Automated DMCA Notices Still Full of Lies
dbaker writes "The MPAA filed a DMCA takedown notice against Superconnect, a software company. The letter is available here that demands the removal of roughly 120K of open-source TCL code that they believe to be a 'copyrighted motion pictures.' This is definitely a surprising case of the guilty until proven innocent world that the DMCA provides." And yet another: enrico_suave writes "The Entertainment Software Association falsely accuses the Interactive Fiction archive of pirating Doom 3. doom3.zip is a 114kb freeware DOS game from 1988. Reminiscent of when the RIAA sent C & D's to a Professor Usher who had an usher.mp3 file posted on his website."
Grandparent suit is completely wrong. Copyright infringement can be a crime in the USA at least. Otherwise you wouldn't hear about the FBI raiding people's houses and people getting slapped in jail for pirating software, DVDs etc.
YAY FOR COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS.
Fuck the creators. They should just give us all their work for free, cause we DESERVE and are ENTITLED to it.
The people at mirkx are just a bunch of warez monkeys whose audience is full of whiners who feel entitled to various shows without having to pay for it.
I'd not shed a tear if mirkx went down. If you want someone's work, GO BUY IT. Cheap bastards.
Hello, mods, that shouldn't be insightful, informative, or otherwise. Fact is, slashdot *is* a biased news source, and not everything gets posted. Don't mod this post up, mod the parent post offtopic/troll, which it is. If in his/her opinion there are better blogs, than he/she should go there and stop posting junk on our forum.
