Sadly it doesn't. I don't blame Gitorious for following the law, and I support them fighting back.
- eli 16y agoIsn't that exactly what Sony did? The whole letter is here http://gitorious.org/gitorious/dmca/blobs/master/2011-02-02.markdown http://gitorious.org/gitorious/dmca/blobs/master/2011-02-02.... Now, you may disagree with their reasoning or with the law, but that's a different issue
- sorbus 16y agoThey only explained why it would be illegal in the US. Gitorious is in Norway, so they want Sony to explain why it would be illegal under Norwegian law, which is the only thing that applies to them.
- shasta 16y agoIn most places, you're required to notify an infringing party that they are infringing. I've never heard of a requirement to explain the law to them.
