Its not even that TI are asking to de-index data sheets - they are asking to deindex TI products from 3rd party stores.
For example, DMCA notice: https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/18049758?access_token=2m7aiYaan5NA2ozEix0OPg https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/18049758?access_token=...
First link from "ALLEGEDLY INFRINGING URLS": https://www.distrelec.de/en/multivibrator-monostable-pdip-texas-instruments-sn74ls123n/p/17393178 https://www.distrelec.de/en/multivibrator-monostable-pdip-te...
They are pretty much all the same - product links. Did google simply obey this and delist the URLs? How is this even legal.
TI recently dropped some distributers - maybe they are doing this as a way of removing 3rd party retailers under guise of copyright violations - DMCA abuse, pure and simple. Should be HEAVY penalties for this kind of crap.
- hedora 6y agoThere are heavy penalties: http://digital-law-online.info/lpdi1.0/treatise15.html http://digital-law-online.info/lpdi1.0/treatise15.html The courts could (and should) render TI’s underlying copyrights unenforceable. Sadly, the cited precedent is from 1990, and I don’t know of any more recent cases. edit: I also just posted this as a top-level article. People in the tech community should have a broader understanding of this line of legal defense. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25686276 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25686276
