MPAA Sends Linux Australia Dubious Takedown Notice

L1TH10N writes "News.com has a story on how the MPAA sent a takedown notice to Linux Australia for the movies 'Twisted' and "Grind.' What was actually hosted with Linux Australia is Twisted (being a Python framework) and Valgrind (being a tool for finding memory management problems in programs). An interesting question that the article raises is whether automatic takedown notices based on blind keyword searches constitutes spam."

Yup that's it ! thnx to all of you for being so suggestible :D

And as you see yourself moderating these posts, you can't help feeling good about the slashdot community, how helpful they are, what a resource they are, and you start to see these posts as the very embodiment of these qualities and you see the options in the selectbox, and you ponder the various options, and somehow these posts seems to be even more ontopic and informative than the original story itself, and smiling to yourself you mod ALL these posts +5 Informative, and you feel good about being part of this wonderful community, and you feel good about showing your appreciation and you feel warm inside and the rest of the day you walk around slightly drooling from excessive smiling, forgetting that your zipper is undone, and everybody is so nice to you, even the guys in the handsome uniforms, who are so helpful and show you what a wonderful world there is outside the building.

There that should take care of the mods :)

Congratulations for correct use of the term "raise the issue" instead of saying "beg the question"!

Repeat after me....
