Fox has been caught out trying to use the DMCA to prevent Google from telling the world about its DMCA take-down notices.

For a while now Google has supported a site called Chilling Effects where a list of all the DMCA notices are posted.

According to TorrentFreak, Fox is doing its level best to get Google to delist DMCA complaints on Chilling Effects, which were originally sent by Fox itself and submitted to Chilling Effects by Google.

Amongst the take down notices Fox wanted was the URL http://chillingeffects.org/dmca512c/notice.cgi?NoticeID=31773.
