I do not understand why a payment processing company would be receiving general cease & desist requests or DMCA takedown requests. What am I missing?
EDIT: Tried to clarify that I am not limiting the scope of the question to DMCA takedowns and DMCA cease and desists. Rather DMCA takedowns and general cease and desists.
- chc 14y agoIf you look, you'll see that the DMCA is not mentioned anywhere in this post. They're receiving demands that they stop serving certain users, not to take down copyrighted content.
- dfc 14y agoI guess I needed an oxford comma or two. I will update my post to be clearer.
- JoshTriplett 14y agoCompanies trying to shut down a website will often go after anything they can connected to that site: the service itself, its hosting service, their upstream bandwidth provider, their payment processor, and anything else they think they can get away with.
- dfc 14y agoIt will be interesting to see who sends stripe requests. This announcement would be so much more interesting if the CE search worked:(
- Firehed 14y agoCourts will subpoena financial records. I don't know the details not being the one that provides the information but I know we have received requests in the past. I'm going to see if we can set up the same thing. I wasn't aware of this service but definitely support the disclosure when it can be legally provided.
