Yeah, I'm sure it was "just an accident"

Aren't DMCA requests done under penalty of perjury if incorrect? Might be interesting to subpoena some records.

It wouldn't be the first dirty trick of "big-copyright", they had/have some fake twitter profiles engaging in pro-reform conversation.

Wikipedia says there's a "lack of consequences for perjury in claims" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmca).

Among the press articles and misc pages lies https://ec.europa.eu/transport/road_safety/useful-links/eu-l..., a page from the European Commission web site that sports tiny logos from the companies they link to. Isn't that considered fair use?

Also, apparently "Gamble Breaux" is an Australian reality TV actress. Why is a US-only law involved when neither the site or the complainer are US based?

Well, this is a very effective strategy for blacklisting links in Google via DMCA requests. Truly remarkable.

"Fair use" isn't a thing in most jurisdictions.
