"Abuse of Copyright" Charge against Diebold

A federal court may soon rule on abuse of copyright charges against Diebold. Represented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), ISP Online Policy Group (OPG) and two students at Swarthmore have sued Diebold for damages, alleging misuse of DMCA "take down" orders relating to Diebold e-mail archives relating to its e-voting software. EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn says: "Diebold used phony copyright claims to silence public debate about voting, the very foundation of our democratic process."
