App developer Elias Saba has had some bad luck with Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedowns.
Based on a vague DMCA notice, it appears that Downloader was suspended simply because it can load the Warner Bros. website.
Downloader is similar to standard web browsers in that it lets users access both legal and illegally shared content.
The app can be used for general web surfing and can download files from a website when a user inputs the desired URL.
The notice includes a copy of the DMCA complaint, which came from MarkScan, a “digital asset protection” firm that content owners hire to enforce copyrights.
“You would think that Google would at least verify that the takedown request is actually making a plausible claim,” he told Ars today.
