Gentoo Package Accused of Violating DMCA
Slashdot,

Before demanding that service providers "remove or disable access" to internet accounts, publishers should actually determine whether a file such as INFMapPacks123FULL-MAN.zip is an unauthorized copy of PacMan or whether it is (as it is in this case) something else entirely. This is just harassment. I agree with this commentator: "Companies that have made invalid claims such as this one should be punished. At least they should be held liable for any damages if an ISP removes contents that they claim are infringing." In an unrelated story, Microsoft was ordered to pay $521 million for patent violations. Some example, eh?
