valid DMCA complaint is received, the forum owner (our client) has promptly removed the copyright infringing content. The forum owner has stated that some DMCA complaints are not valid due to prior art. The forum owner has said that they are willing to back their claims in court. The forum owner claims that the information [redacted] published in a book was actually taken from the forum owner and is actually the brainchild of the forum owner. As you can see, this is not a clear cut situation. It is our duty to moderate between forum users and the forum owner to ensure that DMCA and other complaints are handled promptly. However, we cannot pass judgement on the validity of prior art claims. Those are issues best handled by a judge in court. In cases where a forum owner has proved to be uncooperative, we disable their forum. However, this client has proved to be cooperative, usually responding to claims within 24 hours.
