An Indian record company got a copyright law blog removed from Google's search engine by filing a false DMCA takedown notice.
In theory, there is a punishment for intentionally false takedown notices. This provides little protection, perhaps because it is very hard to prove that any particular false takedown notice was intentional.
I have not read that copyright law blog, but I can tell from its name that it promotes confusion between copyright law and other unrelated laws by lumping them together under the bogus concept of "IP".
The article does a disservice to moral thought by referring to copyright infringement as "pirated material". Piracy means attacking ships; it is very bad. Sharing is good. Let's not refer to the two by the same word.
Plutocratists in the European Parliament tried to rush the vote on the automatic copyright filters directive, so as to hold it before the March 23 public protest against it.
They were thwarted.
The Theranos medical device fraud was founded on a US patent issued for an application that consisted of "aspirational science fiction".
This was not an aberration. The US patent office takes the assertions in the application for granted. It gets paid per patent application, so it keeps its customers (patent applicants) happy by not scrutinizing them much.
We would be better off without any patent system.
Plutocratist governments in the UK have sold 10% of the territory of Britain out of public hands, mostly to businesses.
When looting the state, privatizers are not limited to property than can be carried away. They loot what's nailed down, too.
