Loons at Scripps News Service Think They Own NASA's Stuff

NASA’s Mars Rover Crashed Into a DMCA Takedown, Vice.com
“This isn’t the first time that a claim by Scripps News Service has grounded a NASA video on YouTube. According to Bob Jacobs, NASA’s Deputy Associate Administrator for Communications, such claims happen once a month, and tend to be more common with popular videos. If claimed videos aren’t blocked, they are slapped with ads from the fraudulent claimant. In April, Scripps also claimed ownership for a video of one of NASA’s Space Shuttles being flown atop a 747, causing it to briefly disappear from NASA’s account.”

    Some interesting crimes going on here.  A Vexatious litigation (it it gets to court), wasting police time and in Britain criminal libel (breach of copyright can be a felony) so false accusations are banned.  The fraud laws may apply.  ‘… they are slapped with ads from the fraudulent claimant.’  I suspect that this is a trick to avoid paying for the ads and that it has been done more than 3 times.

    So NASA should be paid the fair market value for those invasive ads amirite?

       Possible, or do most posters on the internet a favour and get the FBI to prosecute these bullies.
