E-voting vendor is a bully

E-voting vendor is a bully: "Diebold misrepresented its claims when it sent threatening letters to the ISPs of students who had posted the company's internal documents online.

Diebold claimed the documents violated its copyrights under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and demanded that they be removed.

Several items seemed to reinforce concerns about electronic voting.

US District Judge Jeremy Fogel said that no reasonable copyright holder could have believed that the portions of the e-mail archive discussing possible technical problems with Diebold's voting machines were protected by copyright."
