About 15 years ago I worked at a small ISP and one of my jobs was handling dmca take downs. Normally this was someone using bit torrent or other p2p software, and I would call them up and tell them to knock it off, or put a note on their account and block them until they called in. One time it was IEEE, one of our customers was a college professor, and he was using his personal web hosting space (remember that?) To host his syllabus including a pdf of one of their standards. I tried to get a hold of him multiple times, but they kept contacting us, more aggressively than the RIAA or MPAA ever did. So I just deleted the file.
