Instagram used a DMCA notice to take down some code on GitHub because they didn't like how it used their API. How is that even legal?

  This seems perfectly in line with the DMCA, as much as I disagree with it: - DMCA, circumvention means that there is a user attempting to “descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner” - trafficking in devices or tools that help other people circumvent access-control and copy-control measures That being said, it seems to be overly largely used for spam
