@darrellwhitelaw @Dropbox What makes you think this is the result of hash comparing? Is it possible a public link made it out the the 'net?

@KyleOrl @Dropbox nope. Because it was only shared via IM.

@darrellwhitelaw @Dropbox I understand, but that IMed link could have been passed further (in theory or in practice) right? Just clarifying.

@KyleOrl @Dropbox in theory, yes. However it was generated and shared via IM and that was the screen shown.

@darrellwhitelaw @Dropbox How soon after you generated the shared link/sent the IM did you get the takedown notice?

@KyleOrl @Dropbox the screenshot was the UI when you clicked the link.

@darrellwhitelaw @Dropbox So link is generated/sent, immediately clicked by your friend, and he sees that screen? Within seconds?

@KyleOrl @Dropbox immediate. Not seconds.

@darrellwhitelaw @dropbox @siracusa Seem quote problematic, in a fair use (e.g., scholarship). This is not distribution or sharing, right?

@ceolaf @Dropbox @siracusa apparently only checks hashes when generating a share link.

@darrellwhitelaw @Dropbox @siracusa That’s quite understandable — though still a problem for scholars working collaboratively. 1/2

@ceolaf @Dropbox @siracusa agreed, even my company. We work with big brands. What if we have content for client that's been tagged?

@darrellwhitelaw @Dropbox @siracusa We clearly have to have our own infrastructure for such things. IT groups must offer internal solutions.

@ceolaf @Dropbox @siracusa we use transporter for anything that's not allowed (client mandate) to be on shared boxes.

@darrellwhitelaw @Dropbox @siracusa I’ve HUGE problem w/Transporter ignoring and/or deleting files. Don’t trust that fraudulent product. 1/2

@ceolaf @Dropbox @siracusa 2.0 was leaps and bounds better than the original kickstarter version. However I'm not shilling for them.

@bwinton @Dropbox dead serious. i was just as surprised.

@darrellwhitelaw a few weeks ago I received a email from dropbox about opt out the new terms in dropbox, you ignore that? maybe is related

@omar13x i dont fine tooth comb every EULA that crosses my screen, but i'm also not villifying them for this.
