       A nonprofit web host got a copyright demand—for a photo it didn’t post. They removed it anyway. The law firm still demanded money. EFF pushed back, and the claim fell apart. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/baseless-copyright-claim-against-web-host-and-why-it-failed

       @eff im assuming whoever wrote this is waaaay more knowledgeable than i am but im a bit confused reading "The copyright owner’s failure to timely register the work" as one does not need to register a work in the US for copyright to apply?
