For solid legal advice on this subject, you must retain an attorney who is highly familiar with this area of law. (Just any old attorney who has passed the bar exam and hung a sign will not do.... trust me on that much.)

Right. As I am not Barefootsies esquire.
When we see anything 'legal' come in. I simply hand it over to the lawyer. We had a grand jury subpoena last month for some IP/website that was doing some bad shit. The paperwork comes in, you had it over to the attorney, they tell you what you need to do, the end. Most of the time it's formalities to comply with what they are asking for. But I am not a lawyer, nor claim to be.
However, I can't say I have seen 'contact information' come up in this context or on the forums before, hence my 'best guess'. Normally with a DMCA, you have to follow a specific format including the swearing affirmation, listing what is yours, blah blah blah. That is submitted, they forward to legal, they confirm, and then it's taken down. Clients can also file a counter DMCA, but I have yet to see that happen.
All of this being said, I will yield my time on the floor to Quentin on the subject.
