[nod] To be fair, I am fishing for folks who have been injured by fake DMCA takedowns, and injured monetarily at that. Recent 512(f) cases focus (unduly) on direct economic injury (Rossi v MPAA, Lenz v UMC) so finding claimants who were f

That'd be pretty awesome. Frankly, I'll consider this thing a whopping success if I get one quality case actually brought to trial and prosecuted. If things get so far as needing to mediate the huge quantity of quality lawyers and cases, I'

I set up this database in response to the HN story about a site that had the gall to not only copy another site but then to issue a DMCA on the original site. See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5174121 IANAL but I'll try and match ca

I've just set up http://DMCAInjury.com to report on false DMCA takedowns and possibly get you in touch with a lawyer.

RE: damages, per above "...shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees..." Agreed that not enough people are actually suing companies for false 512f takedowns. Sounds like this could be an interesting business oppor

Hey, so a common thread here seems to be enforceability of false DMCA notices and how it's a pity there's no penalty. There are penalties. Check out 17 USC 512(f): http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512 (f) Misrepresentations.— An

Hi - I'm said twitter user; guess I said it wrong! Really anyone with a Twitter account and/or blog is an "influencer". The point is being in a netwide pissing match with customers is (obviously?) a bad idea.

I'd love constructive feedback about how it could be better structured or revised for tone to make it more approachable, as well as what areas would be helpful to go into in more detail.

We're so excited about this. The space is enormous - over 16,000 square feet! It's about double the current footage we're legally allowed to use and is 100% move-in ready. Now we just need to get the fiber pulled and the interior done up an

The microVC fund I started almost two years ago is now part of 500! Woot. There are awesome Mexican hackers down there and this should help us reach even more of them.

The point of this fundraiser is to make sure we can hold more events! After we pass code w/the City we will be able to hold events with more than 49 people and use the full 13,000+ square feet we're currently renting. Soon, my young Jedi, y

I actually got great feedback on the Second Edition on Hacker News earlier; George Grellas, who commented extensively on the thread, worked closely with me to help turn out this Third Edition, which, while only 20 pages long, was nearly nin

Not confused; it's just typical for advisors to get NSOs and employees to get ISOs.
