IANAL, but sending a DMCA notice to India? Really! I don't remember India being under US jurisdiction. Waste of money.

Actually, to Australia, where dndwebtech seems to be hosted presently, but that would be similarly outside US jurisdiction. Still, while it probably won't help, I don't see how sending a DMCA notice could hurt -- worst that might happen is that someone will laugh at you over the Internet. I've had worse.

Actually, worse might be that the pirate would send a DMCA takedown to your hosting provider. I've seen reports of this happening, from Indian firms no less.

"Actually, worse might be that the pirate would send a DMCA takedown to your hosting provider." Now, that would be funny , lol . I shall probably send their hosting provider a short note about this.

Just FYI: sending their hosting provider a note (other than a takedown / copyright violation notice) won't do much to prevent you from receiving a notice. You might want to put your hosting provider on notice that your content has been misappropriated, and to disregard DMCA notices from anyone claiming the reverse.

Actually, they'd be sending the DMCA to Google to have it removed from Search, not attempting to remove it from the internet
