NFL Caught Abusing the DMCA 357
Implied Oral Consent writes "You know how the NFL puts up those notices before every game saying 'This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience, and any other use of this telecast or of any pictures, descriptions or accounts of the game without the NFL's consent is prohibited?' Well, Ars Technica is reporting that Wendy Seltzer thought that that was over-reaching and posted a video of the notice on YouTube. Predictably, the NFL filed a DMCA Take Down notice on the clip. But Ms. Seltzer knows her rights, so she filed a DMCA Counter Notice. This is when the NFL violated the DMCA, by filing another Take Down notice instead of taking the issue to court — their only legitimate option, according to the DMCA. Unfortunately for the NFL, Ms. Seltzer is a law professor, an EFF lawyer, and the founder of Chilling Effects. Oops!"

5:00pm - I JUST got back into my dorm room, and what am I greeted with but some girl on my floor and her mom was sitting on a couch together enjoying some sort of hot beverage! I flipped out!. Because, I mean, if you see two women sitting together drinking tea, you know they're going to start talking about their monkey problems [youtube.com]...

Shes actually not bad looking and when you take into account that she is a techie and on the good guy's side that's like +10 to charisma or something.

I'd fuck her, even if she wasn't a techy/goodguy lawyer.
But since she IS, I'd perform at least a half hour of cunnilingus for her too.
I know, I'm a dirty bastard, but I'm honest about it, especially anonymously.
