We also received duplicate complaints dating back to May 7.

Last evening we received a raft of DMCA takedown notices from NBC/Universal.
Virtually all of them contained claimed infringement dates/times going back
to May 4 - 19, i.e., pretty old. More than that, though, there were numerous
instances where the same complaint was sent as many as three times, so for
example, what appears to be 40 complaints actually pares down to 15 or so.

Just our good luck, or is anyone else seeing this?

Do these people actually know what they're doing?
