I mean, it sounds like a lawsuit to me.
A takedown request was issued on false grounds.
This takedown was then actioned without any due process.
The issue has caused tangible, and measurable, loss (calculable from prior sales records).
Honestly, there needs to be a fixed penalty fine for bad takedowns...
I believe all of this is legal thanks to DMCA.
The DMCA doesn't make false requests legal (I'm also not sure if this specific issue falls under the DMCA), but it does fail to define any meaningful penalty for making them.
Domain names arent copyrightable. This falls into trademark laws.
Maybe if they followed the dmca process
They made a false fraud report, not a DMCA takedown (which shouldn’t have taken down the entire site anyway).
