Approximately 10 days ago according to SourceForge.Net, they received a lot of coverage regarding a DMCA request that they had received from Apple Computer regarding a product called Playfair. Playfair is (was?) a SourceForge project that removes encryption from Apple's AAC digital music format. The issue was extensively written-about by their sister Web site slashdot.org and other Apple Mac-related sites. The project is now offline. SourceForge added, "When the SF.NET team receives a DMCA request, we follow our policy, which is outlined here: http://tinyurl.com/396x7"
"Typically, when we receive a DMCA request, the project at hand is removed for a minimum of 10 days. The project admin, however, has the ability to make a counter-claim, which can bring the project back online in short order. In the case of Playfair, the admin decided to not make a counter-claim, hence the project is still offline.", the SF.NET report said.
