Apple sends DMCA takedown for IP address
- perihelions 5y ago>"Today I learned that a standard, four octet IPv4 address can be subject to a DMCA takedown notice. Imagine what would happen if someone did this to 192.168.0.1/16 !" hehe, https://transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/domains/localhost https://transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/domains/loca...
- bpye 5y agoAnd (from the linked source) 22.5% were actually delisted?
- intunderflow 5y agoThe DMCA needs reform, but it will never happen. All-to-often it's used as a tool to just take down stuff people don't like. People don't care about the "penalty of perjury" part because nobody enforces it. What's the solution? Even if there was one, would Congress actually enact it?
- mjevans 5y agoFix requirements: ## Specific claims must be made. ## Those claims should require Standing be shown and documented. ## The claims should be made in an office run by a court of law and would ## require sufficient identity verification to arrest anyone who purgers. Congress will fix this issue about the same time as the universe experiences heat death.
- na85 5y ago>purgers I believe you're looking for "perjures". Perjury is the act of swearing a false oath or affidavit. A purgery is (as I have just learned) the part of a sugar house where molasses is removed ("purged", hence the name) during processing. Neat!
- mike_hock 5y agoSolution: Roll it back and fuck copyright holders. Let them bite their teeth out trying to enforce it.
- mjevans 5y agoReal world observation has shown DCMA requests have been used against individuals and extremely small (1-3 person) corporations. Biting back probably requires having a lawyer at least on contract. An option to also sue for damages might be worth adding, mostly as a political bluster point. Sending someone to spend time in JAIL for purger is the real deterrent.
- adrr 5y agoLet people sue for damages and attorney fees for false dmca notices. Issue will solve itself. Blatant copyright theft will still be taken down. Fair use or claiming copyright on public domain materials won’t be.
- snvzz 5y agoThe sort of behavior we've come to expect from Apple. Incompetent and scummy is what Apple is these days, in a nutshell.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoLast three iOS releases were such that it seemed they got rid of their entire QA division and decided the releases to be tested in production by the public. 15 so far seems better and stable but it’s barely 15. It’s not even 14.1, it is something like 14.05.
- a1369209993 5y agoThe sort of behavior people capable of pattern recognition have come to expect from any corporation. But I'm sure the next supposedly-not-evil corporation (Cloudflare, maybe?) will totally be legit, right?
- kobayashi 5y agoThe duality of Apple is rather remarkable. They are among the most brilliant organizations of the modern world, and simultaneously one of the most incompetent (speaking both of this event and other times working with Apple teams).
- stock_toaster 5y agoheh. It's almost like the company employs more than one person!
- kobayashi 5y agoMany different organizational cultures within the massive mothership org. Yet still remarkable that this famously top-down controlling and highly organized company doesn’t address some of these blatant and persistent shortcomings.
- smoldesu 5y ago> This Tweet from @illusionofcha0s has been withheld in response to a report from the copyright holder. Whoa. They're not messing around.
- snvzz 5y agoA pitiful display of corporate power.
- savant_penguin 5y agoThe website with the data is still up http://101.132.96.154 http://101.132.96.154
- keyle 5y agoI had a quick browse. I don't get the big deal about this. Sure, it probably shouldn't be in the open, and http, but then what's in there that's actually dangerous to them? I found it an easy read, well written. As for the depth of the content, I have no idea if it's actually good doco.
- intunderflow 5y agoIt either got hug of deathed or just had the plug pulled :(
- labster 5y agoYou should be ashamed of this blatant copyright infringement. As the author of several large numbers, such as 126972017 and 2331855400, I am shocked that you would treat my fellow creators this way.

- nbzso 5y agoApple changed my life twice. First they introduced me to structured and functional way of thinking about designing UI (with old MacOS X HIG). Practically gave start of my career with this. And in the last several years in series of decisions they forced me to completely revision my view of what hardware and software I use for my personal and professional computing. The power of industrial design is still with them (almost tempted me to fall again in the rabbit hole with the new MacBook Pro), happily for me they are run by marketing and never ending expansion, not by product people, and as a result regularly they produce utter crap - mouse with charging port under the body, faulty laptop keyboards, the thrash can, and now the notch. So I dodged "the bullet".:) On a more different level of thought, we as consumers rarely take a moment to think about the implications of creating a monopolistic monsters and how this relates to our future as a professionals or individuals. DMCA will never be reformed with balance in mind. More likely will be transformed towards version 2 with more power for the corporations.
- oceanghost 5y agoAs a curiosity what are you buying nowadays? I have a 4-year-old iPhone 10 Because I'm equally unhappy with Google as Apple. I have an Alienware laptop that I absolutely DESPISE because the MacBooks were a joke at the time I needed a laptop. Fundamentally I have a problem with Apple soldering wear items and replaceable parts to the motherboard. But the Alienware is just unreliable. But, so were the butterfly keyboards of the MacBooks.
- tonny747 5y agoHave you seen these laptops: https://frame.work/ https://frame.work/?
- oceanghost 5y agoYea. Louis Rossman gave them a glowing review. They will probably be my next purchase.
- nbzso 5y agoMy solution is to invest more in custom PC builds (for the company) and after my recently refurbished MacBook Pro (2013/core i7/16gb ram/500 gb ssd/all the ports/ Manjaro) dies - Framework laptop. By using a laptop as a mobile computer and dedicated powerful PC as a desktop I actually can ignore Apple chip advancements. On a smartphone level, my personal solution is to use flip phone for calls and DeGoogled Android for necessary apps. In the next 3 years I plan to move to Talos workstation (https://bit.ly/3lY6fpc https://bit.ly/3lY6fpc).

- kelnos 5y agoI don't get the title here ("Apple sends DMCA takedown for IP address"). From my read of the tweet ("I've just received a DMCA takedown notice regarding the GitHub mirror of these documents"), they sent a takedown for the documentation that someone downloaded and then uploaded to GitHub. The DMCA takedown has nothing to do with an IP address. And I think it's pretty uncontroversial that downloading some company's stuff and posting it somewhere else (without permission) would constitute copyright infringement. Just because you have access to something, it doesn't mean you have a license to do whatever you please with it.
- stathibus 5y agoHad the same reaction. I must be missing something, or MAYBE this person has an axe to grind.
- johnnyapol 5y agoThe DMCA notice can be found here https://lumendatabase.org/notices/25498447 https://lumendatabase.org/notices/25498447 which includes an IP address (along with some tweets).
- cmckn 5y agoLooks like the IP is a twitter.com one, or possible GitHub's. Either way, it has essentially nothing to do with the copyright claim.

- 1vuio0pswjnm7 5y agoApple uses Lua (the language without batteries included). In this particular case, anyway.
- paxys 5y agoHow does that random Tweet correspond to the title of this post?
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoOkay, so could someone explain it to me in simple terms what actually Atlas is and what it's used for in practice? The description is quite vague.
- mattrick 5y agoDMCA takedown is an interesting way of spelling Streisand effect.
