Another dismal tale of asinine legal policy heavy-handedness and waving of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act flag. Read through the sequence of events over on Curt Cloninger’s Playdamage and come to your own conclusions. Personally, stuff like this really snarls my short hairs.

Apologies to Ian (fingerfarm.com, toloko.ca), Danyon (danyon.com, plunderkind.com), Sheldon (askthevet.ca, animalmedicalcentre.ca), and anyone else who has had one of their domains go dark this week.
