Copyright claim against KMC

http://www.chillingeffects.org/copyright/notice.cgi?NoticeID=17632&print=yes

Has anyone come across this before? Every time I visit KMC from work I have to search 'killermovies forums' in the Google search box so that the url doesn't appear in the drop down and get me caught, and recently I've noticed around 3 results down the above url. Today I decided to take a look. Makes hardly any sense to me, but I wondered if anyone has seen it before or could possibly explain it?

Thanks 🙂

yeah, it means someone is piffed at us about something and instead of confronting the issue in private, it gets posted on the internet where everyone can see it.

The post is from 2006 but edited now... 😖

So nothing really comes of making a fuss?

Someone probably posted a picture or video of copyrighted material and they want it taken off.

[edit]
After reading, it actually says what was copied. Barker posted it crylaugh

Link isnt working, was just some mathematical equations and theories.

Have there been other complaints like this before on KMC?

The material was removed after a DMCA takedown notice, avoiding the possibility of a lawsuit for money damages.

As far as I know KMC remains free for anyone. We're not paying to join.

What money are they going to get out of us?

*breaks piggy bank*

All the illegal comics and links posted, THATS complained about??

The sight owner, Raz, receives money for the advertisements put up on this site.

Because the the sheer volume that occurs on these boards, Raz is compensated a significant amount of money. The more volume, the more that can be charged to advertisers for their milk adds and such. Being number 90 on teh internets should be netting Raz a significant amount of money.

My coworker (the washed up cellist), used to own his own site and it received a limited, yet adequate volume. He got about $300 a month for his website in advertisements AFTER expenses. The advertisements were not anywhere the big names that we see here.

marvel and dc probably have better things to do than target their most supportive fan base...

Some copyright breaches actually help more than hinder. Most things are actionable against the site as well as the users, which is why back when Czarina was libelling Prince, the moderators should have taken it a bit more seriously. Shocking that they seem to be unaware of that.

It's fair copyright, we make no money from them and the site makes no money so really KMC did nothing wrong.

Copyright infringement is not reliant on whether or not someone is making money off of it.

I meant the fair copyright laws and..........nevermind.

you mean fair use

which it isn't, because posting something on the internet is legally defined as distributing

copyright laws say that only the copyright holder has the right to distribute their product. By posting/hosting a copyright item on the internet, you are removing that right from the copyright holder, and thus dismissing their right to profit from the distribution of their work.

not that I agree entirely, that is the law however

The site administrators and moderators could be charged with vicarious infringement, and the site members could be charged with contributory infringement.
