This is potentially useful information, but whilst reading it I was yet again alarmed by exactly how easy the DMCA makes it to send threatening copyright infringement notices.
- gloob 16y agoIn fairness, sending them has always been easy. The DMCA just means that people have to listen to them.
- wccrawford 16y agoHe left out the part where if you misuse the DMCA takedown notices, it's a crime.
- gergles 16y agoYeah, and he is dangerously close to suggesting that you can DMCA keygens or cracks -- if you didn't write it, you can't DMCA it. Sure, if someone's redistributing your program you can, but if they just wrote a keygen, you don't have copyright in that, and filing a DMCA notice in that instance would be illegal.
- threedaymonk 16y agoI suspect that any crack site worth its salt is hosted in one of the 300-odd nations of the world where the DMCA doesn't apply (and, specifically, in the subset of those that don't have anything similar).
