[ga] More Wikipedia problems: Nielsen Sends Wikipedia DMCA Takedown For Station Descriptions

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Well as I have suspected for some time, the problems with
wikipedia have come to further potential dire consequences.

See:
"A
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Nielson_DMCA_Takedown

DMCA takedown notice sent by Nielsen Media Research
to the Wikimedia Foundation has resulted in the
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog/delete&user=Cyde

deletion of over 300 pages on the English Wikipedia. The pages were
'templates' and categories that listed television stations within
various
geographical markets in the United States. Discussion of the deletions
has focused on whether this type of information can actually be
copyrighted,
though the content of the takedown notice have not been made public."

It is actions like this by rogue operators on the Internet such as
wikipedia, that have purported ACTA, which is by all reports,
very evasive and may change the free sharing of information on the
Internet forever and dramatically.  Further given Wikipedia's lack
of accuracy in it's many listings as history has shown, gives even
further
justification for proponents of ACTA, which I am not.  Violating
any organizations copy write, if indeed that is the case here, only
goes to justify a DCMA filing directed towards Wikipedia, as
does repeatedly practicing having posted as reference, totally
inaccurate or completely inaccurate information and representing
same as fact.
