EFF agrees to represent BluWiki, responds to Apple

Great news: The Electronic Frontier Foundation has agreed to represent BluWiki regarding Apple's takedown request of the Ipodhash project. The EFF has also published a formal response to Apple's cease and desist email: Apple Confuses Speech with a DMCA Violation.

Also, after writing a public letter to the author of the project, he has contacted us. He sent me an extensive defense of his project that explains why he believes it doesn't violate the DMCA. I hope to publish it as soon as I can get his permission.

Right now our biggest fear is that after we contest this issue, Apple might go to Slicehost or Namecheap and slap them with takedown notices for my accounts. If they do that, all of my sites could be forced offline, including BluWiki. I'm currently trying to contact them to at least make them aware of this issue.

I look forward to working with the EFF and Apple to resolve this issue and get the Ipodhash project back online :)
