entirely unsubstantiated) infringement claims. And anything that requires non-authoritative parties to act as enforcers for uncorroborated copyright disputes is bogus as well
Shutting things down on--let's face it--hearsay, if we're being totally honest, and sorting it out later (if at all) is completely unacceptable.
Their new "requests" are overstepping bounds that were already overstepped long ago.
