    It's not nice to see the DMCA works. That law is a piece of shit. I could claim your site violates it, have your webhost shut down AllFacebook, and the onus would be on you to prove the claim was mistaken. Guilty until proven innocent. Not exactly a just law.

    That's a good point Joe. It's good when it works but the fact that people can just have sites shut down is kind of nuts. Although, it was Google that decided to have the site shut down not some hosting provider. I'm not quite sure how they act on these items but if they have some sort of verification model in place I think it has the potential to work.

    If you are the person who's stuff is being stolen though I think this law is great. Conversely, if you aren't breaking the law it would seriously suck to have it just shut down. Apparently this guy was given ample time to resolve the issue. Had he set it up on his own server maybe he would have been in a better position.
