The Eastern District of Pennsylvania helps keep the DMCA and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act from continuing to be misused. →

When did Domingo Rivera change his tune? Sometime between August 4, 2007 and mid-April, 2008 Domingo decided that speaking out against misuses of the DMCA wasn’t as fun as throwing around DMCA takedown notices. Using materials to defend oneself (and show a pattern of threats and bullying as a part of that defense, I would presume) should be legal, he claims. And trust me, compared to the stuff he pulls, the stretch I just made in that last sentence is very logical.

Well, then he decided it would be just fine to shut down a blogger (me) by claiming a DMCA violation to my web host. Dirty pool, Domingo. From his post:

The DMCA and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act are two of the most widely misused Internet related laws.

I couldn’t agree more, my friend.
