Today I learned that 2021 Sega is still in business. Sad to see them devalue themselves and simply become another patent troll.
Aren't they reacting wrong to the DMCA complaint? Shouldn't Cloudflare have some form where SteamDB could state "we don't infringe on your copyright" and then it's up to SEGA to take this to court?
Hire some lawyers, have them send a letter back that says "no" surrounded by a lot of words and wait. It'll either resolve itself or they'll win in court, either way is okay.
A false DMCA takedown is equivalent to perjury. If SteamDB were to counter-sue Sega, Sega could be punished for perjury, forced to pay SteamDB's lawyers fees, and potentially lose their copyright on the content they claimed was violated.

This has nothing to do with patents. They're not trolling, which is generally registering something and sitting on it waiting to sue. Sega is a practicing entity with a copyright on a game that's actively being sold. Someone's made a mistake in this DMCA complaint and Sega's being difficult to reach to resolve it. It's nothing like patent trolling.
> it’s nothing like patent trolling Sega has army of lawyers and probably massive budget for court fees vs a small 2 people run shop who are actually not infringing anything and don’t have any of those resources. You get where this is going?

Thankfully, somebody in SEGA has responded and it should be soon resolved.

Any examples of this happening?
