DMCA & RSS Feeds

Anyone ever had someone, or a company, contact them in regards to an RSS feed?

I had some Pakistan bitch ass trick contact me from 646.344.0021. He left me a message, blah blah blah lawyers, removed from Google, wants the profiteering, etc. and so on.

He claims I had a feed on some blog that is his, but does not identify his site, or the feed. However, I am apparently supposed to use telepathy to read his mind and remove it bby his insistence, oh "and the paperwork will be coming from his lawyer".

Since I have no idea what he is talking about, and I have nothing to hide since I bought the blog(s) from DP last year some time, I call the dude back. I wanted to find out what the fuck he is talking about, more importantly, find out feed he is even referring to so I can isolate the problem and remove it.

From the time the jack ass answers the phone he is interrupting me as I am trying to ask him what he is taking about, as well that the blog came with the RSS feeds, and I need to know more details. He, of course, is more interested in threatening me with lawyers, and paperwork, and how he has reported me every where and blah blah blah.

He finally has to catch his breath, and I say, "Can I speak now? I bought the blog from DP, I have no f'g idea what you are talking about... "

*click*

Hilarious. For all his threats, nothing will come of it. In the end, he can have the 50 cents that blog has generated in Adsense. He will, eventually, have to identify what RSS he is even talking about, so I COULD actually remove it. So I look forward to those papers.

As for Google, and all the rest. That is as simple as me faxing forms to Google for re-inclusion, and then counter DMCA. As he did not follow DMCA in telling me what is actually offending, so I could actually remove it in the first place.

Silly people. If you wanna be big man on the internet, that's fine. But fucking know what you are talking about before your sabre rattling. Normally in this situation, if they IDENTIFY whatever it is in their initial email, I simply remove it and end of story. I forego the whole e-penis, macho man, let's see who has the most money and lawyers fandango.

I did a reverse look up and see the Paki bitch is associated with some online media companies, none of which I can see on this subject matter. But whatever.

Anyone else have this happen to them?
