DMCA Takedown Notice For a Fake ID

Posted by kdawson on from the points-for-chutzpah dept.

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?"

    So there are very repressive stupid laws in the United States which aim to prevent you from drinking alkohol. What madness. You try to satisfy the bars and get a fake ID. So a bar person does not have to check if your ID is real, he just needs to satisfy the law, ok, I checked the IDs.

    But this guy plays police aid. Why? He deserves to be treated like that, this is the guy the DMCA was made for.

    What happened to the States?

    Get a passport and leave that nation!
