Interview with British ‘straight pride’ group removed by copyright takedown notice

“WordPress has removed an interview with the ‘homophobic’ campaign Straight Pride UK after the group used US copyright law to issue a takedown notice. In an interview posted on his WordPress blog, student Oliver Hotham published an interview with the group, in which they stated that they ‘admire President Vladimir Putin of Russia for his stance and support of his country’s traditional values’. Hotham did not take down the post, and WordPress then proceeded with a DMCA takedown notice on 3 August. The DMCA contains a provision mandating any company to instantly remove material if they are informed it breaches copyright.”
