High levels of DMCA notifications

[John Baines <John_Baines () NCSU EDU>]

We are seeing very high levels of DMCA notifications during November and December 2009. They are running two to three 
times monthly averages for the last twelve months, and the November 2009 total volume received is over four times the 
November 2008 total. Is anyone else seeing the same thing? Is this volume of notifications a reaction by the copyright 
holders to the HEOA including "a vigorous program of accepting and responding to Digital Millennium Copyright Act 
(DMCA) notices" under "a variety of technology-based deterrents"?
