Our numbers are not quite as impressive averaging between 40-50 each
month, but we did see a jump in November to 75.  That's about a 50%
increase.

Yup, I'm processing way more DMCA notifiations than every before, too.

On a related note, we had never received a notofication from the Frank
Zappa Family Trust before, but got our first one last week.  But it
wasn't a takedown
notice, it was a presettlement notice.  It was also not sent to our
registered DMCA agent address.

Anybody else ever dealth with the Zappas?

Subject: [SECURITY] High levels of DMCA notifications

We are seeing very high levels of DMCA notifications during November
and December 2009. They are running two to three times monthly
averages for the last
twelve months, and the November 2009 total volume received is over
four times the November 2008 total. Is anyone else seeing the same
thing? Is this volume
of notifications a reaction by the copyright holders to the HEOA
including "a vigorous program of accepting and responding to Digital
Millennium Copyright
Act (DMCA) notices" under "a variety of technology-based deterrents"?
