====Impact====
In September 2003, the SCCS servers survived a [[Slashdot effect|slashdotting]] while hosting a copy of the [[Diebold Memos|Diebold memos]] on behalf of the student group [[Free Culture Swarthmore]], then known as the [[Swarthmore Coalition for the Digital Commons]]. SCCS staff promptly complied with the relevant [[DMCA]] takedown request received by the college's ITS department.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nbcnews.com/id/3341683|title=Swarthmore College's response to the DMCA takedown request|last=Konrad|first=Rachel|date=October 27, 2003|work=NBC News|access-date=March 24, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305141900/http://www.nbcnews.com/id/3341683/|archive-date=March 5, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
