To: Dave Farber <dave () farber net>, Declan McCullagh <declan () well com> http://sims.berkeley.edu/~jhall/nqb/archives/000043.html Diebold will not sue for copyright infringement in memos... In a surprising development (via Larry Lessig[1]), Diebold has filed a memorandum[2] with the San Jose Federal court in which they state: [...] Diebold, having issued notifications in good faith compliance with the DMCA, has decided not to take the additional step of suing for copyright infringement for the materials at issue. Given the widespread availability of the stolen materials, Diebold has further decided to withdraw its existing DMCA notifications and not issue further ones for those materials. This means I'll be mirroring Ping's archive here[3]. If you find yourself wondering to what use the content of the memos has been put, see the following three documents that Jim March[4] has filed with the CA Secretary of State that each use material obtained from the memo archive to take Diebold to task: [5], [6] and [7]. This information was likely persuasive in the CA Secretary of State's mandate[8] last Friday of voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) and what appears to be the first open source mandate ever from American government.
