Diebold Rejected in Copyright Takedown Attempt

Posted by michael on from the worm-turns dept.

JimMarch(equalccw) writes "Our favorite crooked voting company Diebold has lost a MAJOR copyright case (click for ruling here or description here). Short form: Diebold's internal documents (key excerpts here and here and here) and code were floated all over the 'net last year, showing all kinds of horror. Diebold filed cease'n'desist notices under the DMCA (such as mine linked here); a court has now ruled that Diebold wrongfully abused the DMCA by issuing these takedown notices about materials that they knew were not covered by their copyright."

    Totally offtopic, but I just noticed the related links section has a "Best deals: The Courts" link. Seems Diebold should've clicked that first to find out how they could've bought the court off...
