I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.
Fucko pop should be forced to pay damages. It's too easy for shitty companies to send out takedown notices and too difficult for those takedown notices to be contested by comparison.
the "oh our automated system did it oopsies please forgive us" excuse doesn't make it any better either
That was the whole point of the DMCA, though. Prevent bad publicity by claiming copyright infringement and companiea have to take down the content before they investigate any response. Any time a company doesn't do that they are risking their own necks. So usually they only ignore it if they know for sure it's bogus which requires that they spend the resources on a person reviewing every notice before the required time expires.
