Sunday Times Issues DMCA Takedown Notice To the Intercept Over Snowden Article

An anonymous reader writes: On Sunday, British newspaper The Sunday Times published an article citing anonymous UK government sources claiming that the cache of documents taken by Edward Snowden was successfully decrypted by the Russians and Chinese. Shortly thereafter, Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept published scathing criticism of the article. In Greenwald's article, he included a photograph of the newspaper's front page, where the story was featured. Yesterday, The Intercept received a DMCA takedown notice from News Corp alleging that the photograph infringed upon their copyright. The Intercept is refusing to comply with the takedown demand.

Shouldn't be necessary for a website that pretends to be serious about technology and news.
Browsing the web without adblock is like fucking a Thai ladyboy up the ass without a condom.
