Yes. If you want to go on a fun legal adventure, sue them. I used to run a legit DMCA takedown business and tons of competitors would just mass spam anything even remotely matching because their tech was trash. Our software instead was accessing every infringing link before sending a request and requiring some human approval. Most likely (I never worked with IPFS so no idea about it) they found those links linked by someone on some other page and believed the information on those links - or they just wanted to shut you down. In practice, almost no-one wants to go through the hassle of actually suing you (especially if you're a 13 year old from another jurisdiction who makes 1k per month in ads on warez -what money can they expect to get from you?) so it's either a very large customer with money to waste (think Zumba Fitness big) or it's just an empty threat. Unfortunately DMCA law is insanely bad as it's forcing compliance from small actors or you're risking legal action - but what can you expect from a government lobbied by copyright owners. I run some website with user uploaded content right now - and I've implemented an automated takedown form which waits less than 24hrs from each takedown request and then automatically remove the content automatically.
