DMCA requires Subjective Good Faith

Judge Rawlinson:
When considered in the context of informative case authority, the statutory structure of § 512(c) supports the conclusion that the “good faith belief” requirement in § 512(c)(3)(A)(v) encompasses a subjective, rather than objective, standard of conduct.
Rossi v. MPAA, (9th Cir. 2004) (aka internetmovies.com).
