Techdirt's New T-Shirt Is Now Available... But Its Content Isn't

from the false-contentID dept


Limited time offer: Support Techdirt and get a Takedown t-shirt or hoodie!

YouTube's ContentID system has left many creators in a tough spot, with their videos whisked away by the questionable copyright claims of big media companies — and many a would-be viewer has been met with a disappointing takedown message instead of the content they hoped to enjoy. Now you can remind everyone of the problems with this arrangement with this update of our classic DMCA tee: the Takedown T-Shirt (also available as a hoodie).

This initial run is available until Monday, August 1st, so don't wait! In addition to a basic tee, it's also available as a women's tee and a high-quality hoodie. The t-shirts are $20 and the hoodies have a new reduced price of $35. Get yours today!

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Hoodie should have separate item

    Hoodie should read:

    The contents of this hoodie are no longer available...

    I would really like to buy the hoodie but it doesn't make sense in the current state.

      Re: Hoodie should have separate item

      We'd like to do that too, but currently we can't have separate artwork for the hoodie without a separate campaign - and hoodies so far haven't proven popular enough to sustain a Teespring campaign by themselves.

    Glad you updated it

    When I wear mine, I sometimes get "DMCA, what's that?"

    The content of this shirt is not available due to a DMCA black hole.

    Got the hoodie. Cool! My only comment is, text could be a little bit bigger / more central, so easier to read for passersby ;')) Otherwise good job!
