Mike South posted a story on his site the other day which claims Manwin owned DP as long ago as September 2010 stating DCMA information as evidence but that actually isn’t the case at all. He forgets that long before Manwin bought DP, they took over running their websites and that is why you see Manwin related texts dating back to September 2010 in association with Digital Playground.

Look at this dmca notice I found, note the dates: Fabian claimed he never had anything to do with DP until Dec of 11 Totally not true…
