They're also in violation of the DMCA itself. 17 USC 512 includes this requirement for those filing DMCA notifications: (vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. (See https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512 for full text.) It's obvious from the comments in this thread there are no attempts whatsoever to ensure that the information in these notifications is accurate, that they're sending these notifications to operations under the jurisdiction of US law, and that they're sending them to the relevant/correct operations. ---rsk
