GameSpy Sends DMCA-Based C&D To Security Researcher

Posted by timothy on Wednesday November 12, 2003 @05:43AM from the these-so-called-bugs dept.

chowbok writes "Luigi Auriemma has found several security holes GameSpy software over the past few months. He has reported them all to GameSpy but never got a response... until today, when he got a threatening letter from their lawyers. It says he's violating the DMCA, he needs to cease-and-desist, yadda yadda yadda." Update: 11/12 21:09 GMT by S : GameSpy has now posted an official response from the company's founder, Mark Surfas.

DMCA Wall O' Shame by pclminion · 2003-11-12 05:51 · Score: 5, Interesting

Is there a site out there like a "Wall of Shame" where we can go to see a list of fuckheads who have C&D'd people using the DMCA as a threat?
It would be nice to have a list of all of them all in one place so I can make sure to never ever pay money to any organization that has used the DMCA against someone.
