Pre-legal action such as DMCA requests or cease and desist letters
Did they get any? I mean I have got some and I don't even host anything at all. I am wondering what they did or did not get in relation to legal action.
I can't speak for other's hosting peoples comments but I would rather avoid getting DMCAs or C&Ds in the first place.
I understand that receiving DMCA's may cause fear, but keep in mind that online communities are very exposed to such action, and handling DMCA notices should be a part of normal operation. Someone always isn't going to like what you are hosting and will try to shut you down legally.
You can't stop any random person sending you DMCA, even if they don't actually own the copyright. If you can avoid the sincere and likely to win DMCAs then you mitigate some of the work. In a big company that's no work at all, by myself that's my limited time alive wasted on outdated foreign law.
