Michael Crook DMCA Notice!

A while back, there was a hub bub about Michael Crook who was issuing false DMCA notices to have people remove images or video clips of him. This is a flat out abuse of the DMCA! You can read about it here. I, along with others, posted the image to my flickr stream. Well, today I received:

Dear thepartycow,

We have received a Notice of Infringement from Michael Crook via the Yahoo! Copyright Team and have removed the
photo "Picked the wrong fight" from your photostream.

Subsequent NOIs filed against your account will result in further action that may include termination without warning.

If you believe that you were designated by mistake or misidentification, or if you believe that you have not infringed the copyright, you may submit a sworn counter-notification as to the mistake or misidentification. Please contact the Yahoo! Copyright Team for more information on this process:

I just contacted the EFF and am going to figure out how to submit the docs...

Update:Original

Update 2: Mr. Crook has contacted me and let me know that he is withdrawing the DMCA request. I am glad this was handled so quickly!
