Daniel Harris DMCA Google take down FreeBSD RELATED

This is a sad example of what can happen when someone innocently provides copy-righted material on the web. The DMCA notice removed just one site from the search term: "boinc freebsd" and its inverse "freebsd boinc". These notices provided in the google what* documents are also in relation to Einstein@Home - Team FreeBSD placement with many other page related search terms. Removing just one link is like tearing the space-time continuum. And it is also a good example of what a fresh law student can accomplish in the space between smoking a pipe, and watching Court TV. The copyrighted material in question is publicly available with permission from the claimant: Daniel Harris. His public works with some translations available on the web in html and pdf format can be found with the provided URL's on his personal page: http://people.freebsd.org/~dannyboy/ The DMCA claim document is located in this folder along with Google search results in postscript format. The silliness is not related to my once properly positioned query results, but rather it is the time it took of the notice and the removal of the infringing website, not too mention the particulars of the type of content that he is sure as hell written and signed will not be available anywhere else, except the two or three other sources for the content provided on his personal page. Good luck in law school, I hope you develop some constructive use of your education. -- TO UPDATE: even though credits to the author of the content was not given, the majority of the silliness stands. TO NOTE: the search term "freebsd" alone does not result in the DMCA notice, as shown in the provided document.
