Doesn’t CrowdStrike have more important things to do right now than try to take down a parody site?
That’s what IT consultant David Senk wondered when CrowdStrike sent a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice targeting his parody site ClownStrike.
Senk created ClownStrike in the aftermath of the largest IT outage the world has ever seen—which CrowdStrike blamed on a buggy security update that shut down systems and incited prolonged chaos in airports, hospitals, and businesses worldwide…
Sounds like they could use some more sites linking to them to improve SEO. https://clownstrike.lol/
This. This is why we invented the internet. Well this and porn.
That was a good read with him documenting and sharing everything.
Full Streisand effect.
It’s blocked on my work computer, saying it’s a malware website
"The category of https://clownstrike.lol/ is Phishing
This site has been reviewed recently. We are not accepting category change requests at this time."
Fortinet filter lmao
ill manually whitelist them on my fleet rofl
The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead increases public awareness of the information.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effectYes and no here. Businesses by and large won’t stop using them because of this. And if they succeed, it’s a deterrent for others.
Using the DMCA as a censorship tool needs to be a criminal offense subject to jail time.
Lmao what a legend. How would DMCA even apply in this case though? Parodies are free speech

P.S. Don’t your lawyers have more important shit to be doing right now anyway?

Clown Strike’s only real crime is kerning.
thats not kerning, that’s justification ☝️🤓️
kerning refers to the spacing between individual letters in the words, and justification is a method of typograghic alignment where space between words is stretched to make text flush with both left and right margins
Funny that clownstrike.com redirects to crowdstrike.com. I tried this before seeing the .lol domain. Lol
I don’t see anything on the parody ClownStrike site that infringes the DMCA. At best, Crowdstrike might have a valid trademark infringement claim, but DMCA is only for copyright infringement claims, not trademark claims.
I support the right of clowns to strike for whatever reason
They’ve gotta do something in the face of ballooning expenses…
