I run a company logo database website.
So far I have received about 5 DMCAs. In all cases those came not from the company itself but by an "authorised agent" such as cscglobal or convey.it<p>They send out notices on a semi automated way I believe, there is some crawler that finds the image/logo, then they have someone in India find a contact address and send a DCMA notice.<p>Quite possible freeross uses such a service and is not itself behind the DMCA.
Regardless of your opinion on Ross, the facts of the case are excessively strange:<p><a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/former-secret-service-agent-sentenced-scheme-related-silk-road-investigation" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/former-secret-service-a...</a><p>The agent investigating him extorted him for bitcoins! This doesn’t even factor in any of the parallel construction conspiracies.<p>I think he has served enough time. I don’t see why keeping him in jail helps society at this point.<p><a href="https://freeross.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://freeross.org/</a>
I'm very confused - how did LowEndBox get involved at all? I thought it was just a place to promote & discuss cheap VPS hosting, self-hosted software, and other technical topics?
I know he "attempted to murder people" but that was 100% an FBI sting operation intended to achieve that. Never would have happened if it weren't for the feds.
This post was flagged? I wonder why. When new posts are [dead] I can at least "vouch" for them but there appears to be no such recourse for [flagged], and it's not clear to me why this one would be, excepting that some people seem to have very firm opinions supporting the #freeulbricht narrative, which this post goes against. Unless I'm reading too much into that? I don't know.
