Dance Copyright Enforced by DMCA

Posted by Zonk on from the seventh-layer-of-awesome dept.

goombah99 writes "The "creator" of the Dance move known as the electric slide has filed a DMCA based takedown notice for videos he deems to infringe and because they show "bad dancing". He is also seeking compensation from the use of the dance move at a wedding celebration shown on the Ellen Degeneres Show. Next up, the Funky Chicken, the moonwalk, and the Hustle? More seriously, does the DMCA have any limit on its scope?"

  1. Please Cease and Desist by TheVelvetFlamebait · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It has come to our attention that the administrators and contributors of slashdot.org (henceforth known as "you terrorists") are infringing on a copyright held by republicans (henceforth known as "us"). You terrorists are imitating the concept of "stupidity", albeit badly, and labelling it as "Funny", or worse, as "Insightful". Please cease and desist, or pay us royalties of $0.001 per "stupid" comment posted and $0.10 per "stupid" article retroactively. Based on early estimations, you terrorists owe us in excess of $67 billion.
