Linux blunder Down Under could land MPAA in court (ZDNET)

The MPAA is out with their automated bots looking for files that happen to have a keyword that might be in a movie.  In this case, they sent DMCA takedown notices for TWO open source projects in Australia, supposedly for the movies "twisted" and "grind".   Of course, as we know, they like to do that without checking anything. Apparently, it's illegal to do this in Australia.  :D

Don't trust on bots, they're stupid  

They should use IT specialists from India instead.
