So, they tried to get the video taken down in order to get a powerpoint presentation slide titled "How the brave and wise Legal Dept on IP protection destroyed a fiendish attempt at copying Ericsson products by diabolical Internet Hackers!1!!", thereby justifying their existence for another year to the upper management. |

It sounds like the same response to budget spending in larger organisations: If a department didn't spend all its budget and the company ran OK, then obviously that department can run on a smaller budget. We all know what happens there.... |

"I've had half a dozen such incidents, maybe more over the years, both for videos I have done, and for content on this forum. They always back down when told their request has no legal merit, and if they pursue it, the public exposure consequences will be unpleasant for them to say the least." That's an interesting approach. I must remember that (seriously) :) Lots of people threaten legal action, as a bully tactic. But they would not want to have their threat publicly aired. BTW regarding the earlier (OT) discussion about forcing a forum admin to delete past posts, this covers the European situation https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/32361/does-a-user-have-the-right-to-request-their-forum-posts-deleted IOW, a poster does NOT have the right to have his posts deleted. He has the right to have his forum profile deleted (nickname replaced with "deleted user" etc). A very sensible approach. Removing past posts would destroy any online community which seeks to create an information resource - EEVBLOG is a great example. |
