I wasn't promoting that website. I simply mentioned it in the middle of a discussion about something else.

" == Description of infringement: Links to the unlicensed broadcast of the Copyrighted Content. This activity is in direct violation of the BCCI’s and its authorized licensees’ rights. These Exclusive Rights have been granted to Novi Digital Entertainment Private Limited (“Novi Digital”). Novi Digital and its authorised sub-licensees are entitled to enforce the Exclusive Rights in the Indian sub-continent."

This is where they got the details wrong: " == Description of original work: Audiovisual footage and production content relating to cricket matches of the Indian Premier League 2017 (“IPL”) organised under the auspices of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (“Copyrighted Content”)."

I didn't post any tweets about the above mentioned IPL 2017 tournament. The removed tweet was posted years ago!

In a desperate witch hunt, they have collected all the links pointing to the website in question. Some posts are years old and posted way before the alleged copyright violation took place.

@lohang What's worse, Twitter may ban your account if that copyright troll keeps filing claims that your tweets link infringing content.

There is this warning in the email: "
Please note that repeat violations of this policy may result in suspension of your account. In order to avoid this, do not post additional material in violation of our Copyright Policy and immediately remove any material from your account for which you are not authorized to post."

If I am to argue against this nonsense I have to send them my "full name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and Twitter user name." and my "physical or electronic signature" among many other things. And also "swear under penalty of perjury that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”

@lohang @lnxw48a1 sounds like a phishing attempt to me. How do you know that any of those claims are genuine?

@bob @lnxw48a1 @lohang I've gotten a few notices like this in the past on the HLA twitter.  Not a single one of them if you looked at the email headers was from an IP controlled by twitter.

This email is from Twitter, no doubt about it. They have already removed the tweet. You can see their explanation here https://twitter.com/lohang/status/126192091549270016
