Oh god, its more horrible than i thought.

Anyway, jokes aside, what does this actually mean? Will anything happen?[/QUOTE]

Nothing, likely. There exist tons of protections related to what users post on a website. Essentially, we posted something he didn't control on his website that kind of sort of violated their copyright, and now they're butthurt. I guess they didn't notice this was a forum, and that Garry didn't post it.

Same thing we do when the site breaks down - either complain about it on Facebook or porn.

Garry can give them the posters IP, but most of the time they will just request to remove the shit,

I imagine a bunch of nerds sitting around their computer infuriated at this thread as I posted another article from their site and at the OP. They won't be able to come after me or OP because they can't do shit so long as Anonymity exists but I guess after reading the thread they can go after Garry for the news articles that are posted on here from their site, woops.

How come garry didn't get a DMCA?

He is registered with the copyright office right? Some article someone posted said they have to give you a DMCA if you are registered.
