MPAA’s University Toolkit hit with DMCA takedown notice after GPL violation (ars technica)

> Who is doing the distributing and copying?  Not the user.

 The act of installing the software from a CDROM to the hard disk is probably "creating a
copy" under most copyright laws, because the user ends up with two instance of the software.

> The CDROM publisher or web site owner is the one producing the copy.

 Only the shop selling his costumer a pre-installed Linux system enables the user not to do
the copy himself.
 But anyway there is nothing to fear as a user, he cannot break the terms of the GPL license
so cannot be refused his rights under the license.
