Erroneous Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice

Complaint.

DMCA notice dated January 11, 2012 for this section: Tonga#Economy from Cengage Learning.

Response from the Wikimedia foundation:

In its DMCA notice, the company involved charged infringement, claiming that the article “Tonga” on the English Wikipedia contained content copied from their publication. Our investigation showed that the content in question had been on Wikipedia for years before their work was published, having been taken from public domain publications by the US Department of State (with proper attribution at the time of the edit). The company publication apparently copied from the same source. They have withdrawn their takedown notice, with apologies. We have reported this erroneous report to http://www.chillingeffects.org/.

The probable original source, added 20 December 2003.
