User Notifies GitHub of Changes. If the user chooses to make the specified changes, they must tell us so within the window of approximately 1 business day.
1 business day? According to whom schedule? That is awfully short. What if the DMCA notice is sent late on a friday night (from the repo owner’s perspective)? Is GitHub considering the week-end to be exempt from a business day?
What if the DMCA is sent to a repo owner during a national holiday? Is that day exempted from the time frame?
A business day is way too vague and short in this age when everyone is working at a different time frame.
GitHub is IMO only partly to blame, the DMCA process itself is fucked up.
However they could improve this
