And by "aggregating signatures", you mean "posting the same anti-neutrality comment using the names of people who did not submit those comments.

The FCC, of course, refused to remove the comments even when the supposed submitters sent a letter explaining that the comments were fraudulent.

In other words... yes, it was a bot. Whoever did it used a list of names and information to submit the anti-neutrality posts in other people's names. There were no signatures or approvals from the people whose identities were used fraudulently.

My understanding is that they didn't even get a DMCA notice from Fox. Content ID is to blame IIUC. I haven't been able to find anything definite but this quote seems to suggest that and I've seen other comments about this story that seem to back that up...

"It's most likely that this is just another example of YouTubeâ(TM)s Content ID system automatically taking down a video without regard to actual copyright ownership and fair use. As soon as FOX broadcast that Family Guy episode, their robots started taking down any footage that appeared to be reposted from the show â" and in this case they took down the footage they stole from an independent creator," Lyon says.

Lyon referring to Jeff Lyon, the CTO of Fight for the Future.

Is anyone really sure that Fox issued a notice and that this isn't just another example of Content ID failing miserably?

I would add Fight For The Future which has been extremely active for Net Neutrality

So Restore the Fourth and Fight for the Future. Attend rallies like this one last week, support privacy advocates, sign the petition to shut down the NSA Utah data center, or hell the petition to pardon Snowden.

This is another good example of abusive DMCA take down requests circumventing due process. RIAA and MPAA abuse the law to suppress our creativity

To top it off, their outdated business model unfairly reimburses the artists for their hard work.

Copyright needs to be reformed. Some changes that I'd like to see are:

  * Abolish the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
  * Intellectual property should be taxed like real property. http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oew-weaver20feb20,0,1675278.story It is an asset with a value, right? If you no longer make enough to pay your taxes on it, it goes to the state.
  * Copyrights are supposed to be an incentive to create. One that lasts unto your grandchildren are a dis-incentive, because not only are you not creating any more once you are dead, neither are your descendants. Copyright should last half a working lifetime (20 years), so that you have to get off your ass and make new stuff.
  * Someone who makes copies without permission should pay a fine, but it should be at the regular royalty rate for the item x copies made. So upload a song, it's iTunes price x number of downloads, with perhaps a factor of 3 penalty to discourage doing it, not $150,000 per copy.

If you feel the same way, you can make a difference by donating to the EFF

or at least signing this petition urging reform.

Since they came at it with 2 bills all SOPA (which received the most publicity) ever was is a sacrificial lamb, meant to destroyed to appease the public and let PIPA through, and PIPA (arguably the worse of the 2 bills) has to be taken down as well so no time to rest on laurels continue the good fight.
