EFF Launches "Takedown Hall of Shame"

netbuzz writes "Recognizing that public shame is a potent weapon, the Electronic Frontier Foundation today launched a new Web site — its Takedown Hall of Shame — that will shine an unflattering spotlight on those corporations and individuals who abuse copyright claims to stifle free speech. Among the early inductees are NPR, NBC, CBS, and Diebold."

EFF might not have enough lawyers to fight the take down notices from the Church of Scientology... Whoops, I just got one.

The problem is that nobody uses their material except for parody, so they don't have anyone to sue.

Since we're on the topic of getting sued by an organization that managed to shit an entire religion out of a tinfoil hat within the last decade or three, who's up for a Church of Common Sense? Anyone? Can I get a Hell Yeah!?!

Damn Tom, I was just kidding man, chill...John, c'mon man I need my Interne...

shocking!

A list of abusive, lying corporations that includes De Beers on it!

Church of Common Sense

To few members to start a church. At these small numbers, it would just be a cult.

...what, and get sued?

(sadly, while originally typed that in a half-assed attempt to be funny, I can almost seeing the Xenuphiles doing exactly that...)

Xenu is the bad guy in Scientologists' cosmology, and by extension the glorious leader of freedom-loving nerds everywhere. Hail Xenu!

Inifinite Loops

Anyone else worried about this turning into an infinite takedown notice loop the brings the whole internet to it's knees, as the corporations send takedown notices to take down the takedown notices which are then put up only to be followed up by more takedown notices for the takedown notices of the takedown notices, which of course will then have to be put... Can anyone stop this madness?
