Google Play's Ongoing Battle with Banned Apps

Google Play has suspended the Downloader app for the second time, this time based on a vague DMCA notice claiming that the app can load the Warner Bros. website. The app developer, Elias Saba, argues that the app does not contain infringing content and does not direct users to infringing content. The DMCA notice fails to provide specific details about the copyrighted work that was infringed, causing concern about the ease with which apps can be suspended based on frivolous takedown requests. The Downloader app had been installed over 10 million times before the latest suspension.

"Downloader app returns to Google TV and Android devices despite DMCA complaint"

Google has reinstated the Downloader app, which was suspended due to a DMCA complaint from Israeli TV companies that claimed the app allowed users to view a copyright-infringing website. The app was suspended for nearly three weeks, but Google has now restored it to the Play Store. The app's developer, Elias Saba, filed a DMCA counter-notification with Google and updated the Play Store data safety form for the app, which is now flagged as collecting and sharing personal information. Saba complained that the DMCA is broken and that the app lost 47% of its active users compared to the day before it was removed.

Google Reverses Ban on Cord Cutting App After DMCA Complaint

The popular cord cutting app, Downloader, has returned to the Google Play Store and can now be downloaded on Android and Google TV devices after being removed due to a DMCA complaint earlier this year. The app, which allows users to easily download content and browse the web, was removed because of its browser, which could be pointed to copyrighted infringing websites. The app's owner, Elias Saba, disputed the complaint and successfully had the app reinstated in the official app store.
