Ubuntu Torrent Removed From Google Due To DMCA Complaint (omgubuntu.co.uk)

Posted by msmash on Monday September 12, 2016 @04:41AM from the oops dept.

Reader LichtSpektren shares a report from OMG Ubuntu: Cited in a DMCA takedown request filed against Google on behalf of Paramount Pictures is an innocuous link to a 32-bit alternate install image Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS. The takedown request seeks to remove links to a number of torrent URLS that are alleged to infringe on Paramount movie Transformers: Age of Extinction. Ubuntu clearly doesn't. All it takes is a quick glance at the URL in question to see that. It's very much a stock ISO of an old Ubuntu release. And yet Google has complied with the request and scrubbed the link to the page in question from its search index.

The ISO has more plot and character development than Transformers.
No similarity what so ever.

That paramount thinks people are pirating Age of Extinction or that they confused Ubuntu and Age of Extinction.
