MPAA Sends Linux Australia Dubious Takedown Notice

Posted by timothy on from the takedown-is-two-points dept.

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."

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