Did I receive fraudulent DMCA takedowns?

If there were a law that stated the organisation (corp and gov) must reimburse people for their time wasted due to false accusations it would make a lot of these time wasters go away, when they know there is a consequence for these types of accusations they'd think twice.

I would support such a law.

Then some people would misuse such a law to waste other people's time.

And then they’d be liable for timewasting.

Absolutely, and if there are legal remedies to make them pay... all victims should.

Too few people take stock of the fact that those who deliberately waste their time are stealing from them.

I would support such a law as well.

Government and legal entities should be optimizing for people's time.

I believe it’s not only a matter of financial reimbursement but also respect and acknowledgement of an individual’s time, which is a non-renewable resource. Law like this would encourage organizations to be more careful and responsible, fostering a culture of respect and accountability.
