Reasonable use of DMCA? Or another brick in the walled garden?
These questions aside I find use of DMCAs to be a bit egregious lately, with little protection being afforded while much has been done to raise the unworldly punishments wrought on copyright complaints increasing fines to the point where they mirror court settlements for financial firms.
- dylz 13y agoI feel this is 100% reasonable. They are abusively spidering Apples servers in addition to a trademark violation in the domain.
- yuubi 13y agoPlease cite the bit of the DMCA related to either of those?
- josephlord 13y agoPlease cite the notice claiming to be a DMCA notification rather than a plain vanilla legal threat/C&D notice.
- yuubi 13y agoIt had most of the language of a DMCA notice and was headed "DMCA Takedown Notice". Now that you mention it, the actual text doesn't exactly say DMCA.
- josephlord 13y agoI think (not absolutely certain though) that the DMCA heading was added by the person that it had been sent to rather than Apple/their lawyers.
- gergles 13y agoIt's the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, not the Digital Millennium "be nice to our servers and protect our trademarks" act. DMCA is not the correct tool for this.

- madeofpalk 13y agoLuckiliy, this isnt a DCMA takedown notice, nor does it claim to be. Just a standard run-of-the-mill cease and desist.
