Submission + - Plagiarizing a Takedown Notice (osnews.com)

ChipMonk writes: Over at hobbyist site OS News, editor-in-chief Thom Holwerda published a highly skeptical opinion of the announcement of Commodore USA's own Amiga line. Within hours, Commodore USA sent a takedown notice to OS News, demanding a retraction of the piece, and accusing OS News of libel and defamation. Ironically, the takedown notice was mostly copied, with minor edits, from Chilling Effects, a site dedicated to publicizing attempts at squelching free speech. The formatting, line breaks, obtuse references to "OCGA", and even the highlighted search terms were left largely intact.
