Irony Watch: Calacanis Files DMCA takedown notice against bloggger

Posted August 5th, 2008 by Robert Cox

It was just a few weeks ago that Jason Calcanis was jumping on the anti-MBA bandwagon, claiming that the MBA was unnecessary because bloggers could work together to shame litigants into dropping lawsuits. According to Calcanis, bloggers do not need help responding to legal threats like DMCA take down notices and cited his own experience at Weblogs, Inc. Unfortunately, back in the real world, a tiny few of the hundreds of cases filed get attention from the media - traditional or citizen - and judgements against bloggers is approaching $20 million.

So, what to make of Calcanis's decision to quit blogging and begin filing his own DMCA take down notices against bloggers? I guess the blogosphere is on its own again.
