I know about SFWA's response; I covered that in my blog this morning (here). SFWA also said that it intends to form a new committee, which may or may not actually happen.

The notion that a service provider may ignore anything except a properly formatted DMCA notice is simply wrong. I gave a link to my Sunday blog post (here), which includes the specific language from the DMCA that disproves this notion. The law says that a service provider must not ignore a takedown notice, not that a service provider may ignore anything else.
