Interactive Digital Software Association 1211 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Infringing Activity - Reference#: 922932 Date: 14 February, 2003 5:23 PM Anyone want to help?ДЇrom: Berne Convention - Demand for Immediate Take Down - Notice of If companies are really making copyright claims based merely on file names, we should stop this practice right now. If I have to check for possible copyright infringement of every file name, the job becomes utterly impossible, since what was a 10-second test run will take years. Right now I'm working on a web site, and a test I'm running is creating roughly 100 files per second.

I typically create hundreds (sometimes thousands) of file names each day during software testing. It hardly seems likely (or even vaguely reasonable) that anyone could own the rights to a file name. If this works, we'll have plenty of evidence against them in court. We just invite all our readers with web sites to create dummy files with those names, perhaps in a /games/ directory. If we can get the file names, we can easily set up a sting operation. Is this really how they are doing it? If so, can anyone post the list of file names that they are looking for?

The way the IDSA is going about it (trawling the web and sending off threatening letters based on filenames) is completely out of line.
