"321 Studios" that filed anti-DMCA lawsuit is a spammer



Prevoius Politech message:

"Another DMCA suit: DVD-copying firm sues for right to sell product"
http://www.politechbot.com/p-03435.html

Other folks have mentioned getting spam from them; this is the first
one that I bothered to save. It's tempting to wonder if they view the
lawsuit as not so much an anti-DMCA vehicle as a way to get publicity
for their product. Better than spamming, I guess, (not that they've
stopped) unless they mount a weak challenge they set a terrible
precedent.
