I used to work for an ISP and had to deal with copyright notices (99% DMCA) a lot. This caused me so much anxiety and rage because DMCA is an American law not British, but the management decided to "just take the website down, it's easier than having to go back and forth arguing with the copyright trolls". The amount of legitimate websites we had to take offline was incredibly huge, because the decision was to never question a copyright notice - just do it. So if someone wanted to take someone out they would just send us a DMCA notice and we would do it no questions asked. From all those years and hundreds of cases I would say maybe one or two website owners had the means to fight back.
If this is indeed a case of someone trolling the copyright trolls and not a mistake then good for them, I hope they win!
