DMCA Takedown Notice For a Fake ID
TrippTDF writes "Rachel Hyman, an artist and bartender in New York City, maintains a blog where she regularly posts images of fake IDs she confiscates from would-be underage drinkers, along with a description of the confiscation. Recently, one of her posts (Google cache) was taken down when the owner of the fake ID invoked the DMCA against Blogspot. Can one claim a forged document as a copyrighted work of art?"
...or land of litigation and bullshit? you decide.
"Luke, you've switched off your targeting computer, what's wrong?"
To boot, her name lends itself to a built-in joke while she confiscates some kid's ID:
In Soviet Russia, Hyman busts YOU!
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
...yes, you, Ashley Heyer! You could have left it alone, but you went the bratty way and got your gang of Facebook friends and sorority sisters to start a fight with a woman who just might be the coolest bartender ever and now your story is on Slashdot. Congratulations, Ashley! Thanks to the power of Slashdot, your political career will never be able to get this story off the top link in a Google search for your name. Here's to you, Ashley Heyer, you're a real American Hero!
(hum the theme song as you click the link, folks...)

Can't they both lose?
Considering that Vint Cerf, the real inventor of the Internet, says that Al Gore's claims in the (admittedly not very good) way he worded them were correct, I have only one thing to say: "What's a groovy ex-vice-president?" "An algorithm!"
Please, for the good of Humanity, vote Obama.
You rang?
The girl is lame for not just accepting this as a life lesson and moving on, and the bartender is a sad, pathetic, grisled individual who gets off by busting people who use fake IDs. They both need to get a life.
Here we are, dissecting the whole mess on Slashdot, and you think they need to get a life?
!#@%*)anks for hanging up the phone, dear.
I have to admit... her abuse of even the limited power she yields really turns me on... We are so lucky that she's so generous to share with the world even a little but of her exciting metro lifestyle.
