Where to Send DMCA Takedown Notices
For a while I've had posted instructions for filing a Digital Millennium Copyright Act infringement claim, when you find your work used online without permission and you want a U.S.-based ISP to take it down. But one step that has been vexing is trying to find the right person at an ISP to accept a DMCA takedown notice. But I just came across a U.S. Copyright Office web page that gives the appropriate contact, as well as email physical address, for many hosting companies. This is a lot faster than trying to dig up the proper person from the ISP's site itself.

One minor issue with the USCO site though is that the information there is, usually, very outdated. Myspace, for example, has changed its DMCA contact information twice since it last updated its USCO registration.
I use it as a backup myself. I prefer to stick with the host's page.
