Yes, people should really read the DMCA before jumping into conclusions. I see a lot of false assumptions in the comments.

- sodality2 6y agoTo be fair, reading > The identified files and code are preconfigured to find and provide infringing copies of our Members’ film and tv content to Nyaa.si users in violation of copyright law. could easily be interpreted as "oh MPA took it down because sharing files = bad", not necessarily "their code is very specificlaly designed to analyze and collect pirated media". The companies behind this are very loose with their wording so it looks terrible.
- kmeisthax 6y agoIn the defense of the falsely-assuming people the actual legally actionable bits are all the way at the end of the complaint, and the first few paragraphs sound like the MPA is alleging that merely publishing the source code of a BitTorrent tracker is itself infringement. I swear, it's almost as if the people who work for these publisher trade groups are trying to pull aggro and look crazy.
