Why couldn&#x27;t a troll issue a &quot;proper&quot; (if fraudulent) DMCA request claiming to represent the copyright holder? It&#x27;s just copying a template, filling in the blanks and sending the email.<p>Google, on the other hand, can&#x27;t deny the takedown as long as all the requirements are met (AFAIK, IANAL), and besides, good luck paying for enough lawyer time when you&#x27;re getting hundreds or thousands of requests per day.
