Keep in mind, there's multiple threads on multiple industry forums about the action taken the past month by them. So what will happen is the false DMCA's will die down for a few months and pop right back up again when no one is paying attention.
Shit I would bet money this thread gets bumped in 3-6 months with people going "Hey is anyone getting a lot of DMCA's from this company again?"

Okay interesting -- I didn't realize so many people were impacted. I had never received a takedown notice from Branditscan/DMCA PP until June 25th, which makes the whole situation even stranger.
Apparently they're trusted partners for Google which means takedowns are almost always acted upon. If you look at the transparency report for DMCA Piracy Prevention, Google rejects almost none of their complaints. I'm wondering if perhaps this is in jeopardy due to the slew of bogus takedowns and the volume of counter-notices that have been submitted by me and others, and whether this prompted them to stop or slow down.
Here's the report (

Did you contact DMCA Piracy Prevention directly, or did the notices just stop on their own?
For me, the last takedown notice came in about 27 hours ago, so I’m cautiously optimistic — but still on edge. Would be good to know if reaching out made a difference or not.

I did not contact them, which makes this even more surprising. So far so good. Like you though, my optimism is cautious.
