Citigroup Sends Cryptome Second Takedown Notice

20 November 2010. The Citigroup report: http://cryptome.org/0002/citigroup-dmca/citigroup-dmca.htm First erroneous takedown notice: http://cryptome.org/0002/citigroup-dmca/citigroup-dmca2.htm If Cryptome is shut down bookmark this back-up site: http://cryptomeorg.siteprotect.net And two mirrors: http://cryptome.quintessenz.org http://cryptome.sabotage.org PDF of the notice below: http://cryptome.org/0003/citigroup-dmca/citigroup-dmca3.pdf The enclosure was the first erroneous takedown notice. Cryptome's defense against Citigroup's claims under the DMCA: The purpose of publishing this Citigroup report is support the statement by another poster who removed the report after being threatened by Citigroup: The report was an analysis of the Treasury’s proposed bank capital requirements in the run-up to the stress tests. Citi’s conclusion—and I think even the DMCA allows me to quote a phrase this brief from the doc—was that “the US government is following a relatively bank-friendly, investor-friendly approach.” The publication of the report is in the public interest to learn candid, usually secret, views by banks like Citigroup of Treasury actions and should not be denied this knowledge by unwarranted use of the DMCA. Citigroup appears to want to hide its refreshingly candid view when what it should do is encourage distribution of the report as a public service.
