ALERT: If you are involved in any aspect of blogging, journalism, publishing, communications, or just happen to own a mobile device which can be unlocked (which would permit you to switch carriers when traveling abroad, or for other reasons), you need to be fully apprised of the DMCA - The Digital Millennium Copyright Act - and its implications for your personal life and business career. You may get one of these on your Blogger dashboard, email, or in the form of a summons. Here's what appeared at the top of my dashboard [yikes!]:
I recently received the associated email which follows. It was sent by Google about one of my posts in The Mad Marketing Tactics Blog which may have contained some material which represented a violation of copyright laws or policies. I simply deleted the post, as I was unable to find the complaint message which cited the nature of my offense by using the suggested Chilling Effects Search Page, which was not functioning earlier today.
Chilling Effects accumulates these DMCA complaint letters, eliminates the identity of the sender (this is sometimes called "sanitization,") and doesn't give you an opportunity to contact, correspond with, or directly confront your accuser - an anonymized complainant.
