My favorite is #5 from the top, where a user DMCA'd themselves to get yahoo to delete some website they created previously:
> I used to have a Geocities containing weird bad poetry I wrote when I was a teenager. I forgot about it, until years later I stumbled upon it again. I was embarrassed. I asked Yahoo to delete it. But I'd forgotten the password, and I'd used fake personal details (wrong date of birth) to create the account, and I couldn't remember what the fake info was, so they refused to delete it because I couldn't verify that I was who I said I was. What do I do? I hit on a solution. I decided to DMCA myself. I sent Yahoo a DMCA takedown request for my old Geocities, and straight away it disappeared. Mission accomplished.
Again, not negative at all, IMHO.
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoI find something deeply poetic about the post that you quoted. It somehow reminds me of haiku.
- russh 8y agoYeah, been there done that. I once created a fake neo-nazi like web site with the same name of our Dark Age of Camelot guild. Mythic had a no guild name change policy at the time and we wanted to change the name. I sent off a trouble ticket to customer support with the link to the "newly discovered" site and we had a new name in less then an hour.
