His Android TV app Downloader, which combines a web browser with a file manager, was suspended by Google Play in May after several Israeli TV companies complained that the app could be used to load a pirate website.
So … shouldn’t they be suspending all browsers, including Chrome?
Chrome doesn’t exist on Android TV.

it could be used to load a pirate website
The TV firmware could be used to display pirated content, better shut that off

There are no browsers on android tv, probably for this reason
There are multiple browsers available for it?
I’d like to DMCA the Google Chrome download page because it allows users to download my copyrighted text
Here is the text that is copyrighted and should not be distributed:

I’m going to file a DMCA against your comment
This is the best summary I could come up with:
App developer Elias Saba has had some bad luck with Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedowns.
Based on a vague DMCA notice, it appears that Downloader was suspended simply because it can load the Warner Bros. website.
Downloader is similar to standard web browsers in that it lets users access both legal and illegally shared content.
The app can be used for general web surfing and can download files from a website when a user inputs the desired URL.
The notice includes a copy of the DMCA complaint, which came from MarkScan, a “digital asset protection” firm that content owners hire to enforce copyrights.
“You would think that Google would at least verify that the takedown request is actually making a plausible claim,” he told Ars today.
