Even if you personally take the content you've posted down in response to a DMCA notice, you've still potentially violated copyright, and you can still be sued. | |

Of course if the notice is over-broad or just plain incorrect then you aren't going to find out without legal advice, so you leave yourself open to taking down more than you need to. And the "roll over and play dead" approach doesn't apply to all conceivable legal threats, since someone might ask you for more than you can (reasonably) give them. | |
