Thanks to everybody who helped Victor and ESLprintables to win the game!

The site is probably down to prevent us from sending removal requests to Google. We should check again in the future. |

mmm ... it says "we do clean up". I think they might actually need to do some of those worksheets. |

Dear Colleagues,
In the middle of the week, iSLCollective contacted the owner of the rogue site and demanded that he shut down the site completely. I don �t know whether Victor also contacted the guy, but if yes, then it may have been the collective force of such a coalition that was needed to make it stop. Maybe in future cases, it would be useful to join forces against illicit sites (maybe include Busyteacher, as well).
I am glad to see that it is offline now, but I also think there is a chance that it will come back online some time in the near future, as the guy did not respond to our email, but simply took the site down. If he puts it back online, please let us know so we can resume this fight.
We don �t generally get involved in copyright cases, e.g. in cases where someone prints a book out of our resources, because it is beyond our power to interfere in violations happening offline in another country. However, to act online is much easier (e.g through a flood of DMCA requests and takedown requests sent to the domain host, etc.), and this was an especially audacious and annoying case, so we decided to take action.
We believe in fairness, and we are glad that it has been restored after a massive violation.
Bless up,
Peter |
