Why it Matters?
Section 512(f) liability for knowing misrepresentation requires subjective bad faith under Lenz, which also held that a notice sender must consider fair use before submitting, though the subjective standard makes claims difficult to prove. Counter-notification restores material after ten to fourteen business days unless the sender files suit, which converts the dispute into litigation the sender may not want.
