Your opinion of that website has absolutely no bearing on whether EFF should focus on defending them. This is a clear First Amendment case with digital rights square in the middle. Zillow is attempting to exert copyright claims against a blogger when Zillow owns zero copyright on the photos in question.
This case is exactly what EFF is all about, hell it's what their name means.
Don't let your own biases block out common sense.
- Steeeve 9y agoThis is not a first amendment case at all. Freedom of expression has nothing to do with the privilege to use images posted on a website.
- icebraining 9y agoThe SCOTUS disagrees, We have repeatedly rejected First Amendment challenges to injunctions from copyright infringement on the ground that First Amendment concerns are protected by and coextensive with the fair use doctrine.
- Steeeve 9y agoThis is not a copyright issue. Copyright was peripherally mentioned in the C&D and not the basis of the C&D. Copyright does not belong to Zillow, as they mentioned themselves directly in the C&D.
