Apparently, this is the typical procedure for subpoenas, and not specific to the DMCA. According to Wikipedia:
"Subpoenas are usually issued by the clerk of the court in the name of the judge presiding over the case. Additionally, court rules may permit lawyers to issue subpoenas themselves in their capacity as officers of the court."

- AnthonyMouse 3y agoSo a subpoena is just a request to appear or produce something. The requirements for it depend on what kind of something it is. Also, in many cases the person who receives the subpoena is the person who doesn't want to do it, and just because it was issued doesn't mean they can't still go to the court and object to it. The problem here is that the party with both the incentive and the information necessary to object to it isn't Twitter, even though the subpoena was sent to them. So they're kind of saying "we object to this because we aren't in a position to know if we should object to this and we shouldn't be put in that position."
