Hi TimmyQuivy,

As you may already see, a lot of People here thinking the DMCA Takedown Notice is a Fake. As you probably don't know much about the History of Kancolle, I want to give you some more details why a lot of people think this: In the Past, multiple fake DMCA managed to take down the official DMM and Kancolle_Staff Twitter Account. This Action was probably made by an unknown Group, which hates Kancolle. They probably also are responsible for multiple DDoS Attacks on the Kancolle Servers, which caused that the Kancolle Devs called the Lawsuits to solve this problem. Usually, the Devs and DMM don't care much about us "Gaijins" (Foreigners). There are multiple other Wiki's for Kancolle, as well on English as on Japanese, which didn't receive a DMCA takedown yet. Usually, such an action would also be published on their Twitter, which was not the case yet. While I can understand that you need to delete this Pictures now, you should make a backup of them instead while the investigation of the legality of this DMCA is going on. If they are real, they shouldn't care if you have this data on an internal server while you going safely that they are the rightsholders. Like other said, DMCA's can easily be faked, also an Email is easy to fake. As they told that they are the owners of the Twitter account, you just can message that account and ask them if this is real (Preferably in Japanese, the Community sure will help you if you don't have anyone who can translate the message for you). I hope the Kancolle devs react fast to solve this situation :)
