Is there a service that scrapes contact information from websites?

Are there any companies that handle DMCA takedown notices as a service?

• i.e. (1) Allow the party making the claim to submit the notice manually (i.e. no API for submissions). (2) Make sure that all parts of the DMCA takedown notice are complete (contact information, a statement that he has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, a statement that, under penalty of perjury, the filer is authorized to act for the copyright holder, a signature). (3) Deliver the takedown notice to the person who posted the content. (4) Allow that person to make a counter-claim. (5) Permit both parties to try to come to a resolution agreeably. (6) In the case that both parties can't come to a conclusion, one of the two parties can escalate the DMCA takedown notice to the attention of the company hosting the content. Bonus points if the service makes it easy to publish the original DMCA takedown notices to http://chillingeffects.org, so discovery of parties making frivolous DMCA claims can be discovered across all websites.

  Yep, they're called lawyers.  ;-) All levity aside, if you're putting together or reviewing a legal document and acting as a person or corporation's agent in some kind of negotiation, as you describe above, in most states you'd be considered to be "practicing law", and if you don't have a license to do so, you'd likely be committing at least a misdemeanor, if not a felony.This answer is not a substitute for professional legal advice....
