Can Artucgallery-dl, an open source media downloader, got a DMCA takedown on GitHub filed through a third-party service. The CEO of the company whose copyrights were cited said an AI agent sent it "without our approval or permission."
The maintainer removed nine components. The project migrated to Codeberg. US law requires takedown notices under penalty of perjury. When an AI agent submits one autonomously, no one in the chain authorized the legal action.
