One doesn't know how stressful and infuriating these copyright notices are until one lived in a country with internet hijacked by copyright predators. From the moment of receiving such notice there is only stress, misinformation, and verbal abuse. Thanks Americans. PS. It doesn't matter you downloaded free software, every person you'll contact in the process of straightening this out will be equally clueless and abus…
This is why DMCA is broken. Too easy for false claims. It’s plagued the music industry, YouTube, and now free software.
I went to a store recently and asked why they haven't a product I ordered a time ago, listed on the website anymore. She said, she used pictures from the producing company. But now she got a letter, so she is now not anymore allowed to use the pictures.

Interesting tidbit: the hash they have for the infringed work it's the correct hash for ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso [0] - this removes any good faith argument on their part. There is an infinitely small chance of collisions - but I would like them to produce a DMCA notice with the actual name of the infringed upon protected media, not just the hash. I believe Canonical should step in, since this is someone cla…
I didn't see the second link you posted? and I can't find the hash by CTRL+F on the page when clicking the link?
Am I missing something?
Does the link to alledged infringing content say what? It would be interesting to see what they say is their copyright which was violated by ubuntu.iso

In Germany, thier is a whole army of lawyers seeding copyrighted material on torrents to extract money
Things like this show there really should be a significant cost to wasting the courts time and that it simply doesn't exist right now.
Hmmm. Linux, and intellectual property. I should say my personal hobby is walking into libertarian communities, asking if there's such a thing as intellectual property, then walking out whistling.
What are you trying to say?
