This Means Warcraft!
Mark Rasch, 2006-04-03

A recent World of Warcraft case involved a WoW book by Brian Knopp that was being sold on eBay. It resulted in automated takedown notices by "lawyerbots" and shows how the legal process today can end up silencing legitimate uses of trademarks and copyrights.

That point about lawyerbots sending notice "under penalty of perjury" has lots of interesting aspects that I hope will be well litigated in Kopp's action.

I'm glad Kopp is fighting back, one way to stop this sort of crap is to make those responsible pay enough that it becomes economically unattractive to continue.

I wonder if the automated assertion under penalty of perjury would be sufficiently irresponsible to make the responsible party liable for Kopp's legal bills?
