Jason sez, “Doctors are being urged to give their patients a legal form that transfers a patient’s copyright over web postings if they mention the doctor or practice online. The doctor can then send a DMCA takedown notice and have the criticism removed from the web without filing a lawsuit. As a fiction writer this worries me greatly, especially since the organization pushing this copyright transfer says it can also be used for fictional posts.”
Medical Justice, who came up with this ridiculous scheme, also seriously misrepresents Wikipedia’s position on anonymous editing.
