Perhaps they should refer to 17 USC ยง 512 (f). She can sue for misrepresentation. Frankly, I'm surprised that nobody has! I'm sure if she wanted she could extract a lot of money. It would sure stop frivilous takedown requests, too!

The EFF famously sued a DMCA troll, it was quite dramatic. https://www.eff.org/cases/diehl-v-crook

Wow, I didn't know that aspect of the DMCA had ever been used. Do you know of any other cases of that happening?
