MPAA Blames Linux Australia Notice on Human Error

Posted by samzenpus on from the pirated-movie-down-under dept.

rjch writes "According to ZDNet Australia, the MPAA is blaming their recent takedown notice to Linux Australia as 'human error'. 'MPAA spokesman Matt Grossman denied the MPAA's system, which sends out 100,000 notices of claimed infringement on an annual basis was flawed. He said the organisation was not doing blind keyword matching against Internet content and sending out automatic infringement notices without checks, as Linux Australia had previously claimed.' When asked why this slipped through their checks, Grossman told Builder AU 'the answer is a simple human error unfortunately. Everyone has a bad day'. Grossman further denied the MPAA was sending out unsolicited e-mails."

    What is this? A change in policy on Slashdot. This can only be for the worse.

    Yes, a definite change in policy. This posting wasn't a slashvertisement for a change.
