			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys, while dealing with the various issues around WebSheriff etc., I came across this pretty interesting article from last weekend&#8217;s Washington Post&#8230; check it out! <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/18/AR2007101802453.html">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/18/AR2007101802453.html</a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a small excerpt&#8211;but there is much more in the full article:</p>
<blockquote><p> But recently &#8212; in part because of backlash among users and advocacy groups who say copyright holders are abusing the law and wrongfully taking down content &#8212; the challenges to these copyright claims also appear to be increasing.</p>
<p>&#8220;These companies are trying to shoot a mouse with an elephant gun,&#8221; said Gigi Sohn, director of Public Knowledge, a public-policy think tank that focuses on intellectual property. &#8220;They like to accuse their customers, the music fans and TV fans out there, of not respecting the law, but I don&#8217;t think <em>they</em> respect the law.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>We feel the same way, especially with the sloppiness of WebSheriff&#8217;s slapdash and ridiculously broad DMCA request. I hadn&#8217;t thought of actually suing <em>them</em> over it, but now that I see some folks are going for it, it&#8217;s something to consider. Interesting stuff!</p>
