Doesn’t CrowdStrike have more important things to do right now than try to take down a parody site?
That’s what IT consultant David Senk wondered when CrowdStrike sent a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice targeting his parody site ClownStrike.
Senk created ClownStrike in the aftermath of the largest IT outage the world has ever seen—which CrowdStrike blamed on a buggy security update that shut down systems and incited prolonged chaos in airports, hospitals, and businesses worldwide…
The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead increases public awareness of the information.

Someone is racing Elon in an “any % speed run to completely destroy an established companies credibility.”
Yes and no here. Businesses by and large won’t stop using them because of this. And if they succeed, it’s a deterrent for others.
We must agree that :
1-they did want to sensor information
2-but the information was made more public.
Now, are you saying that (1) was indeed their intention but also that (2) was intentional. That being quite rich, they will continue to send DMCAs to intimidate anyone. Finally, their main goal wouldn’t only be to deter this one action but also similar actions by others, which would be more effective if the DMCA succeeds.
… i must agree with you here if this is what you meant.
Sounds like they could use some more sites linking to them to improve SEO. https://clownstrike.lol/

Fortinet filter lmao
Using the DMCA as a censorship tool needs to be a criminal offense subject to jail time.
DMCA was designed to prevent intellectual property infringement, not as a censorship tool.
Yes that’s exactly what the person you replied to was saying.
DMCA was built to save IP, however it’s routinely abused and used for censorship. And not a single thing is done to the abusers so they continue with their nonsense.
It is, but this isn’t. The DMCA doesn’t mention Trademark. That’s a separate section of law because copyright and trademark are different things.
Crowdstrike submitting a DMCA takedown for alleged Trademark infringement isn’t how it’s supposed to work at all. Likely because they know this isn’t actually a Trademark infringement case.
Cloudflare’s automated system not being smart enough to see that is fine. Their abuse/counterclaim process being broken isn’t. ( Not that that’s new or unique )
The ClownStrike person didn’t attempt to use Cloudflare’s counterclaim system.
Lmao what a legend. How would DMCA even apply in this case though? Parodies are free speech
They don’t. Companies regularly abuse DMCA notices because the law REQUIRES a hosting company to take down the information immediately.
It allows 14 days for the same information to be restored after receiving a counter notice.
I think if DMCAs are abused, it should limit the company’s ability to file one in the future.
and if not… regular people could do the same
Laws only apply to poor people. If you submit a bogus DMCA that takes down a corporation’s site, they will sue you so hard your children’s children will be paying off the debt.
It’s all by design. The level of damage is measured by capital, and not by how illegitimate, anti-competitive, immoral, or criminal the actions are. There aren’t any multipliers to level the playing field against their wealth and power. All of the multipliers are in their favor.
I don’t see anything on that site that infringes the DMCA. At best they might have a trademark violation claim, but DMCA is only for copyright claims, not trademark claims.
The only real use of trademark I could find was actually on the twitter account clownstrike took a picture of, unless they seriously want to try and tell is they think the name could be confused for theirs with a straight face.
