What's amusing is that the takedown notices are a matter of public record, so it's not like the URLs are actually disappearing from the Internet. Here's a recent example: http://www.chillingeffects.org/dmca512c/notice.cgi?NoticeID=... Someone should create a searchable database of these URLs, so that you can search for pirated content that's already been validated as authentic by RIAA/MPAA lawyers. Perhaps that would put a "chilling effect" on Internet censorship. |

Actually, it would most likely invite new theories of vicarious liability for infringement and make such transparency more legally risky.
That said, reading through the ChillingEffects list is a great way to gather news. For example, you find out about leaked materials rather quickly.
