He misses the plot a bit with the last sentence in the article: It's unfortunate that a company that has built a business around copyright appears not to understand these basic facts. I think when it comes to copyright and other IP and the actions of rights holders, it has become safe to apply the inverse of Hanlon's Razor i.e. never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice. Of course these assholes know what they're doing, they just don't fucking care. IP best practice is to assert virtually any right you can dream up, justified or not. So, surely it is unfortunate to have happened, but that is not to say it is not entirely expected. More newsworthy would be if it hadn't.
