Thank you Isabel. This is an interesting issue and there are protections against this very quick injunction process. My own firm had something similar occur and I am a designated agent for the DMCA.
I think the ASF should immediately file an agent with the dmca https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/ and add a dmca agent info to www.a.o. It costs 6$ and I apologize I never thought about it before. Thank you for sending this. I have cc'd the board and vp infra. Sam or David, I suggest we register today and get this done. Going further check that all isps and datacenters we use in the US are also in their. It adds a process and protection layer to anyone filing complaints.
