While these particular notices may or may not be actually legit, the above isn't entirely true either. This is really the entire point of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and its accompaniments; the reciprocal recognition of copyrights. Hosts and registrars worldwide are still administered by ICANN which was also a party to DMCA development and can provide a whole set of other problems for companies that choose to completely ignore or provide proper channels for DMCA takedown notices.
