A pretty good article about how people form opinions first and then search for reasons after. "DCMA is censorship", DCMA is being used as it should, it is not for github to decide how DCMA works, there is supposed to be a takedown, and then a response to the takedown, and then time wasting occurs at that point as legal matters usually entail. This applies to any hosting company within the US. "Users must provide a name on signup" like any other sign up process with any other host (if you couldn't tell this was the case from the signup screen, then well) "GitHub takes no liability for account security" forgetting the part where it says "[if its the user's fault]" "github can terminate accounts whenver" is standard for a bloody obvious reason: you never want to have that "oh BUT YOUR RULES DIDNT SAY I COULDN'T DO X" conversation with anyone when X is something that no self-respecting adult should do etc etc "You shall defend and indemnify GitHub" once again missing the "[if its your content that caused us to get into this shitstorm]", you can still sue github without that clause coming into play
