The Harvard Crimson reported that Berkman Affiliate Derek Slater, a student at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, has been told by Harvard to remove Diebold documents from his Harvard-hosted webspace. Slater received these documents from students at Swarthmore, home of the students the EFF is now representing, and posted them "to spur debate." Executive Director John Palfrey, in the Crimson article, comments that a copyright infringement case against Slater is "hardly airtight," and that the DMCA is being used improperly in this situation. Slater also comments on his weblog.
