Movie studios are issuing takedown requests for their DMCA takedown requests. Seriously. This is happening.

Unfortunately, that's pretty much the extent of what the White House can actually do about this, give the idea the thumbs up.

So, you can jailbreak your phone, you can change the software on it however you please, but you can't tune its radio to another band. Makes sense!

One of the problems with the whole Megaupload debacle is that even as the site was being shut down, it was revealed that a lot of its customers were actually legit and just trying to get the fourth quarter spreadsheets to their boss in a timely manner.

As you might remember, Megaupload recently posted a star-studded video defending itself recently to YouTube, only for Universal Music Group to issue a takedown notice.

Fun fact: the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), better known as the YouTube Ruining Law, allows movie studios to issue takedown notices for media posted on the Internet.

The Digital Millenium Copyright Act is probably one of the most annoying laws Congress has ever passed, betraying a complete ignorance of copyright and the Internet.

As you may have guessed, we're not big fans of certain copyright laws here at UPROXX.
