>getting DMCA'd over fair use, publicly available cover art
Open-source replacement when?
>Recent Outage Due to DMCA Request
>This news post is a bit late, but that's because we were trying to investigate and obtain responses from all the parties involved.
>Our recent downtime last week was a result of two DMCA requests. It was from an intermediary on behalf of two different companies. Unfortunately, our host did not notify us and instead disabled our IP address immediately. The most recent requests were due to displaying copyrighted cover art. As some of you have noticed, we have removed the images from some respective series pages (hopefully temporarily). We are currently in the process of looking for another host. It is unacceptable to cause severe downtime without forwarding the requests to us and allowing us to respond. It is likewise poor form by the intermediary to use such tactics without attempting to contact us directly.
