My recent DMCA Takedown Experience ( RANT)
« on: February 28, 2012, 03:22:06 PM »
As some of you may know back in Sept. 11 I had to issue a DMCA Takedown notice for someone that was infringing on my work, basically it was an ex client that had another company copy a site I developed, this copy appeared on 2 different domains, not only the site itself, but also any and all images that I shot myself (no stock images). as per our contract my company (me) retained all copyrights and nothing was transferred. They did make some minor changes, like phone number, and some meta-changes. They did however leave my copyright notice/credit on the bottom of the page, which helped with the takedown notice, there was absolutely no question. So I sent the takedown request and took a chapter from Matt's thinking, it was just the generic takedown, it also included screenshots, and a copy of the signed contract stating who owned what... After about a week the 2 sites were removed, probably because I called often...Fast forward to today... I just discovered that one of the site is back online, thos this time they did not swipe my design / coding, but they are using 2 of my images.. I'm debating on whether I should re-issue another takedown.. I'm leaning toward not bothering, yet this ex-client really pisssed me off and I just might have to be a ball buster....end of rant...

I'm a non-lawyer but not legally ignorant either. Under the 1st Amendment, I have the right to post facts & opinions using rhetorical hyperbole, colloquialisms, metaphors, parody, snark, or epithets. Under Section 230 of CDA, I'm only responsible for posts I write, not what others write.

AWESOME!

Sometimes humor is necessary in this not so funny business! Thank you both for having such a great sense!
