lacaille,
We only send out information about a takedown notice to the person who has the content removed.
There is 100% abuse in the system; in the last week we've received a couple of takedowns from fake attorney's (companies using DMCA to get a backlink) - there was a big piece on it on Hacker News the other day. But we aren't in a position to challenge any of this. We could disclose takedown notices, but it wouldn't probably change anything about how we respond to them.
