      The original DMCA wording was very very harsh when it came to frivolous fillings. Hopefully it won’t shock you to believe that it’s rarely enforced and almost never enforced for large Corpos.

          Not everything in a contract would be allowed to be enforced by law… so no.

          Try writing a contract that includes voluntary cannibalism, let it get out to the public, and see if the police just let that slide.
