Crypto Cloud Skewers Itself With Defamation Claim

http://j.mp/ZL8Guz (Wired)

    "This is so often the case with public web services. You can't
     always see behind the curtain. Amazon's cloud services are a
     prime example.  But the CipherCloud controversy goes several
     steps further. Over the weekend, after the company noticed that
     someone had used its marketing materials to criticize its
     practices on a web discussion forum for core software engineers,
     it filed a DMCA takedown notice - the standard means of
     protecting copyright on the internet. Now the hacker world is
     debating whether the company has a legitimate DMCA claim or it
     was just looking for a quick way to squelch criticism."
