Pearson takes down 1.5 million teacher/student blogs with a single DMCA notice
The headline seems misleading.  Pearson seems to have executed a valid DMCA claim on a single dis-used blog from 2007.  Maybe a little silly, but within their rights, and certainly not egregious.And then ServerBeach decided to pull the plug on an entire rack of servers with no real notice, no real justification, and AFTER the customer had removed the content.  Unless ServerBeach has a really amazing explanation (and frankly I can't imagine what that might be) this is simply horrifying.If ServerBeach will pull the plug on a customer paying $7k/month without warning and with essentially no justification, imagine what they'd do to someone smaller?My takeaway from this:  DMCA still not a serious problem.  Pearson no more assholeish than any other publisher.  ServerBeach a bunch of dangerous loons who need to be kept away from your servers.
