> I wasn't aware they file DMCA requests on behalf of companies... that seems off brand for them.

CSC is a well know high value domain registrar. Similar to MarkMonitor. I'm not surprised CSC does brand protection, also similar to MarkMonitor.

When I was at an employer that became a MarkMonitor customer, we didn't have enough domain business to meet the minimum spend, so we started using the Brand Protection "for free". Sometimes they have a hair trigger, we had our own accessory apps taken down occasionally. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Previous registrar was NetworkSolutions, lol; they had a customer service agent get phished, and the phishermen set new NS records for several domains, including ours. Major PITA.

Have used CSC for domain / brand protection. They offer a reputable service in this space, but i must admit, i developed the view that CSC much be a surreal place to work - i just couldn't figure out what/how/why motivates people to their mission. [obv, employee compensation]
