Well an info for all people being targeted by abusive DMCA: a name cannot be copyrighted, it can only be trademarked. So unless they have a trademark on each model name, you can tell them to f*** off (hint: they never do)
Good to know Bill

It's funny you say that because once a model actually had a trademark on the name. Not sure how cb is dealing with that and how we are supposed to deal with it considering the API sends back many thousands of online models at every call.It boils down again to who has the rights to show the live feeds and usernames. It's not trivial.
