Mmm, hardware porn.
Part of what got me wondering is I remembered Cory mentioning years ago (probably on This Week in Tech) that one of the reasons Boing Boing is hosted in Toronto rather than somewhere in the US is DMCA takedowns.
I think the idea was that lawyers might send a takedown notice over something legitimate (DeCSS, that Bluray code, game console unlocking, etc) posted on Boing Boing. Boing Boing might be willing to tell them to piss off, but the lawyers could also send a takedown notice to the colocation host. That host would likely take down the entire site rather than risk liability. Canadian law still operates on a notice-and-notice system rather than a notice-and-takedown system so if someone sends a takedown notice to Boing Boing’s host, all that host is required to do is forward it to Boing Boing.
