Thanks for your replies! Along with your other reply here, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15794032 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15794032, I do think both sides could have done better, but it not a path sufficiently well-traveled. The issue at large seems deserving of some best practices love: e.g. 1) All inbound corporate communication channels should have an escalation path to the registered agent / general counsel. 2) Potential plaintiffs should be able to access the directions here https://blogmedia.whoishostingthis.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Photographers-Images-Stolen.jpg https://blogmedia.whoishostingthis.com/wp-content/uploads/20... from here https://www.whoishostingthis.com/blog/2016/01/27/images-stolen/ https://www.whoishostingthis.com/blog/2016/01/27/images-stol... . 3) The directions in 2) need additional guidance language for international issues. 4) Maybe 1) should have a link to 2) or something like it, but for more general legal issues / workflows. I can see that in this case that a web search would have helped, but the root of every complicated, multi-party, decision problem is probably not going to be found on the first page every single time. In 2017, I'd strongly argue that it really should be.
