From WIRED NEWS:
"Diebold Loses Key Copyright Case
Students who sued Diebold Election Systems won their case against the
voting machine maker on Thursday after a judge ruled that the company had
misused the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and ordered the company to pay
damages and fees. Lawyers for the students call the move a victory for free
speech....
...The ruling makes Diebold the first company to be held liable for
violating section 512(f) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which
makes it unlawful to use the DMCA takedown threats when the copyright
holder knows that infringement hasn't occurred."
