I have a good faith belief that the copyright holder, its agent, or the law do not authorize the use of the material in the manner I have complained of.

I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notice is accurate and that I am the copyright holder or an authorized representative of the copyright holder.

I acknowledge that Wikia reserves the right to release, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the company’s discretion, this takedown notice, with appropriate redactions to private information, to: the individual(s) that the notice alleges infringed upon my intellectual property; the administrators of relevant Wikia communities; transparency websites, such as Chilling Effects; and the public at large.

Looking at the reply and discussing in terms of legal points with my colleagues, this doesn't seem right as a legal writing. Timmy, is this a simplified version of the request for us users to see or this is literally the request? Also, you noted that this came from a confirmed DMM email address. Does this email address match with any records PUBLICALLY available or private only?

Secondly, my colleagues and I do agree with Meatwadsan in that you do need to prepare a couter-argument against this DMCA notice. It's great that you're already taking steps but for us as users, please allow their legal team to work on it. We can only advise, not actually do.

Thirdly, if indeed the rumours are true in that the CEO has lodged this request, then I would be questioning why this had bypassed legal if indeed it has been through legal. My colleagues scrutinised this and they felt that someone just gave the go ahead without proper due dilligence. Hence my reasoning to ask for a formal letter of complaint. That way, you know it is serious enough to warrant.
