> it seems very odd that the DMCA could even be applicable here

This is an invalid takedown request.

Diebold was sued successfully many years ago for DMCA abuse under 512f. See OPG v Diebold. EFF prosecuted and did a great job. Use this precedent!

Disclaimer: I was the plaintiff.

On behalf of everyone who has benefited from the precedent, thanks for fighting it! The EFF helped me with a DMCA abuse that threatened to escalate a few years ago and cited that case in the response.

Note that HN has an issue linking to Wikipedia pages ending in a period, so add a '.' after this URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Policy_Group_v._Diebold....

Someone was kind enough to set up a redirect. :)

You can URL-encode the last character to make HN happy, i.e.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Policy_Group_v._Diebold...
