So, Dropbox has censorship? Ni-i-ice.
- driverdan 16y agoDear Dropbox User: We have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") from Dropbox that the following material is claimed to be infringing. /Public/laanwj-dropship-464e1c4.tar.gz Accordingly, pursuant to Section 512(c)(1)(C) of DMCA, we have removed or disabled access to the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. ----------------- This is BULLSHIT! Dropbox is censoring this because they don't want it to get out there. What will they censor next?
- drdaeman 16y agoWow. Either Dropbox have some copyright issues with Dropship's code, or this is just a blatant misuse of DMCA to take down the content. Won't speculate, but I personally suspect the latter. Wladimir did release the software under FOSS Expat ("MIT") license so he can't really take it back. It's now up to good will of others. While I understand that this may put Dropbox in unfortunate situation, such methods to take down the problematic piece of software somehow feel wrong.
