Diebold has been found guilty of violating section 512(f) of the DMCA in California district court.  Section 512(f) makes it illegal to knowingly use fraudulent claims of DMCA infringement as a threat.  The ruling was handed down by Judge Jeremy Fogel in a lawsuit filed by the EFF and the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society Cyberlaw against Diebold, on behalf of a non-profit ISP and two Stanford students, in response to Diebold's attempts to use the DMCA to suppress public disclosure of flaws in Diebold's voting machines.
