The DMCA form that took 20 minutes when the lawyer wanted $400

Dealt with a guy in Portland who lifted my photos for his camp ad. His lawyer sent me a scary letter, but I found the Copyright Office's online takedown portal myself. Filed it in 20 minutes, ad came down in 48 hours. Anyone else skip the lawyer and go straight to the forms?

Man, that's awesome. It's crazy how much we pay lawyers just to do stuff we can look up ourselves. I've seen the same thing with small claims court, people freak out and hire someone for a simple form. The system wants you to think you need an expert, but half the time it's just reading instructions. Good on you for calling their bluff.
