EFF Sues Psychic for DMCA Abuse
Ars Technica reports that the EFF is suing Uri Geller for abusing the DMCA. Uri Geller is a popular psychic. He sent DMCA takedown notices to YouTube to remove video clips critical of his work. However, Geller was not the copyright owner of the video clips, which came from a PBS documentary and other sources. The EFF says this means Geller violated the DMCA by “knowingly and materially” misrepresenting his claim.
