demonstrates how posing a DMCA takedown letter sent from a lawyer can raise copyright infringment and discovery issues. When a lawyer objected to anonymously posted content on a website, he sent a takedown letter to the hosting company. When the takedown letter itself was posted online, he claimed that the LETTER was copyrighted, and that the posting of the letter infringed.. therefore he was entitled to get discovery from the policital website of the identity of the person posting the takedown letter.
