Nielsen Sends Wikipedia DMCA Takedown For Station Descriptions
RockMFR writes "A DMCA takedown notice sent by Nielsen Media Research to the Wikimedia Foundation has resulted in the deletion of over 300 pages on the English Wikipedia. The pages were 'templates' and categories that listed television stations within various geographical markets in the United States. Discussion of the deletions has focused on whether this type of information can actually be copyrighted, though the content of the takedown notice have not been made public."
That's why it was a DMCA notice and not an actual legal threat. Are we clear on the difference?
Bio questions? Ask me to start a Q&A journal. Computer analogies available for most topics!
It was s atandard DMCA notice.
Wikipedia is run by scrawny little neo-hippies.
They are idiots, cowards, and liars.
Lets see how vocal you are after you've had your penis run through a cotton gin a few times, you piece of shit. Let's also see how much of a funny man you are when I get 20 angry black men together to find out how many large foreign objects they can shove in your asshole, you worthless excuse for a human being. Fucking Republican trolls like you are what's brought this country to financial ruin and the brink of civil war. Go back to your little fucking shack in the hills and STAY THERE -- after we've rounded up everyone in your worthless, inbred family and STERILIZED THEM and CUT OUT THEIR TONGUES. If I knew where you lived I'd cut your FUCKING head off and put it on a POLE outside my house as a WARNING against allowing 50-IQ ANIMALS to ever exist in the first place. Now go fuck your MOTHER or something and GET OFF THE INTERNET.
Hold on just one moment there, my probably african-american friend. Abe lincoln was from the GOP, and he was the one who freed slaves in states that had succeeded from the union. The democratic party, on the other hand, DID bring the country to civil war, DID ruin the economy, DID inbreed, DID live in the hills, etc... at least up until the south became republican as party values shifted.
i should probably be making a comment on the irony of using AC to yell at AC to get off the internet in a "your rights online" thread.... but then i would deserve a lecture on using AC to chastise AC for yelling at AC!
