Slater's Civil Disobedience in the Harvard Crimson

Posted by Ernest Miller

The Harvard Crimson does a pretty good write up on Derek Slater's recent notice-and-takedown message from Diebold for posting the e-voting memos (Student Accused of Violating Copyrights). Here's hoping that Harvard removes the accusation from Derek's permanent record. Seriously, Harvard needs to revisit its DMCA policy. Two strikes and you lose access to the network for a year might be reasonable for flagrant infringers, but in disputed cases, especially those involving political speech (such as Derek's), the policy is clearly draconian.
