Non-US entities can easily send a valid DMCA takedown notice. This is useful when someone's *ripping your stuff off*, problematic when they don't have the relevant rights under copyright. > We made the details of the notice public, as Nathan has already shown. If you can link in your notifications to a handy guide to contesting a DMCA takedown notice, that would probably answer the concerns in this thread. It's clear that people weren't sure if they could re-add things at all, ever, after a takedown notice, without express WMF permission. It's clear to you, but not to the non-lawyers who nevertheless know what a bogus claim copyright is. (And I know the WMF isn't their lawyer, but I'm sure high-quality guides to contesting takedown notices exist.) - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
