The notice does not list the copyrighted works that are being infringed (I.e. made publicly available). This is the necessary element of a valid DMCA notice.

- JumpCrisscross 9y agoWasn't the takedown request for a circumvention technology versus any specific works?
- cft 9y agoIn this interpretation, the list of the specific copyrighted protected works that they provided a circumventing technology to access, is absent from this notice. I believe no legal theory works here, and I can refer them to a capable law firm if they are interested.
- JumpCrisscross 9y ago> What copyrighted protected works did they provide circumventing technology to access? Anything behind a paywall. I'm not defending what they did. But I sort of understand how it could be permissible under the DMCA. (A law regarding which the EFF and I share many opinions.)
- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoIt made me curious, too. All DMCA takedown requests I saw contained this element - except this one.
