No, the hosting company is protected until they have actual notice or knowledge of infringement of copyrights, and the notice posted on the website fails to identify any copyrights that are alleged to be infringed.

In this particular case, yes, because GoPro's lawyer is apparently a moron who doesn't know the difference between trademark and copyright.

If they'd claimed a copyright infringement, though, the ISP has to act.

Is it GoPro's lawyer? Seems to me it might well be the CEO's fault for hiring marketing people who would send out such a takedown notice without running it by a lawyer.
