While I'd love to see SteamDB fight back on this, lawyers cost money. Cases cost money. Kind of hard to justify a lawsuit when the chance of recovery is slim and could take years. I mean, the FTC fought a 4 year anti-trust battle against Qualcomm before giving up. And that was the federal government!
I do wish the DMCA has some kind of punitive measure for these shady and broke-ass DMCA notices.
how about a libel lawsuit? (Score:2)
If piracy is a crime, then Steam was libeled by being accused of it, as was their hosting company for facilitating the crime.
Shouldn't they be able to recover the damages to their reputations, as well as punitive damages, for this libel?
