Yeah, they omitted critical information and rejected my attempts to get the information. They also kept the extension down for a month. I contacted a lawyer about this but the costs would have been extravagant, so.

You'll note how in that example, they provide lots of information on the party that filed the DMCA claim. That info is only provided to you if the DMCA notice actually included the info - Google will for some reason process malformed notices that don't contain the required information, which leaves you with no options.

In this case the person filing the claim provided no information except their name (4 japanese kanji) with no further contact information or other details. I was unable to find them on Google, if that was even their name.




That's a different issue from Google not providing the actual notice.

It shouldn't prevent you from filing a counternotice with whatever information was provided - did it?


It did because literally all I got was a name and a URL. I made multiple requests for the info and got nothing. It seems like they can probably get away with doing this unless you're a big company.
