Wasn't the takedown request for a circumvention technology versus any specific works?



In this interpretation, the list of the specific copyrighted protected works that they provided a circumventing technology to access, is absent from this notice. I believe no legal theory works here, and I can refer them to a capable law firm if they are interested.


> What copyrighted protected works did they provide circumventing technology to access?

Anything behind a paywall. I'm not defending what they did. But I sort of understand how it could be permissible under the DMCA. (A law regarding which the EFF and I share many opinions.)
