US Air Force Issues DMCA Takedown Notice

Posted by kdawson on from the above-all dept.

palegray.net writes "Threat Level brings us the story of the US Air Force's use of the DMCA to forcibly remove a 'Cyber Command' recruitment video that they had previously thanked Threat Level for running. The article notes that US government works are not even subject to copyright, but this fact didn't stop YouTube from caving and taking down the video."

    Doesn't the lawyer signing the DMCA takedown notice have to swear under the threat of perjury that their information is accurate to the best of their knowledge? I'm pretty sure lawyers are never obligated to tell the truth.
    Quite the contrary.
