US premium cable company Starz has apologized for a DMCA takedown tornado that saw it demand not only that a news article about piracy be torn offline – but also any tweets that mentioned it.

The article was posted last week on news site TorrentFreak and noted that a large number of unaired episodes from various TV shows – including Starz's headlining American Gods – had been leaked and posted online. It didn't provide any links to the stolen material or even mention where the material had been posted but it earned the ire of Starz' legal beagles regardless.
