More fun with the DMCA

It falls on me, as part of my job, to field DMCA complaints from time to time on behalf of customers that may or may not have been using their connections to download and share pirated software, videos, and such. While I totally understand that intellectual property is Serious Business, but when you’re hiring a firm to protect your rights to Young Tight Latinas 12, wouldn’t they look more credible if they weren’t based in a town named Cream Ridge?
