Though you have now left a paper trail leading back to yourself, and leave yourself open to prosecution for computer fraud and such.

Not to mention a bogus DMCA takedown which has its own penalties.

No trail leading to the DDoS attack, which would be executed by a botnet from compromised home computers, and paid for in bitcoin passed via a mixer, or something.

Does it? It'd be nice if penalties happened more often to the groups that spam out DMCA takedowns.

Has a bogus DMCA takedown ever resulted in actual punishments?
