The thing I found most hilarious about this is that the author of this post previously worked at Grooveshark, a company that was only remotely successful because they flaunted copyright the entire time they operated.
That he's now using the DMCA (incorrectly) to protect his business model is the height of ridiculousness in my book.
- lloydde 9y agoI thought the OPer name looked familiar. On our second point though, the OP seems to suggest that this was the mechanism GitHub recommended using and the DMCA does seem to include language for tooling that circumvents access controls, but if I remember the DVD situation correctly it wasn't upheld at least in that situation, at least in some jurisdictions -- fair use.
- bitwize 9y agoThat's a typical corporate stance to copyright: The rules should apply to everybody else but not me. Both Disney and Nintendo fought for looser interpretations of copyright law for themselves than they litigated against others, to name two examples.
