  One of the things that makes Priority Colo so awesome is that they don't automatically act on DMCA takedowns. Instead, they pass them on to us and we talk about whether they pass the giggle-test. This one doesn't. So, instead of responding to their legal threat by suppressing our criticism of their marketing images, we're gonna mock them. Hence this post. That alone made the article worthwhile. More ISPs should act that way.

    Note that the original is gone from Photoshop Disasters as Blogspot (google) apparently automatically takes down posts upon receiving a DMCA takedown request.

    Probably helps that the ISP was Canadian. Makes it a little harder for the US gov't to bully them around.

  c) offer nourishing soup and sandwiches to your models Priceless! The great thing about their strategy is it reminds ralph lauren about the very real danger of the streisand effect.

  Say what you will about social media, you have to admit it's a great forum for getting stories like this out there.

  It's also amusing that they're trying to take down an advertisement. The whole purpose of ads is to be seen by people, for free.
