 It looks like the Motion Picture Association of America are flexing their muscle and using one of the vaguest and most specious laws ever written, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), to take down not only blogs posting discovered "processing keys", but also to take down referrals from site's like Digg to articles discussing the issues.Valid assertion of legal rights, or censorship under the thin veil of law? Slashdot reports... Rudd-O writes "Months after successful discovery of the HD-DVD processing key, an unprecedented campaign of censorship, in the form of DMCA takedown notices by the MPAA, has hit the Net. For example Spooky Action at a Distance was killed. More disturbingly, my story got Dugg twice, with the second wave hitting 15,500 votes, and today I found out it had simply disappeared from Digg. How long until the long arm of the MPAA gets to my own site (run in Ecuador) and the rest of them holding the processing key? How long will we let rampant censorship go on, in the name of economic interest?" Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites
