Survivor contract, rule book are back online
After a challenge from CBS, the Survivor cast contract, which includes the show’s rule book, are back online on reality blurred.
In late July, almost eight weeks after I first published my analysis of an annotated version of the contract cast members sign, a CBS lawyer in New York sent a DMCA takedown notice toScribd, the document hosting service I used to present the files in an easy-to-use reader that was embedded in my stories. CBS’ letter claimed that “[s]uch copying and use of this material constitutes clear infringement of the Rights Owner’s copyrights under the Copyright Act, including the DMCA, and its counterpart laws around the world.”
