A plagiarist managed to spin The Digital Millennial Copyright Act to her advantage by backdating a post, then filing a takedown notice to get the original post removed.

The story has some curious twists that are not necessarily understood by those who have taken a close look, including the author herself, who did a detailed analysis, with screen shots, of who wrote what and when, but was left less than certain about what the alleged plagiarist’s motivations could be.
