125. Wow. So you can use the DMCA to shut someone down for 10 days with NO...
proof that the material linked infringes copyright. That has GOT to be unconstitutional.

If people are thinking counterstrategies, obviously it would help to have a bunch of ISPs lined up so that you can keep parking your domain name somewhere else each time your ISP gets this DMCA notice. After 10 days you can go back to your original provider who is insulated once having received your counternotice. Then you can stay on-line until a court of law actually heres the arguments and decides on a preliminary injunciton or whatever procedure the plaintiff then alleges.

I notice that there are no allegations in that letter that there has been 'stolen' material. (I'm not saying those allegations won't ever come. However, theft and/or coversion are serious matters, and it doesn't look like they've come up yet.)
