Re: RIAA DMCA notices malformed this school year

We have seen the exact same thing here with the different XML, Case ID
number reset and delivering to abuse@.  At first I was thinking that
it may have been some kind of abnormality, but I have been getting
confirmation from other lists that this behavior is occurring
widespread.

It appears that the RIAA has started sending their fall DMCA notices
today.  A few issues/concerns/comments/notes:

1. Has anyone else notice malformed XML?  It appears that they have
'&'s where they should instead have '&amp;'s.
2. They are being sent to abuse@ as opposed to our official
registered address for receiving DMCA complaints (copyright@).

We also noticed that the Case ID numbers have reset. interesting.

But, seriously, these issues are pretty frustrating.
