Belgian Neonazi uses DMCA to take down Center for a Stateless Society website
Several days ago C4SS's sister organization, Students for a stateless society, published a notice that its Gent, Belgium affiliate had been taken over by neonazis, disavowed that affiliate, and presented as evidence the following remarks by Olivier Janssens (which are preserved at Pastebin despite Janssens' subsequent takedown attempt, mentioned below). http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/comments/1mzzty/the_center_for_a_stateless... C4SS published a notice linking to the material, but did not itself publish the quotes. Janssens' lawyer contacted S4SS and C4SS demanding the material be taken down, on the grounds that it came from a private Facebook account and his life could be in danger from exposure of such bigoted anti-Muslim comments. He threatened legal action if it were not taken down. Today both the C4SS and S4SS sites went down. On inquiry, we were told by Bluehost it was in response to a DMCA takedown notice by Janssens. We have notified, among others, EFF and Mike Masnick. Michel, is it OK if I write this up (including the original quotes and subsequent threats from Janssen's lawyer) for the blog? -- Kevin Carson Senior Fellow, Karl Hess Scholar in Social Theory Center for a Stateless Society http://c4ss.org "You have no authority that we are bound to respect" -- John Perry Barlow "We are legion.
