Tracer.AI filed a DMCA notice on Microsoft's behalf alleging Luanti's Android app infringes Minecraft, and Google removed it; the Luanti team published the account August 27 and calls the claim baseless (Luanti). The notice cited only a copyright registration number for Minecraft Java Edition 1.9 and named no specific infringing assets. Tracer.AI markets AI agents for automated infringement detection with "85% faster takedowns." Luanti filed a counter-notice and notes Google took 46 days to reinstate after a similar 2023 incident, against a statutory 10-14 day window. Automated enforcement at machine speed against human-speed appeals is a structural asymmetry, not a bug in one vendor.
