DMCA stands for Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
This is an act of congress from 1998 which says, among other things, that ISPs cannot be held liable for infringements of users so long as they comply with DMCA notices sent by copyright holders.
A DMCA notice is typically called a Cease and Desist notice *C&D* which copyright owners use to compell ISPs to remove infringing content.
One can infer from MR. NLB's falsehood laden posting that he meant to say "Copyright Enforcement Department".
2 Questions for you --
#1 - Why would Copyright Enforcement need to look at the database of customers, if it is enforcing Copyright Violations by those other than customers?
Maybe to check content, see who bought it, and where they use it, perhaps.
#2 - Why would a business person call a group of people inside of a company (corporation, entity) and "entity".
Dunno. Maybe for the same reason Porky Pig put the Rabbit on the fireplace and ran over the old Leghorn's foot with the lawnmower! Don't forget to be late for work!
