- dweekly 9y agoDiebold was sued successfully many years ago for DMCA abuse under 512f. See OPG v Diebold. EFF prosecuted and did a great job. Use this precedent! Disclaimer: I was the plaintiff.
- paulgb 9y agoOn behalf of everyone who has benefited from the precedent, thanks for fighting it! The EFF helped me with a DMCA abuse that threatened to escalate a few years ago and cited that case in the response.
