Diebold tried to use the DMCA to silence the people giving out details of it's faulty voting machines using information from company memos. The court said they were not violating Diebold's copyright and Diebold knew that, so they awarded the activists court costs and damages.
The DMCA is dangerous in itself, so it's good to see that it can't be used to stifle free speech.
In his decision, Judge Jeremy Fogel wrote, "No reasonable copyright holder could have believed that the portions of the email archive discussing possible technical problems with Diebold's voting machines were proteced by copyright . . . the Court concludes as a matter of law that Diebold knowingly materially misrepresented that Plaintiffs infringed Diebold's copyright interest."
