Miami Erotic Museum uses fraudulent DMCA notice to censor Flickr

Thomas Hawk sez, “I was disappointed to have hundreds of my photos pulled down last week off of Flickr due to a fraudulently filed DMCA takedown notice by the World Erotic Art Museum in Miami. The museum submitted a sworn statement claiming copyright over 100% of the items in their collection, including items out of copyright, clearly transformative abstracts, and even works by unknown artists. While a museum might object to our posting images of their collection, abusing the DMCA is not the answer.”
