So they did this because PDP is "racist" (which is, btw, too deep a conclusion to draw from a single word said in a heat of a virtual battle) but used a DMCA notice that implies that the copyrighted content is used without the owner's permission, i.e. stolen. Clearly, it is not stolen, so they're lying and falsely accusing PDP of a crime. They're totally free to sue PDP, but on what he actually did with all the due process (a defender, etc.). What they chose to do is an abuse of power. The fact that the person being abused is not, perhaps, all pleasant, and they don't want to associate with him, does not excuse the abuse.

The DMCA request is perfectly valid. That said, they still should have provided him with notice before filing the DMCA takedown request.
