Diebold was sued successfully many years ago for DMCA abuse under 512f. See OPG v Diebold. EFF prosecuted and did a great job. Use this precedent!

Disclaimer: I was the plaintiff.



On behalf of everyone who has benefited from the precedent, thanks for fighting it! The EFF helped me with a DMCA abuse that threatened to escalate a few years ago and cited that case in the response.

Note that HN has an issue linking to Wikipedia pages ending in a period, so add a '.' after this URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Policy_Group_v._Diebold....


Someone was kind enough to set up a redirect. :)

You can URL-encode the last character to make HN happy, i.e.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Policy_Group_v._Diebold...
