The Diebold case is one of DMCA abuse. So lets send a message to all the residents of SL LaurapLinden that you could be SUED if you file a DMCA. For 100's of thousands of dollars no less! |
Like it or not, it's a fact that griefers abuse DMCA.
So that's definitely something that needed to be said.
I don't agree with a lot of what's said in that blog post. But this is one thing they were IMO right to point out. Griefers need to know what they risk when they pull their stunts on

People who send in valid DMCA notices have nothing to fear whatsoever.
